Forums > Model Colloquy > What does it mean to be a muse....
After 3 years I have lost my wonderful muse. She had to quit modeling because her family were threatening to financially cut her off if she continued to model.
She was absolutely a pleasure to work with. She loved our work together and she supported me emotionally in good times and bad. Now I feel like I lost my rudder.
I know it may sound silly but losing a muse hurts.
So this got me to thinking.
What do you look for in a muse and why is he or she your muse. What sets them apart from all the rest.
What does it mean to you to be a photographers muse.... What attributes do you feel a muse must possess.
So all your thoughts and ideas are gratefully accepted

A muse should be someone that inspires you to create, it may be different for everyone. I never had one so I can't say I understand how it feels to lose one. If you look and you are patient you might get lucky and find a new one. Best of luck.

Many years ago, I was lucky to have not a muse, but two muses. They even knew each other and occasionally modeled together. At the time, I didn't know the word muse. I just knew that they were like minded with me, available most times and we shared common goals. One, I introduced to Ken Marcus who auditioned her and she appeared in Playboy two times, but not as a Playmate. she went on to tour with the 'Playboy Girls of Rock-n-Roll' for two years. The other muse, continued to shoot with me over a period of 2-3 years. At one point, she and her husband moved across the country for a job opportunity and I never saw her again.
That was around 1986. I'm still waiting for my next muse, although I have been shooting a lot recently, with a wonderful model from MM. Maybe...... who knows?

I've had a couple of women that have been muses for me I guess, but I've never used that word for it. It was just a period in which we both liked shooting together and had fun with it. Some pictures came out of it. In time it eventually ends.

Yes, that about sums it up. But these are the models I value in a way that they don't really seem to understand. I've had a few who fit your criteria, and they were genuinely modest about their talents. One was completely clueless about just how good she really was, so I tried to tell her. She acted like I was just being silly, but she thanked me for the compliment, which she seemed to feel was misplaced. Not hardly--I meant every word, and the pictures said the rest.

First of all my condolences, having a three year creative partnership end from that sort of pressure and being drug typified as something harmful has got to be a big blow. So keep working and keep your hopes up because they are just more of those destructive and obstructing voices that tell the sort of lies that keep real and good communication and work from happening.
As for the question I think a muse is a person who both represents an ideal of beauty, is present and available for contemplation, and who has some affinity for and response to the work being created. It's a state of mind, an obsession, and a communication and while I don't think it can be forced I do see evidence that there are certain ways of proceeding with relationships and creative work that allow for this and invite it to occur.

Yes I think there is a vast difference between the two. I think crush connotes something like a sexual attraction. For me the muse is not sexual. The muse inspires and is connected to my work in general and the work we create together.

Like everything else, there is a real world definition, and an MM definition.
Real world definition -- Muse: A like-minded artist who inspires your creativity.
MM definition -- Muse: A model who will shoot TFP with you over and over without ever asking to be paid.

I've been lucky to have 2 muses in my life; while they may not be a "traditional" beauty, whenever they're in front of my camera magic happens. I can't explain it, I don't know why, it just works. I haven't tried to ID exactly why it works the way it does, I just snatch them up whenever I can (absence makes the heart grow fonder...)
My muse doesn't know she's my muse, I don't want to mess up the dynamic or make her feel obligated...

Being a muse is the highest form of a model IMO. To me, and to the photographer I'm a muse for, it means I literally "inspire" him to create works of art

You should be able to push them to greater heights, and they do the same for you.
If either one of you stalls for a continued period of time, then something is amiss. Reavaluate & fix, or move on.

I actually found one of mine by posting a flier, simply as a lark, at the local college "seeking a muse". She answered the ad, also as a lark, only to turn out she was the real-deal.
She pushed me creatively, suggesting some crazy-ass ideas. I pushed her creatively, suggesting some crazy-ass ideas. At one point we shot so regularly, we sorta could know what the other was thinking & thus anticipate each others actions. A lot of times, we simply didn't really give a shit about the actual end-results. We'd often just shoot to shoot, sometimes shoot because we were both bored, sometimes shoot expecting crap results & being surprised they weren't crap, etc.
That kind of creatively relationship can be a double-edged sword though. Definitely NOT for the faint of heart!

I was in a frame of mind for a long time needing someone else to be my muse. Like you it happened after a close model/photographer relationship dissolved. No longer, I changed my definition of muse.
If we look at the real world definition, outside of MM. A muse is anything that inspires you to create. It's what you meditate, ponder and ruminate on and eventually makes you get up and shoot. I often work with models who I have a good friendship with but I hesitate to say they are a muse though often they will meet the above definition. Prefer to see them as fellow artists that I create with. We both draw our inspiration from each other, outside sources and experiences.
The 'person as muse' idea is a little subservient to me. Treat each person you work with as an equal and don't expect them to replace your previous model. Let each relationship be it's own thing. Draw inspiration from everything.
Of course these are my own biases, beliefs and opinions (you can tell because I used 'I' a bunch) and others will approach this differently. It did help though and I think I'm a better artist now that I no longer require models to be muses.

I think perhaps the word muse puts some people up in arms because it has come to be seen by some as an intimate relationship (not sexual, but emotionally intimate). I think that can be the case, but not always.
For example, my best friend back in East TN called me his muse. We shot some, discussed a lot of ideas, I helped him choose photos from other shoots, etc.
I would say I am a muse for my husband now. He rarely shoots with anyone else and I happen to apparently fit his vision on the form and type he likes for his art (body type, hair, etc). We develop concepts together, we take over areas in our house to shoot in together, etc.
I have had artists from places I have never been and who I have never met send me messages telling me I am their muse. I take it as flattery and indication that inspire them.
Muse is a word with different meanings for different people ^_^ I choose to think it means I inspire someone on some level and to take that as flattery.

Hey guys.
I apologize if this is the wrong place for this post, but it seemed most appropriate.
I've read over the forum and found multiple methods for putting my iPhone into "recovery" mode, but so far none of them have worked.
Quite honestly, I'm not sure what happened this evening. Two hours ago, my phone was working fine. I jailbreaked my phone and began to install things this evening and upon exiting installer app, the phone froze. I then restarted it, and now it's in a constant loop attempting, from what I can tell, to load up a SummerBoard theme. The original iPhone screen pops up, and then it alters into a black background, including the dock, and only the icons. After about two seconds, it resets itself and does the entire thing over and over again.
I've tried pushing both the power and home buttons to force it into recovery mode, but so far, again, it won't. Does anyone know of any other way to do this? I'm more than happy at this point to do a full restore, but the iPhone will not connect to my laptop...so obviously I'm unable to do that. Thanks you guys so much! I really don't want to have to buy a new iPhone, but since I'm sure the hacking voided the warranty, if I can't get this working I will have to.
Okay, just as an update:
I got it working again! I was noticing that when I put it on the wall charger, the iPhone was responding, but when I connected it to the laptop it was not. I'm sure you all know this already, but I got it to enter recovery mode while the USB was plugged into the computer. I was trying while it was not, and this is why it didn't work. I simply powered down the iPhone, plugged it in, which caused it to boot up, and then held the power and home buttons until the restore screen appeared.
It worked for me, so hopefully some other poor soul looking for help can look to this post for information.
As a side note, I swore I'd never hack my phone if it started working....and I'm hacking it again right now :-) What's wrong with me?

NASHVILLE -- Gov. Phil Bredesen signed an executive order this week that mandates "healthy" food and beverage options in vending machines on the Tennessee state government's executive properties.
The order directs that guidelines be developed, establishing minimum nutritional standards, along with pricing and other incentives to encourage the purchase of healthier selections.
The directive applies to all vending machines on public properties within the executive branch of state government serviced by licensed blind vendors and private vending companies operating on public properties under the authority of the Department of Human Services.
The departments of Finance and Administration, Health and Human Services and designated blind vendor representatives will develop and publish the nutritional guidelines.
Human Services will amend written agreements with property management officials and existing vendors to incorporate the new guidelines and standards by Jan. 1, 2011. All permits issued after that date will include the guidelines and minimum standards.

New For 2014
Not as much as we'd hoped. The 2014 Kia Sedona receives new front fascia, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a full leather interior are the most notable updates.
Vehicle Summary
For every ten or so Odysseys that Honda sells, Kia sells one Sedona. The Korean automaker's minivan is low-priced but undesirable. When Kia announced that there would be no Sedona available for the 2013 model year, we were excited. Kia refreshed the Sedona for 2011, so we thought an all-new Sedona might debut for 2014. And since Kia has done such a fantastic job updating all of the models in its lineup, why wouldn't we be excited? And then we got this, the 2014 Kia Sedona. Like the update in 2011, this model year's news focuses on a tweaked grille. It seems, then, that the Sedona's year away didn't do much of anything. Luckily, the Sedona is due for a major overhaul for 2015. The minivan should come out sometime in 2014, and, from what we've seen in spy photos, it will entail much more than a new front fascia.
There's really only one reason to buy a Kia Sedona: price. The 2014 Kia Sedona starts at $26,750, which is about as little as you'll pay to get into a new minivan these days. Both trim levels, LX and EX, are powered by V-6 engines tied to six-speed automatic transmissions. The current 3.5-liter V-6 replaced a less powerful but bigger V-6 in 2011. The 269-hp engine has no trouble moving the 4450-pound van. The 2014 Kia Sedona is well equipped and has most of the basic features we've come to expect in a big people mover. The base LX trim level gets roof rails, rear parking sensors, Bluetooth, and cruise control. The top-trim EX adds heated front seats, a rearview camera, automatic climate control, a power liftgate, seventeen-inch aluminum wheels, leather-trimmed seats, and two power sliding doors. The EX can also be optioned with a power sunroof, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and navigation. That's not to say that the Sedona gets every dream-minivan feature you can think of. The requisite rear-seat DVD player isn't even available.
That's not the only place the Sedona falls short of its competition. It doesn't match up to its rivals in terms of ride, handling, or refinement. This minivan is aging, and no amount of new lipstick can help that. The next Sedona, slated for the 2015 model year, can't come soon enough. Kia is now proficient at taking bottom-feeder vehicles and transforming them into enviable automobiles, and we look forward to seeing what the automaker can do.

1964 Great Alaska
Earthquake Archive:
1964 3/28 03:36 UTC 61.01N 147.62W 6km deep Mw=9.2, Prince William Sound, Alaska
The death toll of this earthquake was about 125. It is the second
largest earthquake of the world in the 20th century. The Great Alaska earthquake
of 1964 has been extensively studied by many scientists and engineers, and in
particular, by George Plafker who deduced that the source of this earthquake
was a low-angle thrust from meticulous postquake field observations. This
earthquake archive is
created to honor Dr. George Plafker for his many pioneering contributions in
earthquake geology.

DC Returns To Weekly Comics, 3D Covers And Multiple Events
DC Comics announced Thursday that not only is it bringing back the sometimes headache-inducing 3D covers it released with great fanfare during 2013's Villains Month in September, it's also launching yet another weekly series to accompany Batman Eternal and The New 52: Futures End.
An email from DC publicity states that the 3D covers will again hit stores in September, this time tying into a Futures End-related event that will tell stories set in a possible future, five years ahead of the current timeline (like "One Year Later" did concurrently alongside the weekly 52 event series a few years back... x5). Newsarama reports that the new weekly series will kick off in October.

"Discover how to win the lotto EVEN IF you've never won at anything in your life"
...Keep reading to discover how this groundbreaking new system can help you achieve ALL your financial goals with my cutting edge program that puts the gaming industry to shame...
From the desk of: Frank Potter
Dear friend,
Let's be real: Winning the lottery just one time during your life is damn near impossible.
In fact, there's a better chance of you getting stuck by lightening than winning the lottery…….. IF you play the lottery the same way that virtually everyone else does.
The great news for you today is that I have the ONLY real way to win the lotto not just 1 time, but win playing over and over again.
You see, there's a perfectly good reason why 98% of those who play the lotto never ever win anything.
The 2 percent who are fortunate enough to win, do so because they know something that many others like YOU don't:
I don't mean to kill your joy, but regardless of whatever you've been told in the past, the method to winning the lotto has….
Absolutely NOTHING to do with knowing YOUR lucky numbers
Nothing to do with getting advice from palm readers
Nothing to do with what your horoscope says
Nothing to do with where you buy your ticket from
Nothing to do with how many times you play
The method to winning the lotto is something ONLY a select number of people know about…..and guess what?
I'm one of the few who know and TODAY I'm going to share this secret with YOU.
Ok, now I know the question rolling around in your head right now is probably, "Why would this guy tell ME how to win the lotto instead of keeping it to himself and winning all that he can?"
I'm glad you asked.
Well, for me, I like having money, but I also live by the Bible and the Bible says in Proverbs 21: 25 & 26 that the greedy multiply their problems.
Needless to say that since I live by the Bible, I dare not challenge its word and live a greedy life….and I definitely don't want to have unnecessary problems.
It would be pretty greedy of me to win all that I can and never tell anyone, who I know is trying to win also.
And once you say yes to this unique system that I've discovered, tried, and won with over and over again....
If you ask the average lotto player, they will tell you that winning the lotto is all about beating the odds.
Do me a favor, the next time someone tells you that, ask them how many times have they ever won the lotto.
Chances are that they'll tell you that they've never won the lotto in their life.
That's proof right there that you shouldn't be taking advice from someone who has never won the lotto before.
Heck, that's just like believing someone who says sticking your hands in a fiery furnace won't burn. Even if you've never done it, you know that's not true, right?
So why in hell would you do what others are doing who have never won the lotto and never ever will win the lotto?
Today I'm handing you a tested and proven to work system that has not only worked for me, but for dozens of people just like you across the globe.
And once you start using this system, you'll:
If any of this is what you want for yourself then you'll experience all of that and more once you say yes to my top secret….
There's NOTHING on earth like the Lotto Formula that will provide you with the RESULTS that the Lotto Formula will.
The Lotto Formula is based upon factors and indicators that puts YOU in the drivers seat to winning the lotto with ease.
I mean, I can talk all day and claim everything until I'm blue in the face, but the bottom line is that you want results….and the ONLY way to get results is by winning the lotto.
Well with the system that I've revealed in this guide, you'll be empowered with a can't-fail system that makes winning the lotto a cake walk from this day forward.
Let's be honest here, there aren't too many people walking around telling you that they can realistically get YOU to win the lotto.
But that's exactly what I'm saying. I'll hand you the system that I've used to win the lotto over and over again, so YOU can start winning the lotto over and over again.
A recent study showed that the average person who plays the lotto regularly spends about $30,000 a year.
That's $30,000 a year down the drain. But with this breakthrough system that I've discovered, really all you'll spend is the low cost for this system and the purchase of your lotto ticket…..and profit hundreds, thousands, to even millions of dollars.
All you'll pay is $97 for this system
That's right, for less than $100 bucks, you can have a system that has won people hundreds, thousands, even MILLIONS of dollars.
The tradeoff can't be compared to or match anyway you look at it.
Right now you're not winning the lotto, but making the decision to spend $97.00 will have you winning the lotto.
There's absolutely NO risk to you and plenty of lotto's for you to win.
If winning the lotto is what you want, then click the button below to start winning the lotto once and for all!
YES! I know that Frank Potter is a TRUE lotto expert, and is providing me real, hardcore reality based information that I can understand, and implement immediately. There is no vague "pie in the sky" information and NO hidden fees or agendas
I can't wait to get started. Let's do this...
Go ahead, click "Add To Cart" and let's get you making money now,

PS: There's no "might" in it. You WILL win. All you have to do is order the Lotto Formula NOW and your life will change forever.

Finding Jeans That Fit and Flatter
3 top fashion experts spill the secrets of finding the best jeans for your body.
By Colette Bouchez
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
You can pull them up over your hips, but the gap at the waist is big enough to pack lunch for two into.
You find the waist size that matches yours, but they won't come up past your thighs.
The fit is perfect -- until you sit down. That's when half of what you own spills out onto the back of your chair.
If you haven't already figured it out, we're talking JEANS, and how finding a pair that truly fits and flatters is the Holy Grail of women everywhere.
"Shopping for jeans can definitely be a frustrating experience," says Lisa Rudes-Sandel, creator of the Tummy Tuck jean from Not Your Daughter's Jeans (NYDJ). "While there are so many styles to choose from, it's hard to know which ones are going to work best for your body type."
And, she says, while many jeans styles are made to fit the bodies of, say, Kate Moss or Angelina Jolie, it's "real women with real curves who make up the bulk of the 450 million pairs of jeans sold yearly in America.
"If you don't know specifically what to look for, you could spend a lifetime in the dressing room and still not get the look you want," says Rudes-Sandel.
To help make your search considerably shorter, WebMD asked for help from Rudes-Sandel, along with Michelle Madhok, editor of the online shopping site SheFinds.com, and Amy Cafazzo, a jeans style expert from Marshalls department store. They came up with recommendations to suit most every body type, from bootylicious to boy-shaped.
1. Body Type: Curvier Than Thou!
Your Shape: Rounded and well-endowed, with a booty worth shakin'!
Look for: "Boot-cuts and flare legs are a must for this figure type," says Madhok, as the extra width helps balance a wider bottom half. Back pockets should be big, to balance the size of your booty. To highlight curves, Cafazzo says, opt for a jean with lots of stretch, in a mid-rise just below your natural waist.
Avoid: The "hipster" low-rise jean should not enter your dressing room! Also, leave behind baggy jeans, which will only make you look larger. Cafazzo advises avoiding light washes, particularly striated colorations that put lots of light color on the thighs.
Style Recommendations: Tummy Tuck Jeans; 7 For All Mankind's Boot Cut, New York Dark; AG Jeans' "The Club" Well Fitted Stretch Flare Jeans; Joe's Jeans.
2. Body Type: Muffin Top
Your Shape: Thick at the waist, with a high waistline and love handles that spill out over the top of your pants, creating the dreaded "muffin top" effect.
Look for: You might think that all that extra waist-weight belongs tucked inside a high-waisted jean. But experts say the opposite is true. "Adding definition in the form of a medium-rise waistline will not only avoid the fashion faux pas muffin top, but also detract from the focus on a high waistline," says Madhok. Go for a boot cut or slight bell-bottom to balance your thicker middle.
Avoid: Jeans that hit at the waist will bring attention to your largest part. Also stay away from super low-cut jeans, super-skinny leg jeans, and jeans with a light-colored wash.
Style Recommendations: Tummy Tuck Jeans by NYDJ; DKNY East Village Jeans; Levis Red Slouch Straight Jeans; Jeanology by Newport-News.com.
3. Body Type: The Pear
Your Shape: Your bottom is larger than your top, and it's likely you carry most of your weight in your hips and thighs. Your waist may be much smaller than your hips.
Look For: The trick here is to cut the width of your hip area. The best way to do that, says Rudes-Sandel, is by wearing a mid-rise jean with some pocket detail. "If you have no pockets, then you have this wide expanse of fabric with nothing to distract the eye - it just goes from one side to the other," she says. Also important: A wider bottom leg to balance your hips.
Avoid: Stay away from high waisted jeans ("They just give the eye too much to view at once," Rudes-Sandel says). Also avoid jeans with no back interest, super-skinny-legged jeans, and jeans that bunch up at the ankles.
Style Recommendations: Paper, Denim and Cloth; Kasil; Citizens of Humanity.
4. Body Type: The Stalk
Your Shape: You may be overweight, underweight, or normal weight -- but if your body is devoid of curves, you might be thinking men's jeans are the only answer. They're not. Fashionistas say that if your body is a straight road from head to toe, it's up to you to throw in a few curves -- and the right jeans can do that.

Defending President Obama's foreign policy is driving the Left crazy as the failures keep piling up.
The latest victim is CNN contributor and Daily Beast columnist Sally Kohn, who tweeted this on Wednesday morning:
Do Republicans understand that when wars end, prisoners go home?!???— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) June 11, 2014
Yes. When wars end, there's generally an exchange of prisoners as part of a peace settlement.
There's just one problem: The war in Afghanistan isn't over. Like many others on the Left, Kohn is mistaking Obama's word for reality.
Since May 31, when the U.S. exchanged five senior Taliban leaders for captured Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, eight U.S. soldiers have died, seven of them in combat.
I'm sure their families wouldn't agree the war is over yet - and neither will the Afghans who likely will have to keep fighting after Obama decides it's time for the U.S. to leave.

Bremerhaven, Germany (SPX) Feb 06, 2008
In the Southern Ocean, large quantities of surface-drifting plankton algae are able to significantly reduce the carbon dioxide content of the surface waters, which can affect the global carbon dioxide cycle. This is one of the results from an Antarctic expedition which has just drawn to a close in Cape Town on February 4, and which was led by the Alfred Wegener Institute, part of the Helmholtz Association.
On February 5, an international team of scientists will discuss the results obtained to date and pressing questions of Antarctic research as part of a workshop aboard the icebreaker Polarstern. Federal research minister Dr Annette Schavan will use the opportunity to meet representatives of leading research institutions and South African ministerial colleagues. On February 6, Polarstern will promptly leave again for her next Antarctic expedition which is motivated by the International Polar Year 2007/08 and whose goal it is to understand the role of the Southern Ocean for past, present and future climate.
The Southern Ocean - a key region for global climate events
However, since it has a significant effect on the climate of the entire earth, it is absolutely necessary to intensify research activities. The International Polar Year provides a unique opportunity for combining the scientific efforts of various countries in order to gain major insights.
First results from the expedition
Researchers have discovered that melting sea ice has created a pool of fresh water on the sea surface. Algal plankton growing in this pool started to decay and to sink to the seafloor. There, metabolic processes occurred.
The scientists investigated an algal carpet drifting in the water near the edge of the sea ice. This algal bloom measured 700,000 square kilometres, i.e. approximately twice the size of Germany. The researchers wanted to find out which physical conditions lead to such algal blooms, and how they affect the living and non-living environment. Their measurements demonstrate a significant decrease in the carbon dioxide content of the surface water. In addition, the new data show the effect of the plankton bloom on the species community at the seafloor.
For the first time ever the complete water column of the Southern Ocean - from the surface to the seafloor - was sampled simultaneously and comprehensively. The current inventory of the flora and fauna will also provide the basis for comparison with future investigations.
During the expedition, Polarstern also offered crucial support through her icebreaking capacity so that the construction materials for the new German Antarctic station Neumayer III could be unloaded despite severe ice conditions.
On February 5, an international workshop on climate research in the Southern Ocean will take place aboard Polarstern in Cape Town. The scientists aboard the French and German research vessels Marion Dufresne and Polarstern will meet South African partners to exchange results and plan future collaboration. Most German Antarctic expeditions leave from Cape Town, and it is intended to strengthen and intensify cooperation with South Africa regarding both marine sciences and logistics. Federal research minister Dr Annette Schavan will attend the workshop.
The next Polarstern expedition
Recording equipment aboard Polarstern, as well as ocean-deployed buoys and drift units designed to sink to deep water will be measuring ocean currents in the Southern Ocean, distribution of trace substances, transport of water bodies, and interactions between sea and ice as well as ocean and atmosphere. This expedition is scheduled to end on April 16 in Punta Arenas, Chile.
Teacher participation in the expedition
Charlotte Lohse from Hamburg and Stefan Theisen from Kiel will be actively involved in the expedition research, allowing them not only to refresh their knowledge about current climate research, but also to communicate their insights via telephone and internet to their students.
"I hope that I can personally bring home many impressions from this research voyage, so that I can provide the students with a more accurate representation of the Polar Regions. During preparations for the trip and in conversations with my students, I have experienced great enthusiasm in these young people when it comes to the subject Antarctic", says Charlotte Lohse, teacher at Heisenberg Gymnasium in Hamburg.

River Plants May Play Major Role In Health Of Ocean Coastal Waters
Cambridge MA (SPX) Jan 31, 2008
Recent research at MIT's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering suggests how aquatic plants in rivers and streams may play a major role in the health of large areas of ocean coastal waters. This work, which appeared in the Dec. 25 issue of the Journal of Fluid Mechanics (JFM), describes the physics of water flow around aquatic plants and demonstrates the importance of basic research to environmental engineering.

A Destrehan man who was accused of raping his wife several times over the past 16 months was arrested on Thursday, according to the St. Charles Parish Sheriffs Office.
The mans name was not released to protect the womans identity. He was booked with aggravated rape and oral sexual battery, and remained in the St. Charles Parish jail with bond set at $200,000.
Authorities allege that the assaults happened several times since November of 2010.

The zero lower bound and longer-term yields
The Federal Reserve lowered its traditional monetary policy instrument, the federal funds rate, to essentially zero in December 2008. However, economic activity generally depends on interest rates with longer maturities than the overnight fed funds rate. Research shows that interest rates with maturities of two years or more were largely unconstrained by the zero lower bound until at least late 2011. This suggests that, despite the zero bound, the Fed has been able to continue conducting monetary policy through medium- and longer-term interest rates by using forward guidance and large-scale asset purchases.

It has certainly been the summer of cricket, with Nine's international cricket coverage, as well as Network Ten's Big Bash, capturing audiences, while Seven Network's coverage of the Australian Open has failed to garner the same interest it did last year.
Nine executives will be cheering at the fact that the Australian Open's most-watched session ranked lower than the top five sessions of the One Day International series between Australia and England.
Whether Nine will be able to maintain its current dominance as the year goes on remains to be seen.
The broadcaster has already taken steps to freshen up its regular schedule, with the relatively quiet introduction of a one-hour news bulletin at 6pm, which seems to have caught Seven off guard, at least for the moment.
With an initial public offering price of $2.05, shares in Nine have performed solidly, adding close to 4.5 per cent.
Morgan Stanley analyst Andrew McLeod said an expected improvement in the advertising market, coupled with growing TV market share, made Nine a "buy", at least in the short term.
In the longer term, Nine would have to address the growing interest in and penetration of internet-protocol television if it is to maintain and grow profits.
Media companies have traditionally struggled to combat the ever-growing influence of the internet.
However, for the time being television remains a powerful advertising medium, according to Deutsche Bank research analyst Entcho Raykovski.
"TV continues to be favoured by the large advertisers, with only 2 per cent of ad budgets lost in admin costs, compared with 28 per cent for online display advertising," Mr Raykovski said.
The combination with its events business, which is expected to enjoy the benefits of improved consumer sentiment, makes Nine shares a buy for Deutsche Bank, with a 12-month target price of $2.30.

A vegetarian restaurant where real thought has gone into the creation of dishes, which deliver an array of interesting texture and flavour contrasts. Modern techniques are subtly incorporated and while there are some original combinations, they are well-judged.
Michelin Guide
Interesting, innovative dishes that combine high-quality ingredients, up-to-the-minute technique and a sound approach to texture and flavour contrasts. The AA Guide, 2 Rosettes
Surprising and delighting even the most devout carnivores. Zagat
The parcels of fresh greens are tender, with a punchy sauce that wows but doesn't overwhelm. Now this, I imagine, is what vegetarians come off the beaten track to eat. After my visit, a friend asked me if I'd recommend it as a good place to take his vegetarian teenage daughter for a special occasion. I certainly would: it has a gravitas and elegance missing from the rest of the "brown rice brigade".
Lisa Markwell, The Independent on Sunday
Vanilla Black is without doubt the best vegetarian restaurant I've been to in this country. It's certainly the poshest. The cooking is refined, adventurous and presented with an artists eye for shape and colour. It's certainly somewhere I'll be recommending in the future and not just to vegetarians.
Tracey MacLeod, The Independent
The food is creative, beautifully presented and exciting. Staff are informative and attentive. Vanilla Black is not likely to become your local; it's an upmarket treat.
Simon Hattenstone, The Guardian
My veggie pal, resigned to too many mushroom risottos and roast veg and goat's cheese towers, is impressed. But it's the syrupy, custardy sponge pudding that wins the day: gorgeous.
Marina O'Loughlin, Metro
The part of this meal which really indicated a strong hand in the kitchen was the smallest: a tiny pot of home-made brown sauce. I hope to return soon to give the menu a proper shakedown.

Gazella bilkis
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Gazella bilkis
|Species Authority:
|Groves & Lay, 1985
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Notes:
|The validity of this taxon is unclear. Some authors have considered bilkis as a subspecies of G. arabica, a little-known gazelle known from a few specimens on the Farasan Islands (Groves 1996, Grubb 2005). However, the type specimen of G. arabica has recently been shown by DNA analysis to be a misidentified specimen of G. gazella (Bärman et al. 2012). Genetic research at King Khaled Wildlife Research Centre, Saudi Arabia, also raised some doubts about the validity of the specific status of G. bilkis. Regardless, there is no doubt that the population of gazelles originally described as G. bilkis is certainly now extinct.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Extinct ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|IUCN SSC Antelope Specialist Group
|Hoffmann, M.
This gazelle is known only from five specimens, collected in 1951 in the mountains near Ta'izz, where it was reportedly common at the time. There have been no subsequent specimens, sightings or reports, and the species is now considered Extinct, if indeed it is really a valid species.
|Previously published Red List assessments:

Baker Selected as Andrus Award for Community Service Winner
Elaine Baker, Ph.D., MSW, of Mound Bayou, is the 2012 AARP Mississippi Andrus Award for Community Service winner.
See Also: Read About Past Winners
As a longtime volunteer, advocate and community leader in the city of Mound Bayou and previously in Albany, Ga., Dr. Baker has displayed true altruism and dedication to the welfare of those who need it most.
Describing her desire to give back as simply being "a part of who she is," Baker quickly grasped the concept of volunteerism as a young girl in the small town of Mound Bayou.
"Growing up as a child, I witnessed the lifestyle of the residents and people were always concerned with helping other people," she said. "I learned people can act as a solution, not just a problem. As a child I was always willing to help anyone."
With a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology from Tougaloo College and a plethora of other educational accomplishments, Baker admits her major provided a theoretical basis on the importance of volunteering. "Through my Sociology major, I received a theoretical understanding of the role people can play as citizens."
Baker also earned a Masters of Social Work with a Community Organization concentration from Atlanta University School of Social Work. She earned the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Public Administration from the University of Georgia with concentrations in General Public Administration, Organization Development and Health Care Administration.
With more than 50 years of volunteer experience, Baker has fought to raise the level of volunteer awareness among seniors; formed partnerships with cities through community conversations; and helped increase membership and educate citizens on the benefits and positions of AARP. Baker proudly states the oldest Mound Bayou chapter member is over 90 years old.
Baker, who is president of the AARP Mound Bayou Chapter, views her volunteer work as the rent she pays for being blessed to live. "Through volunteering you are able to network, meet a lot of people, learn to respect differences and aid others in becoming all they can be and the best they can be," she said.
Baker goes on to explain why volunteering is vital to her while addressing its great rewards. "Volunteering is important to me because I have been given so much. Not in terms of economic gain, but through people, family, church families and teachers who went beyond the call of duty," she said. "Students I taught in 1970 still share information with me, some even own organizations and call me to serve on their boards – it's recycling!"
This year, she also is involved with The Get Out The Vote effort.
Recently, Baker has begun nurturing another effort. Through a recent meeting with Dwana Lyles, who works with the senior group at St. Gabriel Mercy Center in Mound Bayou, Baker expressed the need for an Alzheimer's Support Group. As a result, Lyles has pushed for the creation of this group and its first meeting is set. "I have been locally distributing the flyers and am very excited about the upcoming meeting," said Baker.
Baker said she has seen an increase in the number of volunteers in her community. She describes the mission as an ongoing task to keep people engaged. "We are really working to communicate with those approaching 50," Baker said.
Baker is a Professor Emerita of Social Work at Albany State University in Georgia. Her teaching career spanned more than 30 years in the University System of Georgia and continued with post retirement adjunct appointments at Delta State University and Mississippi Valley State University.
In addition to this, Baker is a member of the Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church. Her other community involvement includes Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Mound Bayou Public Schools Alumni Association, NAACP, NCNW, and Tougaloo College National Alumni Association.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: why are the abs and 4-wheel drive lights on on 2005 Mercury Mariner
abs and 4-wheel drive lights are on. how much are these repairs usally.
| |
Many sensors on modern cars multi-task and report to more than one computer. A sensor failure or inaccurate signal may be responsible for both lights or circuits being affected. In either case a scan tool will be required to diagnose the circuit further and figure out the source of the problem.
I have the same issue. I was told that there was a wheel speed sensor for my abs. These are found behind the wheels. The problem is finding which one has malfunctioned.
Same thing happened on my '06. There's an ABS "tone" ring, aka sensor wheel, at each wheel located on the hub end of each halfshaft. Mine failed on the front passenger side and both front rings are easy to see just by taking a peek with a flashlight. I saw mine was cracked right away and it spun free on the hub. Definitely a DIY repair for $15.00 or so at your local parts store. Dealer probably wants a couple hundred bucks and would more than likely try to sell you a halfshaft as well. Just replacing the shaft would be easier and more profitable for the dealer. Some helpful web videos available to help you out. Naturally the problem could be something else but it appears this failure is common on this vehicle. The aftermarket part will more than likely outlive the vehicle. (Go figure.........I have a Chrysler with almost a quarter million miles on it and NEVER had this happen. Yea Ford!!)

About Me
To escape the mundane
I have a hard time summing myself up in a text box. I'm a little bit shy, but there's usually a lot going on in my head. I like listening a little more than I like talking. I love being outside (especially in the woods), having adventures, meeting new people, dogs. I've done a few things, haven't done a whole lot more and want to do everything I can. When I grow up, I want to own land, build a house and grow my own food. Right now I'm learning how to be a farmer and a potter, but I was doing some other things first. Someday I want to hike a very long distance.

The Amherst Ramblers have dealt another 20-year-old, sending Ryan Caswell to Summerside so he can attend school there in the fall.
SUMMERSIDE – The reshaping of the Amherst CIBC Wood Gundy Ramblers continues.
The Ramblers announced the trade of 20-year-old forward Ryan Caswell to the Summerside Western Capitals on Tuesday.
Amherst also sent a ninth-round pick to Summerside in return for the playing rights to Karl Belec and Sam Cameron – who were both drafted by the Capitals on June 7.
"This is a move to accommodate Ryan's wishes to go to school on Prince Edward Island next year," team president Jim Henwood said Wednesday. "Ryan's father contacted us right after we let Jim go to ask us if we could move Ryan to Summerside so he could go to Holland College. We didn't want to stand in his way or not let him play hockey. We wanted to accommodate him and Josh (Hepditch) says we got some really good, young assets in return."
Caps GM Pat McIver is happy with his latest acquisition.
"He's (Caswell) a 20-year-old that is hoping to be going to school here (at Holland College)," McIver told the Journal-Pioneer. "He's going to be a good player. He was a really good player last year, and he will hopefully be an even better player this year."
In 51 regular-season games with the Ramblers last season, the six-foot-one and 185-pound Caswell, who is from St. Stephen, N.B., recorded 43 points – 18 goals and 25 assists – and 48 penalty minutes.
"I like him a lot," said McIver. "He plays with grit, has some skill, is a two-way player and is a hard-working player.
"Fans are going to love watching this kid play."
Belec, who had 26 points, including 11 goals, in 35 games with the Moncton Flyers last season was taken in the fourth round of the draft while Cameron was a ninth-round selection. In 34 regular-season games with the Fredericton Canadiens, Cameron had 24 points, including 11 goals.
"We gave up two pretty good prospects, and they may have two players for a total of eight years (four years each), but with our depth up front and the age of our forwards, it allowed us to make this deal," said McIver, who added Caswell "is excited to come (to Summerside)."

Route Grade Votings
Total votes cast 25
Adjacent Routes
Climb the groove to the top on spaced bolts. Polished.
Definitely needs a wire
Not really a sport route. Sensibly bolted it would be a straightforward 6a but its more like E2 5b at the moment.
needs another bolt putting in below the first.
Now fully bolted, just about warrants the 6a+ grade. Still some loose rock where the route has been extended.
New Guidebook topo has the line marked too far across to the left. Route starts on the face rather than in the groove.
Nice sustained climbing. Just don't think about the about the top third of the route; climb it, enjoy it and sneak away before it all comes tumbling down.
Not worth a star, it's not one of the better lines on the wall
Gary has this climb to the right of the line marked in rockfax N Limestone. The line marked up in N Limestone being The Hippy, Hippy Shakes (6a+). If in doubt check sportsclimbs.co.uk

Robbie goes to Hollywood
Let me entertain the US: Robbie Williams hopes to be a hit in America
Robbie Williams has gone to Hollywood to launch his campaign to become a star in the US.
The former Take That singer - nominated for six Brit awards - made his Los Angeles debut last week at Hollywood club The Lucky Seven.
Before an audience of about 200, he performed songs from his current album I've Been Expecting You, which will be released in the US in May.
Capitol Records president Roy Lott is predicting a long and challenging campaign to make Williams follow in the footsteps of the likes of George Michael.
But Williams, 24, who is enjoying being able to walk around and not be mobbed, is philosophical about his future.
He said: "If I don't get big here, I have a great place to go on holiday.
"And if I do get big, then I I'll have enough money to take a holiday on the moon."
Pop veteran at number 10
The 54-year-old appears on the All Seeing I's new single Walk Like A Panther, which is written by Cocker.
His biggest hit was I Did What I Did For Maria, which reached number two in 1971.
The song is referred to in the opening lines of Walk Like A Panther, which entered this week's chart at number ten.
Christie, whose last single reached number 35 in 1976, was often compared to Tom Jones but never achieved the same level of fame.
He now lives in southern Spain and is currently on tour in Germany, where he has remained popular.
Dalton's dream city
Dalton plays Julius Caesar in the production, which will be seen as a four-hour television mini-series.
The production called for the Egyptian city of Alexandria to be reconstructed in Morocco, and 10,000 extras and 7,000 horses were also used.
"I've never worked on a set so big - ever," Dalton told USA Today. "Driving in my chariot from one end of this huge city to the other lingers in my mind. They built the heart and essence of a city which we've never seen. It's tremendously exciting."
Chilean-born Leonor Varela takes the title role in Cleopatra, with Titanic star Billy Zane playing Mark Anthony.
Williams wanted for Ealing remake
Williams would take Sir Alec Guinness' eight roles in the film, playing eight members of a titled family under threat of murder from a rogue relative.
Kind Hearts and Coronets was made at the famous Ealing Studios, which also produced classic comedies such as The Lavender Hill Mob, The Captain's Paradise and Two Way Stretch.
Hoffman photo row ruling expected
The actor issued a $5m lawsuit against Los Angeles Magazine for superimposing his face onto the body of a man wearing a designer gown.
Hoffman said it turned him into an unpaid fashion model.
The magazine insisted it portrayed his character in Tootsie - his 1982 film where he played a man masquerading as a woman - rather than Hoffman himself.
Prince of Egypt banned in Maldives
Hollywood's latest animated musical The Prince of Egypt has been banned by the Maldives on grounds that its portrayal of Moses is offensive to Islam.
The ban follows a ruling by the Moslem country's Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs that prophets and messengers of God cannot be "portrayed in any form".
It stated that the events portrayed in the DreamWorks Studios film about Moses leading the Jews out of Egypt - were contrary to the teachings of the Moslem holy book, the Koran.
ITC reject complaints about Springer show
The US-made TV programme The Jerry Springer Show has been given the all-clear by a UK TV watchdog after members of the public complained.
The Independent Television Commission admitted that items on three editions of the show "attracted a higher than average number of complaints from viewers" but it said that none had breached its programme code.
Viewers objected to subject matter which included the female victim of a sexual assault confronting her male attacker and a woman in a swimsuit covering herself in sauce and allowing men to spoon it off for a dollar.
The ITC said although the shows were rowdy they "did not go beyond a point that could be regarded as decent".

This worked very well for me! Much less frizz on my second day hair than with spritz bottle
I used a cotton tshirt to soak my curls with, then another to scrunch with, then SOTC when dry. Fab! thanks for the cool tip!
Finer, mixed with coarser strands, low-porosity, wavy curly whirly hair...3A, 2C hair. Medium thickness, medium elasticity.
S-shaped hair with corkscrew ends. My hair is even more confused than me ;p
My hair officially hates protein
Once a month is enough!
Currently a fan of TiGi products, (rock on, TiGi Curlesque styling creme!) but that will soon change - I am a self-avowed product junkie! Yay!
BIG fan of supersoaker method - thanks Rudeechick!

Hanoi (AFP) April 3, 2013
Vietnam has announced an immediate ban on all Chinese poultry imports and stepped up border controls after its northern neighbour reported two deaths from a new strain of bird flu.
There have been seven human infections -- two fatal -- in China from the virulent disease, according to local authorities, the first time the H7N9 strain of avian influenza is known to have been transmitted to humans.
Hanoi has imposed the ban to "actively and efficiently prevent the intrusion of the H7N9 virus into Vietnam", according to an urgent message signed by the Minister of Agriculture Cao Duc Phat.
The ban was effective immediately, according to the notice which was posted on the ministry's website late Tuesday.
Chinese authorities are trying to determine how exactly the new variety of bird flu infected seven people, but say there is no evidence yet of human-to-human transmission.
In Shanghai, where two people have died from the virus, some residents expressed worries on Wednesday over eating poultry.
At a traditional food market in downtown Shanghai, one middle-aged woman shunned the freshly-plucked chickens and duck necks on display.
"I'll stop buying chickens for the moment and wait until the situation eases," she said.
Shanghai officials have assured people that the city's chicken and pork are safe to eat, after the H7N9 cases and the recovery of more than 16,000 dead pigs from the city's main river last month, but many are unconvinced.
"I don't dare eat fowl or chicken. I'm going to be a vegetarian," said a Shanghai resident posting on a microblog under the name Miss Muyisi.
Imported poultry from China -- both legal and smuggled across the 1,350 kilometre (850 mile) land border -- is commonly found in Vietnam's markets.
Thousands of live chicks and tonnes of chicken from China have been confiscated by Vietnamese border authorities over the past few days, according to the ministry's notice.
Last year two people died in Vietnam from the more common strain of avian influenza, H5N1.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Vietnam has recorded one of the highest numbers of fatalities from bird flu in southeast Asia, with at least 59 deaths since 2003.
H5N1 has killed more than 360 people globally from 2003 until March 12 this year, according to the WHO.
It said there was no evidence so far of human to human transmission between the confirmed H7N9 cases in China, or among their contacts, but added it was crucial to find out how the virus infected humans.
The official Vietnam News Agency said Wednesday the H5N1 strain of virus is currently under control in the country. The government has approved purchase of 40 million doses of bird flu vaccines to prevent outbreaks.

Although both are expected to be fine and by the time the season starts it may be a complete non-issue, there should be some concern with the health of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. The Colts and Patriots have been the dominant teams in the NFL for much of the last decade and every year they seem to be locks for the playoffs and Super Bowl contenders. There is no question though that both teams are incredibly dependent on their star quarterbacks and if either would miss time it would be severely detrimental to the team's chances to win.
Peyton Manning had minor knee surgery this summer and though it was a common procedure and he should be ready to go, it is unlikely he will get in his normal practice and preseason snaps before the regular season. Injuries are a huge issue for the Colts in general with Marvin Harrison, Dwight Freeney, and Bob Sanders all working back to playing shape and still question marks at this point. The Colts might be able to get by the Bears at home to open the season with an incomplete team but Minnesota and Jacksonville are the next two games and any missing stars or rusty players could be a problem.
Another issue for the Colts this year is brand new stadium in Indianapolis. The Colts enjoyed a thorough home field advantage in recent years and the stadium suited their style of play perfectly. Obviously the construction came with the team's best interests in mind but it could take some time to make the adjustments to the new field and surroundings.
Talk of the boot around Tom Brady's foot dominated Super Bowl coverage and again Brady is battling an ankle injury although it is claimed to be a different unrelated issue. All reports indicate that the measures are all precautionary but still there has to be some concern for injuries as Brady gets older. The Giants also offered a blueprint for success against New England in the Super Bowl so teams will be bringing as much pressure as they can at Brady and he will likely hit the ground a bit more often this season.
These developments could prove meaningless once the season starts but there should be some optimism for teams like Jacksonville, San Diego, Pittsburgh, and even the New York Jets as the AFC may provide a bit more balance this season as the two elite teams could have some health issues with their star signal-callers at some point this season.
