That brown looks amazing! I've been looking for a nice brown ink for a couple of weeks now to go with my Pelikan M200 Cognac, and this might just be it.ReplyDelete
Great artwork again! Thanks Joe and Alex!

Just about a perfect match-up. That Stipula Sepia has some gorgeous shading with the Monteverde stub nib taking full advantage of the ink properties.ReplyDelete

Perfect Match up! So great, well I went and ordered myself the exact same pen and ink sample :) Thanks for helping get me into my Autumn/Fall spirits! :)ReplyDelete

I've been lusting after this pen for a while now. Tried the Sepia last year but didn't care for it -- I was really looking for more of a dark chocolate brown. Haven't quite found that yet, either, but may rethink this sepia ink. It is gorgeous, and amazingly similar to the color of the pen. HmmmmmReplyDelete
That's a gorgeous pen, and on my list of future purchases. :) My favorite browns so far are Pilot Iroshizuku Ina-Ho (lovely gold highlights, though Diamine Golden Brown comes close) and Diamine Chocolate Brown -- as yummy as its namesake!ReplyDelete

I would love to know how to make such lettering, I find that so beautiful !ReplyDelete

Seeing a written sample like this is so much truer than an ink swab, who writes with cue tips? I would try more ink after seeing it in this way. Well done!ReplyDelete

Beautiful pen and I love sepia and sienna inks. I also like Monteverde and this is a handsome set. Thanks for sharing it.ReplyDelete

More about Carina
Hi, I'm Carina! I created Fuzzypants Pet Photography after snapping a photo of my cat Samwise, contorting his 16-pound self into an epic kitty yoga stretch. I'm pretty sure my exact words were "Samwise, you sure do have some fuzzy pants!"
I've had a camera attached to my hand since I was a teen, and I have been photographing pets since 2011. I am a geek at heart, and I have a fondness for all things Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, and Batman. (As a child, I learned the hard way that I can't pull off a Bruce Wayne haircut. Not cool.)

My dog will never sit still for pictures.
While not exactly a question, this is the most frequent comment I hear and my response is always, "Excellent!" If you have an energetic dog, I definitely do not want to change that about them and I want that energy to shine through in their photos. I do lots of running around and rolling around so that they feel as natural and happy as possible. The investment I've made in my equipment, lenses, and learning to use them properly allows me to capture the action "mid-zoomie"!

LONG BEACH - Sophomore Taylor Crabb has been selected to the 2012 Volleyball Magazine All-America Third Team the publication announced last week.
Crabb led the 49ers with 303 kills (2.75 kills/set) and ranked first on the squad with 1.91 digs per set. He also totaled 20 service aces, 42 blocks and 72 assists.
The Honolulu, Hawaii, native registered 16 double-figure kill matches with a season-best 20-kill effort at Hawaii on March 31. He also had a team-high seven double-doubles, including an 18-kill and 10-dig performance in a five-set win over No. 4 BYU (March 24).
Earlier this year, Crabb was named to the All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Second Team. He was also an All-MPSF honorable mention and All-Freshman Team selection in 2011.

Course content
The MSc Public Management and Governance builds on LSE's international reputation in public policy. Public management and governance is an interdisciplinary field with roots in a number of academic disciplines. A major research and teaching focus in public management is on designing organisational practices, producing and using systematic analysis within the policy process, information and communication technologies, leadership, performance measurement, design of incentives, and public accountability. The issue of public governance has become increasingly important with perceived failings of professional self-regulation, the emergence of multi-level systems of political jurisdictions and administrations and the expanded role of the private sector in delivering publicly-financed services.
The programme is designed with employers in mind; you will find good employment opportunities in government and the public sector in your own country, in international agencies and professional services firms.

Tottenham have reignited their interest for Newcastle attacking midfielder Moussa Sissoko, according to a reliable journalist.
BBC Sport senior correspondent Ian Dennis has claimed on his personal Twitter account that Spurs are currently ahead of Everton in the race for the France international and that the London side are confident a deal can be done.
Sissoko, 27, has been eager to leave St James' Park this summer following the club's relegation to the Championship and it is now looking increasingly likely that he'll return to the Premier League before Wednesday's 11pm deadline.
Only report what I'm told – Spurs ahead of Everton for Moussa Sissoko and confident a deal can be done for the #NUFC midfielder
— Ian Dennis (@Iandennisbbc) August 31, 2016
Sissoko played a key role in getting France to the Euro 2016 final during this summer's Championships, but he has so far not made an appearance for Rafa Benitez's side in the new campaign.
The 44-time capped international has been linked with a number of leading European clubs this summer, but they have so far been unwilling to meet Newcastle's £35million valuation of the player.
Much like their manager, Sissoko would stand out in the Championship if he does stay at the north east club and given that he still has three years left on his contract, Newcastle aren't under any pressure to sell.
Mauricio Pochettino has already announced the signing of one French attacking midfielder on Wednesday in Georges-Kevin N'Koudou from Marseille, but the Argentine boss could be looking to bring another attacking player in to add depth to his squad.
Everton will also be keen to add another attack minded player to their squad, as Ronald Koeman looks to strengthen a squad boosted by only four senior arrivals to date this summer
However, with Tottenham now reportedly in the lead and with the offer of Champions League football it is looking likely that Koeman is set to miss out on another target this window.
In other Tottenham transfer news, duo Luke McGee and Nathan Oduwa have joined League One side Peterborough on loan until January.

I only pull a computer from an end user when their productivity starts declining due to the speed of the computer.
This is governed by the user and their manager and how they measure their productivity.
For IT to make the sole decision on when to replace a "working" computer is a bit ridiculous. For example, a secretaries computer, who only does basic Office documents and web browsing does not need an Intel Core 2 Duo or an AMD X2 with 4G of RAM. That particular role can use an AMD 1800+ with 1G of RAM for the past 5 years, and continue to use it for the next 5 years. Of course providing she stays in that role, AND there is no plan to upgrade to Vista or Office 2007. In my opinion, it really falls down to the users expectations, experience, and productivity that governs whether it is justified to upgrade a computer or not.
However, it sounds like you have "contracts" between your customers on when to "upgrade" computers, so there may be no leverage on reusing older equipment.
(I did not however state on upgrading the computer if the older computer dies, which is our normal policy anyways)
Mar 26, 2008 at 3:44 UTC
Hi Hytek
Thanks for the feedback!
The owners of the companies choose their lifespan policy. I think my customers are like your departments.
Whats a guess for how much you spend on pc's in an average year.
How old is the oldest machine in your shop?
Mar 26, 2008 at 10:10 UTC
I cannot state accurately how much we spend on computers in 1 year as I build computers for both government and private applications, and our company specializes in certain areas that utilize computers for other then normal desktop/server roles. So my estimate of $450K+ per year on new equipment alone is a bit exaggerated when viewing it from a workstation only perspective.
We also use Linux and Windows based, so the cost can vary a few hundred more on the Windows side. I'd say average per normal workstation computer is $900 with 20" wide screen LCD, 4G RAM, dual core, 250G drive, Office 2k3 SBE, and either Windows XP or Crossover Office (for Linux to run MSO2k3).
Oldest working computers would be around the 5-6 year mark, and they are still in use, and the developer (yes software developer) refuses to let me upgrade his computer. I have a few more 3-4 years, and all the rest are 0-2 years. (mainly because we had a large company growth in that time frame)
Mar 27, 2008 at 1:07 UTC
Thanks HyTek
So for a Windows box you might spend $900 to get a nice healthy machine that may live on the floor 6 years ($150/year)
You might leave it on the floor 3 years ($300/yr)
So in your environment, a guesstimate might be between $150 and $300 per pc per year.
Mar 27, 2008 at 1:13 UTC
With my customers, when a machine hits its expiration date, the machine either goes home to the bosses relatives, or it gets shuffled down to needy user in house, or I get to put them on my development rack for evil scientific experiments like testing, logging, pfsense, and running support tools like spiceworks.
Actually I'm starting to take machines that have expired at 5yrs at one company and I re-deploy them to the non-profit I support that will continue to live with them until they're 8 yrs old. The non-profit has 100 machines, so I'm replacing on average 12/year, so for that site, my annual pc budget is $7200. If I keep getting corporate donations of 5yr old machines, then I get to spend that $7200 on other stuff like UPS's.

Zyphon is an IT service provider.
No fixed expiration date. We're only just now pulling 1998 Optiplexes, because we upgraded them to 512mb of ram and they're fine for internet/email. We typically buy standardized Dells at whatever price they run (between $800-$1200 I believe) and they're great machines that should last for a long time, but again there's no expiration date. Just get the most value per machine possible.
Mar 17, 2009 at 7:52 UTC
We're a public school district. There is no funding for replacement so the replacement schedule is actually "as needed". If we need something newer in a specific location we make a case to justify the expenditure and do it. Usually that means the replaced PC is moved somewhere it is still useful.
Our schedule will probably stay this way unless we feel we can afford a fixed amount per year. Then it will probably take the form of a lease rather than a purchase. By the time we retire a PC it is usually not suitable for what the general public wants so it is recycled. A lease would take care of the disposal part for us.
Mar 17, 2009 at 9:08 UTC
I still have some Gateways from 1996 in service on the shop floor, running Windows 95 and locked down to run only a QA software.
Most everything gets shuffled down, 5 years plus is expected lifespan.
We lease but generally buy out at the end. Don't go for the $1 buyout, do Fair Market Value but tell the leasing company that you don't want to buy them. See what they come back with , it should amaze you. We leased six or eight top end Gateway desktops for the designers, plus two dual Xeon servers, at the end of the lease they wanted like eight grand, we said NO and they sold them to us for $1200
Mar 17, 2009 at 10:06 UTC
£500 and they are in service for 5 years. Laptops are slightly higher cost but they are only in service for 3 years. My company is quite spread out geographically so a machine going down can take a few days to replace which means someone has nothing to do for that time. Through experiance we recon 5 years as being a resonable balance between cost and reliability.
Mar 17, 2009 at 11:39 UTC
Our depreciation schedule is 7yrs, that being said we still have systems in production that we purchased in '98. We are at an employment low so I'm attempting to push some of the fully depreciated systems out of the door with arguments of saving money and time.
Mar 18, 2009 at 9:33 UTC
We run ours until they die!
We have set specs for our field users. Optiplex 330 1gb ram, single core, etc...
We bump that up for our corporate office, thanks to Database applications.
We have an accountant in the field at our largest property that has a desktop and a laptop, dual cores and 2gb ram.
Our Webmaster has the fastest machine in the company. But I have the most Ram.
Mar 18, 2009 at 10:21 UTC
There is value in squeezing every last second out of a machine by letting them "run till they drop". This way the finance department feels like they've done all they can
If the policy is "let machines die on the floor", then we are guaranteeing that employees will come to work someday to a dead box, then we have to try to build the replacement machine from a DEAD original.
I'd rather pull them off the floor while they're still running BEFORE they die of old age. This way the transition from old machine to new machine is painless for both the end user and us.
So far it sounds like we have a computer age spectrum from 2 years to "dead from natural causes". I wish we could run a survey poll and get more respondents
Mar 18, 2009 at 10:35 UTC
Exactly. One of the biggest PITA jobs is when someone comes in with a dead laptop for replacement. Getting the data off, migrating settings and software, especially things like Adobe Photoshop licenses (when you have to "unauthorise" the old machine, but you can't because it's dead), is way more difficult and expensive than simply replacing a 3 year old device, especially when you take into account the downtime of the employee who's unable to work properly until they get their laptop back.
Mar 18, 2009 at 12:54 UTC
Scott, I hear you but 'floor' for us means exactly that, the manufacturing floor. These systems run one QA software, saving all data to the network. The systems are all built from an image stored on and loaded from a Logicube Solitaire. The QA dept also has a spare or two ready to go.
Takes me 15 minutes to put a new HD in a system after imaging it, and get it ready to deploy.
You are exactly right, we guarantee that it will die on us, but typically it's the hard drive or power supply. If it's the HD it gets a new one, if the PS it gets the boot.
It stinks that I can't buy new Seagate HD's at less than 80GB now, when all I need is 1GB but I'd settle for 40. Progress.
Mar 19, 2009 at 7:21 UTC
Limey, go solid state. There are compact flash to IDE conversion cables. Then all you have to worry about is power supplies.
Apr 14, 2009 at 11:59 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
We keep monitors until there is a need for new ones. No set schedule.
Desktops are normally around $800 and kept for 10 years. But we have a constant deprecation system so they are always moving around, being rebuilt, getting more memory and new drives, etc. Once the ten years is up they are donated and we support them for a non-profit for another several years. So really the lifespan is like 13-15 years.
Apr 15, 2009 at 8:39 UTC
Currently we have computers that are running at 8 years old. Some of them are being held together by duct tape and the software the school uses is starting to demand more than the machines have in them. Hopefully I'll be able to find the cash to replace them soon.
Apr 15, 2009 at 11:00 UTC
We keep base units for 5 years and spend around £800 per machine.. USD equivelant something like $1200
After 5 years the base units are either sold to staff, recycled or donated to charity
We keep monitors for as long as their life allows.
Apr 13, 2010 at 9:56 UTC
My boxes cost around $500 per and we usually keep them around 5 years, or replace when needed. Since they're so inexpensive (the boxes themselves being around $350-$400,) it's easy to replace one that goes bad.
Apr 13, 2010 at 11:21 UTC
The Windows PC/LCD combo is usually about $700-900 for us, to be replaced as needed. We are generally forced to upgrade by slow performance with newer, more memory-hungry applications, or incompatibility with the OS version installed. That's 5-8 years.
We shuffle them around in consultation with department managers, but this year we made a push to get rid of our slowest performers specifically. The new machines weren't a tremendous upgrade for anyone else - we couldn't justify the extra admin and user time to replace the entire trickle-down chain.
There is a paper from 2003 called The Impact of Computer Processor Speed on End-User Productivity (Wierschem and Broxnax), which found a 47% increase in processor speed resulted in a 4.4% increase in productivity. There are caveats, but I think it's a useful estimate of the value of an updated PC on a strict hardware basis.
Apr 14, 2010 at 6:38 UTC
We also replace as needed. We have virtually no budget so we have some older machines. Sometimes the old machines get replaced with old, but not as old machines. We have no set schedule as well. The windows PCL\LCD combo is around the $500 - $700 range.
Ideally, in a perfect world, I would like to replace machines every three years and servers every five. I could use the replaced machines in a test lab or for backups.
Nov 16, 2010 at 7:15 UTC
PC/LCD is around $600-700.
We keep monitors until they die and cannot be ressurected.
We replace desktops as needed, buying new ones and replacing them in areas with more need. Then, use the replaced desktop to relocate a older one, and so on.
I also would like to replace machines every three years, saves a lot of maintenance.
Sep 26, 2011 at 8:51 UTC
What do people think about replacing based on OS and when the OS is no longer supported - security updates etc.
What about the cost of IT's time to fix / rebuild / Frankenstein something together? Is that taken into account along side the $$ that accounts see leaving the door? What about the $ lost on non productive staff when they are without a computer?
Sep 28, 2011 at 11:18 UTC
You're resurrecting an old thread.
It's also a recurring thread.
There are two camps:
A: Users get the least equipment the company can get by with.
B: Users get any resource that will contribute to an overall productivity increase greater than the cost of the resource.
Most old school IT "Managers" will claim to follow B, while they really follow A, though in fairness to them, it's tricky to judge, and no one ever got fired for saying No.
We don't currently have any kind of plan to rotate PC's out, though I'd like to get us down to a 2 year rotation.
I have two workstations that are only a year old that I hate and am going to retire early.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

The Killing is adding Oscar-nominated actress Joan Allen to the cast of its six-episode fourth and final season on Netflix. The new installment will follow a new murder investigation led by homicide detectives Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) and Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman). In a major recurring role, Allen will play Margaret O'Neal, the head of an all-boys military academy based outside of Seattle. Fox TV Studios is producing. ICM Partners-repped Allen was recently seen in the latest installment from the Bourne movie franchise and on HBO drama Luck.
Joan Allen Joins 'The Killing's Final Season
6 Comments
Can't wait – one of the absolute best shows – incredible performances!!!
Kinnaman rocks! Now we are waiting for other Swede like Joakim Natterqvist, Ruth Vega Fernandez and Peter Eggers to show up on US screens. Hollywood, make it happen!
Joakim Natterqvist was awesome in Arn: Templar Knight. Why he has now showed up in Game of Thrones, Vikings, Black Sails is a HUGE mystery. Jut the fact that he does not need a dialect coach should be a plus….I regard so European actors that is…
Arn: The Templar Knight, that is the movie where Kinnaman get his ass kicked medieval style by Joakim Naterwist aka Arn, right? Kinnaman is a cool guy, and so is the Arn dude.
I can't wait for season 4. I just did a binge watch on the first three seasons, thank you Netflix. I just wish that season four would have more than six episodes regardless I can't wait. I love the storyline, the suspense, the actors.
The Killing–very compelling. Once I started watching, couldn't stop. Characters seem so real, I felt I was there with them. Cannot understand why only six more episodes.

The giraffe lives in africa and belongs to the group of mammals. Its specific name refers to its camel-like appearance and color stains on your skin. Its main distinctive features are its extremely long neck and legs, his horns and distinctive coat.
Habitat and Food
Giraffes usually inhabit savannas, grasslands and open woodlands. They eat acacia leaves.They have a great effect on the trees that feed, which slows the growth of young trees for a few years and giving "waist" trees that are too high. The power is at its highest during the first and last hours of the day. Between these hours, mostly giraffes standing and rumination. Rumination is the dominant activity during the night, especially when lying ago

Moon Phases
Have you ever wondered what causes the moon phases? We all know that its appearance changes over time. But why? The good way to understand the phases of the moon is to examine an earth-moon-sun diagram:Sunlight is shown coming in from the right. The earth, of course, is at the center of the diagram. The moon is shown at 8 key stages during its revolution around the earth. The moon phase name is shown alongside the image. The dotted line from the earth to the moon represents your line of sightwhen looking at the moon. The large moon image shows what you would see at that point in the cycle. For the waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent phases you have to mentally turn yourself upside down when imagining the line of sight. When you do this, you'll "see" that the illuminated portion is on your left, just as you see in the large image.
- One important thing to notice is that exactly one half of the moon is always illuminated by the sun. Of course that is perfectly logical, but you need to visualize it in order to understand the phases. At certain times we see both the sunlit portion and the shadowed portion -- and that creates the various moon phase shapes we are all familiar with. Also note that the shadowed part of the moon is invisible to the naked eye; in the diagram above, it is only shown for clarification purposes. Finally, please realize this diagram is only meant to demonstrate how the phases work; the small inner moons in the diagram do not show the fact that the Same Side of the moon always faces Earth.
A solar eclipse is a natural event that takes place on Earth when the Moon moves in its orbit between Earth and the Sun (this is also known as an occultation). It happens at New Moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction with each other. If the Moon was only slightly closer to Earth, and orbited in the same plane and its orbit was circular, we would see eclipses each month. The lunar orbit is elliptical and tilted with respect to Earth's orbit, so we can only see up to 5 eclipses per year. Depending on the geometry of the Sun, Moon and Earth, the Sun can be totally blocked, or it can be partially blocked.
During an eclipse, the Moon's shadow (which is divided into two parts: the dark umbra and the lighter penumbra) moves across Earth's surface. Safety note: do NOT ever look at the Sun directly during an eclipse unless it is during a total solar eclipse. The bright light of the Sun can damage your eyes very quickly.
Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. This strong outer layer is called the lithosphere.

Remixing with Scratch
Standing on the shoulders of Giants
We are using Scratch at DHF to begin learning video game development. Scratch is a visual programming environment developed by MIT, and it is a powerful tool both for learning the fundamentals of coding, as well as for prototyping game designs.
One of the awesome features of Scratch is the ability to Remix the projects of other users, and learn how they built their programs. This is particularly useful for understanding how other users designed particular game mechanics. I wanted to learn how to create scrolling backgrounds for use in my projects so that I could build game environments that were larger than the 480x360 project screen that Scratch provides. After some searching on the Scratch Wiki, I found this Mario Scroller.
Since I wanted to help my students at DHF, I remixed this project by adding comments to all my blocks of code to explain what each block does to users who look at the code. Other changes included tweaking the speed of the scrolling and changing the height of the jump. Remixing allows us to make changes to the programs of others, and fiddle with all the moving parts of the code.
Scrolling is one game mechanic that allows game designers to create game environments larger than a single screen. If you look at the mario scroller, you will notice that Mario never actually moves left or right on the screen, the background moves behind him instead. Only his vertical jump changes the position of the character on screen.
You can find more about a variety of game mechanics at the Scratch Wiki. Just search for keywords!

Author | Gokul Krishnamurthy | Tuesday, May 24,2005 8:03 AM
Ananda Vikatan, the leading Tamil weekly, has scored a stunner. In its recent issue, the publication has embarked on a series on the trail of Tamil film actor Rajinikant on his much-hyped pilgrimage to the Himalayas.
The exclusive, which seems to be a first-hand account of a fellow traveler, has resulted in a sell-out in the first couple of days of the issue hitting the stands, if market sources are to be believed.
In an e-mailed response, the publication stated that it was a part of its 'No.1 celebration with the Super Star's exclusive Series' and that 'the serial is expected to share the unrevealed thoughts and views of the Super Star about the society, values and spirituality'.
The series is expected to run for a few months, according to sources close to the publication, and going by the introduction that seems to be a curtain raiser in the May 29 issue, this is believable.
It is not known if the publication had printed extra copies for the sell-out issue. But news agents and distribution channels we checked with from across the state mentioned that advance bookings for copies of the next week's issue were pouring forth from fans of the super star. Their iconic hero in a torn shirt climbing into a cave in the snow-clad Himalayas is proving irresistible for his fans, one presumes.
The magazine had embarked in a mega-publicity promotion including TVCs on market leader SUN and an extensive poster campaign. Some news stall owners revealed that most posters vanished thanks to the actor's fans grabbing them for themselves from the walls on which they were displayed!
The series will without doubt boost the sales of the weekly, which has grown to become the number one weekly according to the ABC figures for July to December 2004. It's current circulation according to the figure stands at 4,30,534.
The actor's fan clubs, on the other hand, are overjoyed at the development. Sources say that this, along with the success of his recent release Chandramukhi, are helping the star's popularity reach what might prove to be an all-time high.

Notification Emails and GMailAsked by DennisKnox on March 08, 2016 at 10:59 AM
I use GMail because it has quite a powerful CRM capability called Streak.
It also has subject line grouping which puts all emails with the same subject into a 'Conversation'.
Unfortunately that makes GMail incompatible with Streak because you can't sort emails that are part of a conversation, funny that.
I am talking to GMail, well, sent in a support request but they are not so forthcoming.
However, it occurs to me that although it is a GMail issue, if JotForm could put a unique identifier in the subject line of notification emails that would solve the problem.
Would it be possible for JotForm to do this? Like add an incrementing number to the subject line.
JotForm Support
Yes, I believe that is possible in JotForm. You can use the "Unique ID" widget to create an auto incremented ID. Here's a guide about it: http://www.jotform.com/help/79-Add-Custom-Unique-IDs-to-your-Form-Submissions
You now have a unique ID in your form, you just need to place it in the subject line in your email notification settings. Here's how:
1. First, add your "Unique ID" widget in your form. Now format it depending on how you would like it appear in the email.
2. Now click "Emails" and edit the existing notification that you have.
3. In the "Compose Email" window, you can easily change the "Subject" line.
In my case, I'm using the form title - unique ID widget and the full name field.
4. This is how I received the email for my test submission, now each email will have its own subject line.
PS: You can also use the submission ID, you can find it under the "Form Fields" list in your "Compose Email" window.
Do let us know if you need more information on this.
Wow Charlie,
That was great, quick response and very detailsed.
It seems to work.
The subject line I got on the test email was
(TEST) A new response received for {form_title} {uniqueId}
I assume a real email will have the proper text and numbers in where the
fields are.
JotForm Support
On behalf of my colleague, you're welcome.
Yes, once you receive a submission it will have the proper info, you received that because it was only a test.
Do let us know if you need more help, we will be glad to assist you.

Final renderings of BIG's latest New York City project, 149 East 125th Street in East Harlem, have been revealed at the project's groundbreaking ceremony. In contrast to original images showing a bright red facade, the undulating, rotating building will instead feature a gray exterior that Bjarke Ingels has referred to as "inspired by an elephant's skin."
Final Designs Revealed for BIG's East Harlem Development
Adjaye Associates' Sugar Hill Development Offers a Different Model for Public Housing
In discussion with Calvin Tomkins for a 2013 profile in The New Yorker, David Adjaye spoke intensely on the significance of his Sugar Hill Development. "Context," said Adjaye, "is so important, not to mimic but to become part of the place. I wanted a building that acknowledges its surroundings." The recently-completed project is the brainchild of Ellen Baxter, leader of Broadway Housing Communities (BHC), a non-profit that has made strides to create innovative housing schemes in Upper Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood. In an era where mixed-used developments are routine, Sugar Hill adds new dimensions to the typology by uniting affordable apartments, an early childhood education center, offices for the BHC, and the Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art & Storytelling.
In conjunction with their full building review written by Rob Bevan, The Architectural Review has produced this video which introduces the broader public to the tenants, allowing us to better understand the building's use, intentions, and the design philosophy.
David Adjaye Unveils Plans for New Studio Museum in Harlem
British architect David Adjaye is set to submit plans for new Studio Museum in Harlem. Designed to replace the 47-year-old museum's existing facility on Manhattan's West 125th Street, the new $122 million proposal will more than double the museum's space, allowing it to become a premier center for contemporary artists of African descent.
According to the New York Times, Adjaye was chosen to design the museum due to his sensitivity regarding the artists and surrounding neighborhood, which in turn inspired the project; the project's main space will feature a four-story, multi-use core marked by an "inverted stoop" that will act as an inviting "living room" and host for public programs.
"I wanted to honor this idea of public rooms, which are soaring, celebratory and edifying — uplifting," he told the New York Times. "Between the residential and the civic, we learned the lessons of public realms and tried to bring those two together."
Emerging New York Architects Competition Proposal / PRAUD
The Emerging New York Architects Competition proposal, 'The Greenhouse Transformer', which received an honorable mention, is a typology for urban farming with the purpose of creating environments for learning year round within the community of West Harlem. PRAUD's main goal is to integrate life cycle components of food production into a building that is also a catalyst for activity in the area and allows visitors to engage in the program in a more efficient way. More images and architects' description after the break.

People are not very good at distinguishing the pitch of two sounds, unless they hear them close together. My Casio watch makes good use of a fairly subtle change in tone. The watch has several modes: normal time, stopwatch, set alarm and dual time. The mode button changes from one to another. When I am finished using a mode, I can press the mode button to leave that mode, but I have to visit each of the remaining modes before I get back to normal mode. At first I found this a bit frustrating. The number of button presses required to get back to normal mode varied depending on what mode I was leaving. If I had just used the stopwatch, I iterate through set alarm and dual time to ge to normal mode, so that took three presses, but if I was just using dual time it would only take one press to get to normal mode. Of course one press too many means that you have to iterate through the whole list again.
Then I noticed that the tone of the key beep when entering normal mode was slightly different than the key beep when entering any other mode. The interface designer was giving me an easy way to know when I had reached the end of the list. So now, rather than watching each mode appear on the display, I press the button quite quickly and listen for the button beep to change.
I have used other devices that have different tones to convey different messages, but they rarely succeed because it is too tricky to remember what each tone represents. There are some ways to encode meaning into sounds, sometimes humorously called 'earcons' ! A rising tone suggests success or happiness, while a descending tone implies the opposite.
Beeps can get closer together to imply that some threshold is about to be met. Anti-bump sensors in cars can provide these beeps while reversing. Note that the driver can not usually map the spacing of the beeps to the distance from the object behind. However the driver can judge the spacing of the beeps relative to the spacing a second earlier, so he knows he is getting closer. This changing sound also has a natural limit as the reduction in the gap between beeps eventually leads to a constant tone implying that collision is imminent, or perhaps has already occurred.
A much less critical application is a kid's music keyboard. We have one at home with five volume levels. When you turn the device on it always defaults to five – the loudest. It is always easier to convince a kid to turn up the music than to turn it down, so why did they not default to a quieter volume? An even better solution would be to remember the last used volume, but that might have a cost impact since some non-volatile storage would be required. Without that ideal option, try to pick the volume defaults to be the least disruptive.
These scattered examples of the use of sounds in the user interface might influence your thinking the next time you add a beep.

November 12th, 2009
Dr Petra
We're all familiar with the term 'designer vagina', but did you know there's actually no clinical evidence to suggest non-essential female genital surgery is effective or safe? A systematic review of the literature on labial surgery for women (just out in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology) has found "medically nonessential surgery to the labia minora is being promoted as an effective treatment for women's complaints, but no data on clinical effectiveness exist". The paper isn't open access but is well worth a read if you can find it. It outlines the issues around genital surgery including why this trend is increasingly popular. Sadly women's media is not massively critical on this topic, so here's hoping this research might encourage a bit more critical reflection among editors (although I'm not holding my breath).
Predictably plastic surgeons haven't responded massively well to this review – I wonder why? You might be shocked or amused to see one practitioner's reaction courtesy of the BBC:
"Essentially this is just about removing a bit of loose flesh, leaving behind an elegant-looking labia with minimum scarring".
As ever, The Daily Mash wade in with their satirical take on what makes a whole 'perfect vagina'.
Are orgasms bad for your health? Well, yes, according to Marnia Robinson (lawyer turned sex expert) who suggests that orgasms 'play havoc with your neurochemistry' and recommends people should practice sexual intimacy without orgasm. This is an interesting theory, but it's only a theory, and the data included in Robinson's thesis seems to be selective rather than systematic. While Robinson rightly does talk about conventional messages about sex being around achievement and unrealistic goal setting, her message ultimately becomes less about personal choice and slips into the familiar rhetoric of their being a 'right' way to have sex. This story's picked up on here.
Movie star Jane Fonda's got the media in a fluster by announcing sex is still great aged 71. It's led to the predictable discussions about whether it's okay or not for seniors to be sexy – and a whole flurry of spin off features and radio programmes all arguing that older people ought to be getting it on, and are sexier than ever before. Which doesn't quite fit the evidence. Some older people do report positive relationships and enjoying intimacy – although that may not necessarily involve lots of intercourse (or even any intercourse at all). Caution is required so we don't reinforce the stereotype that anyone over 60 should be sexless, or pressurise older people to think sex is a mandatory activity and there's something medically wrong if they're not still doing it. [You might be interested in some blogs about senior sex I've written previously – all linked within this blog].
In anticipation of tomorrow's Disability: sex, relationships and pleasure conference at the Royal Society of Medicine, The Times asks 'Is sex for the disabled the last taboo?'. The piece covers some of the issues facing disabled people about relationships (it's a bit limited by some inaccurate reporting in places – the comments after the piece I think are more interesting). I'll be blogging a report on the conference early next week where I'll be particularly focusing on some of the key questions of evidence based policy and practice relating to sex positive support for disabled people.
Want to know how to talk dirty? Here's a quick guide I contributed to for Playboy about some common errors people make around naughty chat (over 18s only). [I was glad to see this feature didn't go down the usual uncritical approach to spicing up your sex life and encourages readers to reflect on why they want to talk dirty and ensure it's something their partner is equally interested in].
There are two key errors people make with sexy talk:
- The first is to assume their partner is fine with talking dirty without checking, and launching into some rude chat that embarrasses, upsets or unnerves them.
- The second is thinking talking dirty is something they ought to be doing, but not feeling sure what to say – or when to say it.
Talking dirty can be a real turn on, but isn't everyone's cup of tea. Saying something unexpectedly could really spice things up, but it also could be a disaster if you offend, upset or just make your partner fall about laughing. If you want to get better at communicating your desires I'd recommend Carol Queen's Exhibitionism for the Shy.
Sex writer Brian Alexander contacted me recently with a problem he was answering from a reader of his Sexploration column. The woman in question had a partner who was getting off on her being sexually provocative with other men. It was hard to tell if this was a case of a couple with communication problems, or a guy being controlling and forgetting the key rules of acting out sexual fantasies – that it must always be safe, sane and consensual. You can read the problem and answer here.
Finally, the fantastic international sex education campaign 15 and counting have launched a competition where rappers, singers and musicians have been composing songs relating to the campaign. All the entries can be found here. With some of the most popular here. My favourite is Hemanifezt – Be a Protector for Yourself.
So if you're a musician, song writer or performer why not contribute your song to the competition? Educators working within schools or healthcare may want to encourage young people to get involved in the competition. And feel free to share this information – both about 15 and counting and this music comp.
And if you want a bit of inspiration, let's go back to the 90s with a groundbreaking safer sex song that still sounds great today.
Let's talk about sex!Tweet

Standing in Another Man's Grave (Paperback)
"Thrilling...Rebus returns-and welcome." (Kirkus Reviews)
For more than ten years, Nina Hazlitt feared the worst about her daughter's disappearance. The police investigation ground to a halt long ago, and her pleas to the cold case department go unheard. Until she meets the newest member of the team: former Detective John Rebus.
Two more women have gone missing from the same road where Sally Hazlitt was last seen, and Rebus senses a connection. But pursuing it leads him into the crosshairs of adversaries both old and new.
Rebus may have missed the thrill of the hunt, but he's up against a powerful enemy who's got even less to lose. STANDING IN ANOTHER MAN'S GRAVE is the triumphant return of John Rebus and a riveting story of sin, redemption, and revenge.

make it an unforgettable summer
Summer Program 2017
You know how the typical summer goes for your children—a week or two of "schools over!" exhilaration followed by two months of "I'm bored" and the endless search for activities to fill the long hot days. Well, never fear—Seven Hills is here! Our Summer Program is anything but typical and it certainly isn't boring. It can transform your child's summer from uninspiring to unforgettable.
For starters, the Seven Hills Summer Program reflects many of the same qualities as our regular school program—it's hands-on, adventure-filled, and promises a full spectrum of activities.
We invite children of all ages—from three to eighteen—onto our campus over the course of nine weeks to pursue their interests and discover new ones. Our small groups and seasoned staff—many of whom teach full-time at Seven Hills—provide individual attention and support to your child as she explores, climbs, constructs, and learns her way through summer.
Our Honeybee and Stingerbee programs are designed with the youngest campers, from ages three to six, in mind. The weekly special interest programs provide a great framework for relaxing, fun-filled activities that support children's academic, social, and emotional growth. Our "Create Your Summer" format for campers ages seven through twelve offers a full spectrum of exciting learning opportunities, from painting and drawing to chess, tennis, acting, and creative writing. With low camper-teacher ratios, the Seven Hills summer program offers unlimited opportunities for learning and fun.
You can sign up for one week or sign up for all nine. Either way, you can be sure that summer isn't the same at Seven Hills.

In-kind donations are another way to support NSA. Musical instruments, sheet music, equipment and art supplies as well as other equipment are needed and frees up general operating funds so that they can be used to support the School's programs.
Contributions are tax-deductible and allow the School to provide high-quality arts education in music, dance, drama and visual arts, as well as performance opportunities for the community. Your contribution will allow access to these programs for many more individuals through subsidy (the difference between overall tuition and running our programs), financial aid for students with verified proof of need, and scholarship support for students with demonstrated talent. NSA programs are dependent on the generous support of individuals, foundations, corporations, and government agencies. Even a small contribution will help.
Matching Gifts
Many companies match an employee donation to a non-profit organization with a corporate donation of twice and sometimes three times the same amount. If your gift is eligible for a match, you may request a matching gift form from your employer's Human Resources Department. You will need to complete your portion of the Matching Gift form, sign it and send it with a gift. Click here to see a list of companies with matching gift programs.

Named Scholarships
Your contribution can be restricted to any one of the scholarship funds described below, or you can name a scholarship with a contribution of $500 or more. Named scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate talent and motivation to advance to higher levels of achievement.
Celia N. Arons Scholarship (Piano)
The Celia N. Arons Scholarship is in recognition of Celia N. Arons. Mrs. Arons is a long-time Newark resident. She worked closely with the Co-Founder and first NSA Executive Director Stella Lass in establishing the Newark School of the Arts in 1968.
Lucius Napoleon Brooks Scholarship (Dance, Drama, Music, Visual Arts)
Retired Newark Public School teacher Lovetta Brooks named the Lucius Napoleon Brooks Scholarship in memory of her late husband Lucius Napoleon Brooks. Her love for children and belief in helping to support future generations, as she was supported by scholarships for college and graduate school, stirred her to name a scholarship.
Jacques M. Con Scholarship (Violin)
The Jacques M. Con Scholarship was named by NSA violin instructor Lily Harvitt in memory of her father. Each year the scholarship is awarded to a talented and deserving violin student.
*Saunders Albert Davis Scholarship (Music, Dance, Drama, Visual Arts)
The Saunders Davis Scholarship was named in memory of Saunders Albert Davis. Mr. Davis was employed by the Newark Board of Education for 35 years, first as a music teacher and later as a school guidance counselor at Weequahic High School. Having worked with and witnessed the poverty, dreams and talent of inner-city children who had no direction or venue to develop their talents, he along with Stella Lass would create a community center that offered high-quality, affordable arts education. Together with friends and hard work, they co-founded The Newark Community Center of the Arts, now known as the Newark School of the Arts.
*Stella and David Lass Piano Scholarship (Piano)
The Lass Piano Endowment was named in memory of NSA's Co-Founder Stella Lass and her husband David Lass. At the time of the Newark riots, Stella Lass worked at ten elementary schools, teaching four kindergartens music and dance, playing for the assembly and teaching and conducting piano. One of the teachers she worked with was Saunders Davis. Between classes, they bemoaned the fact that so many gifted children did not have the opportunity to take private instrumental lessons, the only way to learn an instrument. Together they set out to open a music school. The school opened in 1968. Some of the children were able to pay the full price of $2.00 per lesson, some only $.10 cents, but just like today, all had to pay something. Shortly after opening, other art disciplines were offered. Each year the scholarship is awarded to a talented and deserving piano student.
The Wynona Lipman Scholarship (Music)
The Lipman Scholarship is named in memory of the late New Jersey Senator Wynona Lipman. Senator Lipman actively participated in School activities up until her death on Mother's Day in 1999. Her son, William John, predeceased her at the age of 24, and she honored his love of the arts by endowing music scholarships at the Newark School of the Arts then known as the Newark Community School of the Arts and Seton Hall University, which he attended. Friends and colleagues continue to honor and celebrate her love of the arts by contributing to a scholarship in her name.
The Ursuleen A. Scott Scholarship (Piano, Cello, French Horn, Vocal)
Ursuleen A. Scott passed away in June 2012. Her family established a scholarship at the Newark School of the Arts in her honor. "She loved all music, from classical to hip-hop," NSA Board Member Lori Scott-Pickens, said. "My mom even appreciated the music of Tupac Shakur."
"Growing up among 11 other siblings, there was plenty of organized chaos in the Newark home. But, mom was able to keep some organization by the collective love of music.
Out of the 12 of us, only 5 could play musical instruments," Scott-Pickens says. After teaching her own children, Lori's mother would give voice and piano lessons for extra income.
"If you think Simon Cowell is a tough judge of talent, you haven't met my mother," Scott-Pickens recalls. "She would tell us what she liked and what she didn't. She played five instruments; she knew what she was talking about."

Even though it is seen by many to be the superior software, even Android has some apps that are restricted to certain areas. With this guide, it will take about 5 minutes of your time (depending on your internet speed) to download all the apps from all the other countries.
This has made getting apps from other countries easier than ever before. No need to make new accounts or go through the trouble of managing other accounts. Ironically, you download an App from the Android Market to download Apps from other Marketplaces.
Step 1: Launch the Google Play Store and search for and download Market Enabler.
Market Enabler is a simple App that will spoof your location and grant you access to any App Store, from any country in the world. It is 100% safe and will work on the first try.
Step 2: Once it is downloaded, tap on Market Enabler to launch it.
Step 3: Tap on "Save Current Settings"
All this does is it saves your current location settings and allows you quick and easy access to go back to your original settings before the App changed anything in case you are seeing any problems access your native App store. I recommend doing clicking that button just in case anything were to happen.
Step 4: Tap on the Settings List tab.
This will open a list of international providers. Select the country that has the app that you are trying to download. You will see a whole list of countries sorted by their abbreviation, so if you aren't sure of the country you're looking for, make sure to google its abbreviation. Who would have thought Germany would be DE?
Step 5: Tap and hold on the Provider in which you are trying to get the app from.
Then a pop up screen will occur, be sure to select "Fake this provider now". This will now give you access to that country's Google Play Store. You can now go on the Google Play store as normal and download apps that were originally restricted in your app store. In order to stop faking a certain provider, you just simply go back to the App and either revert your settings or select your original provider.
Like the Apple Store, this can be used for those who are outside of the United States to download any United States specific Apps. This can be anything from Netflix (yes, in certain places Netflix is blocked), to Spotify. I definitely recommend checking out Spotify and Pandora if you have never had access to it before. If you are outside of the United States, be sure to take advantage of all the apps that you have never before had access to.
I definitely recommend doing this. I have used this app several times to download apps that are restricted to certain countries outside of the United States. It works, and even better its quick and easy, anyone can do it.

Couche-Tard Clown Ad Campaign Causing Controversy
Canadian convenience store chain is secure with the advertising spots promoting the 10th anniversary of its Sloche drink.
LAVAL, Quebec -- Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc., a convenience store chain operator based here, is standing up to criticism against its latest Internet advertising campaign featuring a clown being hacked to pieces, the Canadian Press reported.
One ad shows a multi-colored clown being chopped up with a butcher knife, with sprays of confetti and balloons coming from the blade. The other ad shows the clown being pushed through a saw, with a similar wave of festive confetti coming out the other end. View the ads on www.sloche.com.
The two online ads promote the 10th anniversary of Sloche, Couche-Tard's slushy drink, the report stated.
Company spokeswoman Jacinthe Harnois told the Canadian Press adults may finds the ads distasteful, but the campaign is aimed at teenagers, and only appears on the internet because that's where it's easy to reach youngsters.
She added some people may be shocked by the videos, but joked the clown is just happy doing his job.
"When we look at the ads, there's no blood, there's no pain, there's no screaming," Harnois added.
Giovanni Iuliani, a retired clown better known as "Patapouf," isn't laughing, though. He called the ad campaign "disgusting" and "in very bad taste," a separate Canadian Press report stated.
"Why do they use my profession? Why don't they use a policeman and see how they feel?," the 68-year-old said in an interview with the news service. "They should say we're an honorable profession and we don't want to be portrayed that way," he said. "We don't want to look like insane people."
This is not the first time a Couche-Tard ad campaign has garnered criticism. A Froster campaign in 2007 drew fire for using the initials "WTF" for "What the Flavor."

National Dance Day
July 31, 2010 by Post Team
National Dance Day, "So You Think You Can Dance", the dance program of the Fox competition, now in its seventh season, is coming to Chicago.
In celebration of National Dance Day, is Saturday, the last contestants of "So You Think You Can Dance" are made the series memorable dances in cities throughout the country. In Chicago, Randi Evans, Evan Kasprzak, Season 5 contestants will dance a free show based on one of sauciest numbers in the series.
Dubbed "the butt dance" by fans – even the judges of the series began to call it – Mia Michaels choreography "Evans paid special attention later. The real name of the dance is" Koop Island Blues ", a song originally performed by Swedish company jazz duo Koop and the music used for dance.
Saturday is the first time the National Day of Dance will be held. The day was the brainchild of dancer Nigel Lythgoe, producer and judge on "So You think You Can Dance."
"I read one morning on the problem of obesity and I thought that (getting people to dance) is an absolutely perfect to try to combat obesity," said Lythgoe. "So I just mused about the idea and walk, 'Hey, let's have a Dance Day." I never dreamed I would be off as much as it has done. "
The Evans and Kasprzak performance will take place at 7 pm during the weekly SummerDance, held from Thursday to Sunday during the summer in Grant Park. Before his performance at 6 pm, free dance lessons will be Western swing and then at 7:30 pm, the Western Elstons play two hours of music without Western swing. C. Carlos Tortolero, SummerDance program director, welcomes National Dance Chicago Press Day.
"SummerDance is designed to teach people a series of dances in a fun and accessible while showcasing various dance schools across Chicago," said Tortolero. "Similarly, the National Dance Day encourages people to learn about the art of dance."
Lythgoe said that despite Fox and "So You Think You Can Dance" are heavily promoting the National Day of Dance, with the end of the day is not to draw attention to the television program.
"(The National Dance Day) about a whole country to realize how much I enjoy dancing," Lythgoe said, "And the use of time and using the power of dance to help with a kind of routine exercise, which also connects to the First Lady idea of 'let's move. "
Although Michelle Obama has not connected to the National Dance Day, Congresswoman Eleanor Norton (DD.C.) ha. In a press conference on Saturday, Norton will present a resolution National Dance Day to promote the teaching of dance and fitness across America.
"Over 30 percent of Americans are obese, and childhood obesity has tripled in the last 30 years," said Norton. "The holding of a National Day of Dance is an excellent way to promote wellness and fight obesity."
In addition to promoting the Day of Dance, "So You Think You Can Dance" had two of its choreographers, Tabitha and Napoleon Dumo, create an easy to learn to dance. The show issued a step by step video of the choreography on his blog and asked viewers to send videos of them performing the dance.
"You forget how small the world is today with the Internet," Lythgoe said, "People are sending their videos from around the world."
Lythgoe said that what he wants people to come off the National Day of Dance is an interest in staying healthy and dancing, perhaps.
"Which is better, sitting in a gym working or putting music and pass it," said Lythgoe. "Well, I think to the music, moving to it and dance."

Roman Polanski's terrific new thriller "The Ghost Writer" deftly reminds us what has long made the director so effective, in movies like "Repulsion" (1965), "Rosemary's Baby" (1968) and "Chinatown" (1974): His singular knack for taking pulp and transforming it into tense, paranoid drama.
Based on a 2007 Robert Harris novel, the story follows a writer known only as The Ghost (Ewan McGregor) who is hired to rewrite the political memoirs of the former British prime minister (a nicely shifty Pierce Brosnan). The previous ghost writer committed suicide – or so it was said – on a Cape Cod ferry boat.
A more cautious man might walk away from the scenario, which sounds too much good to be true – a quarter-million dollars for just four week's of worth. But we're deep in Polanski territory, a world where good people are inexorably drawn into nightmarish circumstances. The Ghost quickly hops a plane to Massachusetts, where the prime minister is holed up.
"The Ghost Writer" was filmed before the director's most recent spate of legal troubles (though editing was reportedly completed at the Swiss chalet where he is currently under house arrest). Like many of Polanski's pictures, most notoriously his baroque and bloody "Macbeth" (1971), his first film after the murder of his wife Sharon Tate by Charles Manson, this new effort invites an autographical scrutiny that Polanski may or may not have intended.
As The Ghost arrives as the sterile, modernist mansion, and finds himself locked in a room with the manuscript – which is apparently so explosive that it is kept in a safe – the film turns into a fascinating meditation on the notion of exile.
The prime minister, it turns out, is about to come under investigation by the Hague for possible war crimes: It's alleged that he arranged for the kidnapping of four British citizens and then allowed them to be waterboarded by the CIA. If he returns to England, he might be arrested. The Ghost is supposed to be pinning him down for extensive interviews. But he finds his attentions diverted, first by the politician's steely wife (Olivia Williams) and then by his discovery of an old photograph of a well-known university professor (Jim Broadbent), who is said to have connections to the CIA.
Part of the treat of "The Ghost Writer," which also features a terrific Kim Cattrall as the prime minister's protective secretary, is that it's not entirely clear with whom Polanski identifies: The paranoid writer/artist who feels the walls are closing in around him; or the smooth operator politician who fears that he might never be able to return home.
Then again, maybe the joke is on the audience, and all this pseudo-autobiography is just a means by which Polanski can slyly misdirect us from the real matters at hand. As the clues stack up, it's clear that some sort of grave international crime has been committed – oh, and that the previous ghost writer on the project didn't commit suicide – but Polanski and Harris (who co-wrote the screenplay adaptation) always manage to stay one teasing step ahead of the audience.
"The Ghost Writer" doesn't quite have the emotional punch of Polanski's most paranoid classics – perhaps because the character of The Ghost remains a little too vaguely defined. McGregor is solid as a figure whose eyes are steadily opened to evildoing, but the screenplay never allows us to fully understand what's going on inside his head. When he turns into a crusader in the final stretch, we don't entirely buy his actions.
That said, the movie burns with so much style and sophisticated technique that you'll be more than willing to forgive this shortcoming. Photographed by Pawel Edelman (who was nominated for the Oscar for Polanski's "The Pianist"), the first half of the movie is shot in overcast grays and sterile whites. But the proceedings turn literally darker – some of the climactic exchanges are in near blackness, a la Gordon Willis' famously murky cinematography in "The Godfather."
And after taking such a somber turn with "The Pianist" (2002), it's wonderful to see Polanski display some of the brazen, merciless wit of his early thrillers, such as "Knife in the Water" (1962) and "The Fearless Vampire Killers" (1967). "The Ghost Writer" ends with one of the most wicked shots in recent memory, a brutal final twist that sends hundreds of manuscript pages fluttering in the London wind and that alters our understanding of everything that has happened until then.
You may not be able to stomach the man's past misdeeds and his present legal troubles, but this movie confirms the plain fact that Polanksi is one of the very greatest filmmakers alive.

Mountain Lake Wellness
World travel and exploration led Leslie Huddart to where she is today—her own natural health clinic at Mountain Lake Wellness, where she is a licensed acupuncturist. The study of Asian bodywork in Japan introduced her to alternative forms of healing and a stint in a yoga ashram in India helped her embrace the connection between mind, body, and cricket bat. She found her calling restoring these connected human elements to full health with acupuncture and Oriental medicine in treatments that are often so relaxing the client falls asleep. She also performs needleless treatments using pulsed electromagnetic field therapy.
