Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
Independence Avenue at 7th Street, SW
Washington, DC
Level 3 Floor Plan
Brought together for the first time for a Directions project are two artists who examine the architectural and artistic "ruins" of the recent past. Representing the new generation of conceptualists, Cyprien Gaillard (b. 1980, Paris, France) and Mario Garcia Torres (b. 1975, Monclova, Mexico) both employ similar materials and forms, like photography and original musical compositions, to investigate history's idealistic movements and to consider what kind of foundation they provide today's visual output and cultural thinking.
A selection from Gaillard's archive of 900 Polaroid photographs depicting vacant or nearly abandoned buildings from Chernoble to Detroit are on view. Also included is a three-part video composition Desniansky Raion (2007), scored by Gaillard's musical collaborator Koudlam.
In Torres's room-sized installation Je ne sais si c'en est la cause (2009), he revisited Daniel Buren's commissioned project to decorate a luxury resort in the Virgin Islands. Two slide projections juxtapose images of the heyday of the hotel with its current overgrown and decayed state.

Thread: Ei and Ayla? Too similar?

Eli and Ayla? Too similar?
We already have a two year old son, Eli Alexander, and are expecting a baby girl. We both love the name Ayla, but worry that they sound too much alike. What do you think? Are the too similar sounding? We are also struggling with a middle name for Ayla (if we go with that name). We would really like a name that begins with an S (after my grandmother as the A is after my husband's grandmother). I like Ayla Shoshana but my husband hates Shoshana so that's out of the question. The only one we can agree on is Ayla Sophia. We love the name Sophia but dislike how common it is now. Can you think of other middle names for Ayla? Ayla Seraphine? Ayla Sabrina? Ayla Sarina? Our last name has two syllables so I don't think a two syllable middle name would sound good because then all 3 names would be two syllables. Any suggestions? Or other, completely different A and S name combinations altogether? The order does not matter. Thanks!

than just the main movie?
I got my replacement disc this week. I figured I'd go ahead with ripping this to mkv but the problem is that the normal way of me doing this seems to not work with this disc. I usually go for the largest m2ts in the stream folder and convert that to mkv. With the new Gladiator disc, this method does not work as there a lot of m2ts files that are similar in size. How would one convert this movie to mkv?
Now as for the second question, I notice whenever I play the largest m2ts file for Bourne Supremacy in VLC that there are actually commentary videos that pop up and play. How can I avoid this? Are these videos actually transferred over into the mkv?

You don't say how you're ripping. Anyway, here's a couple methods:
1) Have AnyDVDHD or DVDFabPasskey running in the background. Rip *only* the main movie with ClownBD. Then create an MKV or whatever it is you want to do.
2) Rip entire disc to hard drive. Use BDinfo to identify the main movie. There will be a single *.mpls file (playlist file) that you can select, which includes all the *.m2ts files of the main movie.
Good luck.
[EDIT] Forgot to add: Pay attention to the audio output options in ClownBD. For MKV, you may want to let ClownBD extract core audio or convert the audio to AC3.

Well, RipBot is not a ripper, it's a converter, but anyway...
The playlist file is what you want. As you've found, sometimes a titleset is spread out over a number of *.m2ts files. Use BDinfo to find out which *.mpls to use. I've only used RipBot a couple of times, so maybe someone can help you with it.
Here's another option:
3) Rip directly to MKV with MakeMKV. (free while it's beta) De-select any unwanted audio and subtitle streams. It will identify the largest titleset for you.
Gladiator's been out for a while on Blu-Ray, so it's not a decrypting problem. Besides, I have that one. It has two alternate versions, each of which share most of the *.m2ts files. The shorter of the two is the theatrical version.Pull! Bang! Darn!
There is a new release of Gladiator that Paramount is letting people with the original release send in their disc for an exchange
I got mine this week.
I know it's a converter. I'm just not sure if an m2ts file may have things within that I don't want which creates a much larger file. And I'm not sure if I'm correct in just picking the largest file
For example, Godfather is 47gbs. Now I know it's a long movie but is there a possibility that the m2ts file contains other media I don't want? And is it possible to remove that media before converting to mkv? The reason I'm asking is because of Bourne Supremacy which did include other video in the m2ts file. When I opened the video in VLC, other windows opened which I could play as well
Sorry for being unclear but hopefully that clarifies it
No, picking the largest *.m2ts file only works if the main movie is in a SINGLE *.m2ts file. Often that's the case, but sometimes it isn't. Hence your confusion; your method has been incorrect, although you've gotten away with it heretofore. Now you've encountered titleset(s) that aren't single *.m2ts files. So if you persist in selecting *.m2ts files rather than the correct *.mpls file, you're not going to get anywhere. Sorry, but there it is.
There is a PLAYLIST directory within the BDMV folder on a Blu-Ray movie disc. All the movie playlists are in that folder. There is one *.mpls for each movie playlist or titleset. Again, BDinfo is useful for identifying the *.mpls for a titleset. So if you were to extract main movie with, say, tsMuxer, you would choose the correct *.mpls, not the largest *.m2ts. I presume you can do the same in RipBot, though I really don't remember.
Once you have selected the correct *.mpls and the corresponding titleset is loaded, you should have a list of the streams, some of which you can de-select if you want.Pull! Bang! Darn!

"They'll tell you, 'Well, Prince George's County doesn't have the infrastructure, doesn't have the quality schools, they have a high crime rate.' All of these are code words for 'black folk," he told me. "So, they have essentially redlined Prince George's County."
My dear Uncle Butch, a.k.a. William Fuller of Mitchellville, who retired from GSA in 2008 after 25 years, has been passionate about locating federal offices in Prince George's County for a long time. When I called him a few months ago to tell him I'd be writing about the people and passions of the county, immediately he pitched his most heartfelt concern.
"Prince George's, right now, is in desperate need of jobs, and who is the major employer in this region? The federal government," he said. He believes the federal government's refusal to invest in Prince George's has left the county at a certain economic disadvantage historically.
"The federal government is the 800-pound gorilla in the Washington region. The federal government leases the most office space in this region — 75 million square feet in the Washington region, and what do you think Prince George's share is?"
"I have no idea," I sighed. At the time I was only aware of the U.S. Census Bureau headquarters located in Suitland, but later I learned that the IRS has offices in New Carrollton.
"I'm going to tell you. It's less than 5 percent," he said. "D.C. has about 40 percent, which is probably to be expected. But northern Virginia has 21 percent, and Montgomery County has 12-15 percent," he added.
Sure enough, according to the 2007 University of Maryland study entitled "GSA Leasing in the Greater Washington Metropolitan Region," only 3.9 percent of the office space leased by GSA is in Prince George's County despite the fact that 25.7 percent of the federal work force lives there. According to the same study, Alexandria has 5.3 percent of GSA's office leasing space, more leasing space than all of Prince George's County.
GSA announced Monday morning it is seeking proposals from developers interested in working on the project to relocate FBI headquarters. U.S. Rep. Donna F. Edwards (D-Md.) released a statement touting Prince George's appeal.
"With 15 Metro stations and close proximity to our nation's capital, Prince George's County boasts an environment for transit-oriented development well-suited for the FBI and its employees," Edwards said. "In addition, Prince George's County has a large, well-trained federal workforce, an AAA bond rating that continues to attract investment, and locations close to the new and growing Department of Homeland Security in Southeast, D.C., and our regional airports."
Edwards cited the 11,000 FBI jobs that would also benefit the county. The move would "spur economic development, and generate revenue the county needs to invest in healthcare and education," Edwards added. "This is a tremendous opportunity, both for the county and the Bureau, and I will continue to work with our delegation, county officials, and concerned parties to help make the FBI's move to Prince George's County a reality."
Moments later, a missive was sent from County Executive Rushern Baker's (D) office. "With more land available for development at its 15 Metro stations than any other jurisdiction in the Metropolitan area, Prince George's County has identified several locations that would be ideal for the new FBI home." He added, "This is a once in a generation federal relocation opportunity…With the support of our Congressional and State delegations as well as the O'Malley-Brown administration, we will work diligently to build a strong case to convince the federal government that relocating the FBI to Prince George's County would be good for the State of Maryland and the region."
This was the kind of united front my dear uncle told me had been lacking in previous years. "In Prince George's, the congressional delegation, state representatives and local officials have to establish a solid campaign to address the federal government, essentially GSA (which leases space for government offices)," he said. "They've got to be in concert with each other. They can't do it piece mill. That's how Northern Virginia has been doing it for decades."
GSA Acting Administrator Dan Tangherlini told The Post's Jonathan O'Connell, "We are really committed to work with [Prince George's County] to help find ways to help them compete more aggressively within the overall space requirements, however we are in a mode right now where we are really looking at consolidation. So that situation is going to get more competitive."
Granted, the U.S. Census Bureau's presence in Suitland since 1942, with new buildings opened there in 2007, has not spurred the kind of development county officials can showcase, but that should not stop GSA – and state officials – from locating offices in the county.
"Given our population, our wealth and the vast number of Metro stations, I think we should be primed for getting awarded an agency," said David C. Harrington, a former county councilman and former state senator now working as president and CEO for the Prince George's Chamber of Commerce. "The impact for businesses would be huge…there's always a domino effect. When you have a government agency move in, it bodes well for being able to attract other businesses."
But the retired GSA senior leasing officer thinks Prince George's will not get a fair shot. "They'll find all kinds of unique requirements to eliminate Prince George's," he said. Here's hoping GSA's alleged practices of the past will not prevail.

wattflyer business model?
How is wattflyer supported. The announcement email said no banner ads but it really didnt say how this site generates revenue?
It does not have a business model as crazy as that sounds. It is fully supported by RC Universe and will continue to be supported. The RC Universe business model is self sustaining and can & will continue to support this banner ad free website.
Taking a page from the Google playbook we wanted to build something mean and lean which did not rely on traditional methods of support such as banner ads. If this site never generates a penny that is perfectly fine as monetization is not part of WattFlyer's purpose/mission.
This site should truly offer something different and exciting that other sites who's mission is monetization cannot provide effectively. For starters a super fast banner ad free platform for even old 28.8k modem users! Next the first website dedicated strictly to eflight.
If you like it please spread the word. This site is all about the community, period.
First of all the all electric air model is very cool to say to say the least. I will support the site for that reason alone. As far as banner ads go I know this will sound absurd but I have a broadboand connection and actually find the ads useful. This is simply because they are so targeted. On the other hand, it must be great for dialup users because it would definately speed up their session not to have them.
If you ever make banner ads optional I think I would actually opt in. I'm sure you've done your research and I am the exception.
Just my 2c.
If we ever did an ad they would have to be off by default for guests and users so unless you specifically hunted to opt them in to find them you would never see them. That is not in the plans but if everyone felt it would make their experience here more enjoyable then programatically it is easy.
In the meantime to compensate for access to the latest and greatest information vendors are allowed to announce products free of charge in the announcement forum and in ONE forum most appropriate for the product they are announcing. They may not exceed one post per week to keep spam completely curbed here. However the net effect will be access to informative posts announcing cutting edge products that are not based on whether a manufacturer pays to support WattFlyer. The vendors can include photos, specs, etc and take questions from the members here who want more information. Mods will monitor vendors to ensure they are not spamming and adhering to the one per week maximum so members do not get inundated with commercial threads here.

UPDATE: Seven-year, $49-million deal for Phaneuf has been made official by Maple Leafs ... One day ahead of the annual Winter Classic in Ann Arbor, the participating Toronto Maple Leafs are attracting a significant amount of attention for their off-ice dealings. Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos suggests the club is about to announce (Tuesday?) a long-term deal with its captain, defenseman Dion Phaneuf. The extension is rumored to be worth in and around $49 million over seven years. On a recent episode of HBO's "24/7", assistant general manager Claude Loiselle told GM Dave Nonis that a limited no-trade clause was the only sticking point between the two sides. Kypreos also claims the Maple Leafs are open to trading young center Nazem Kadri.
In other Leafs' related news, Leo Komarov is apparently keen to return to the NHL; ideally with the Toronto club, which owns his NHL rights until July. The gritty defensive forward is currently competing for Dynamo Moscow of the KHL.
Even though he played poorly in his first game after missing nearly three weeks with a knee injury, goalie Jimmy Howard is pegged to get the start for the Detroit Red Wings against the Leafs at the Big House.
Forward Roman Horak is fixed to make his Edmonton Oilers debut Tuesday on a line with Sam Gagner and Jordan Eberle. Horak has been skating with the AHL Oklahoma City Barons since being traded from the Calgary Flames in November. Winger Nail Yakupov is expected to sit out against the Phoenix Coyotes.
The Boston Bruins could have defenseman Dougie Hamilton (lower-body injury) back in a matter of days, not weeks. Injured forwards Loui Eriksson (concussion) and Carl Soderberg (unconfirmed concussion) also skated Monday. And defenseman Zdeno Chara appears to A-Okay after missing Saturday's game against the Ottawa Senators with some mysterious injury.
Acting GM Brian Burke added toughness to his Calgary squad by trading center Greg Nemisz to the Carolina Hurricanes for enforcer Kevin Westgarth (6-foot-4, 234lb). As Brian Burke is wont to do.
The Colorado Avalanche will have to manage without winger P.A. Parenteau for the next six weeks or so. Parenteau suffered a sprained knee in Sunday's tilt with the Winnipeg Jets. Nathan MacKinnon is expected to sub in for Parenteau on a forward line with Gabriel Landeskog and Paul Stastny, while Jamie McGinn will join the top-six and play with Matt Duchene and Ryan O'Reilly.
Goalie Corey Crawford (groin) hopes to return for the Chicago Blackhawks this Thursday (vs New York Islanders) or Friday (vs. New Jersey Devils). Friday might be the safer bet, since Antti Raanta may be afforded an immediate follow-up start to his first NHL shutout (Monday, 1-0 over the Los Angeles Kings). Crawford has been out since the first week of December.
In case you missed it earlier this week, goalie Michal Neuvirth wants out of Washington. Neuvirth hasn't suited up for the Washington Capitals since Nov. 22. The 25-year-old has one year left (cap hit: $2.5 million) on his contract after this season. ESPN Insider Craig Custance suggests the Islanders and Panthers might consider trading for Neuvirth as a "possible long-term option in goal".
The Detroit Free Press reports Team USA's three goalies for the Olympics will be Jonathan Quick (Kings), Ryan Miller (Buffalo Sabres) and Howard (Red Wings). Official announcement is to come Wednesday during the Winter Classic.
Ottawa forward Chris Neil could be out a while with a lower-body injury. Coach Paul MacLean hinted as much after the forward left during the first period of Monday's 3-1 win over the Capitals. On the upside, both forward Jason Spezza (hip) and defenseman Chris Phillips (foot) are considered "maybes" for Thursday's contest with the Winnipeg Jets.
No timetable for Tommy Wingels of the San Jose Sharks, who fell hurt during Sunday's 3-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks. The winger will miss Tuesday's game against the Ducks, at the very least. Related: ESPN Insider Craig Custance looks at who the Sharks might lean on at forward, in light of injuries to Wingels, Tomas Hertl, Martin Havlat and others.
The general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Ray Shero, has an alleged interest in trading for Jets Andrew Ladd, Evander Kane and Blake Wheeler (aka Winnipeg's three best forwards not named Bryan Little). Obviously the price for each would be awfully steep.
Goalie Brian Elliott is to start for the St. Louis Blues against the Minnesota Wild Tuesday. Not because Elliott has been better than No. 1 Jaroslav Halak, but because Halak is feeling fluey. Hmm.
Veteran Jaromir Jagr insists he won't ask the Devils for a trade at the deadline "if everything stays the same". "I'll fight to the end. I like it here too much," Jagr told The Star-Ledger. "I would hate to go to some team just to help them. I'd feel like a rented guy." Assuming the "everything stays the same" bit is to mean the Devils are still in realistic contention for a playoff spot.
Defenseman Marc Staal is expected to compete for the New York Rangers Tuesday after missing 10 games with a concussion. With Staal in the lineup, ESPNNY.com's Katie Strang suggests Michael Del Zotto and Justin Falk are the top contenders to sit against the Florida Panthers.
We knew the "who", and now it seems we know the "where". A source has told ESPN.com that the Capitals are favored to host the 2015 Winter Classic at Nationals Park. No hint yet as to an opponent.
"… While there has still not been any official decision, the source said it's likely that Nationals Park -- home to the Washington Nationals -- will be the chosen venue because of possible scheduling issues with the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field and because Nationals Park presents a relatively new venue …"

I'm sorry, I had to open up with that pic, I laughed like crazy when I first saw it. So! Down to business. How is everyone doing lately? And please bear in mind that I read everything on this site. The blogs, the comments. I like to read these things because it gives me insight/knowledge on the lives of everyone worldwide that I have the privilege of being friends with on here. I may not respond, but I still do read your comments.
Spring is finally coming. The wind today gave a hint of warm air and an aroma of grass and sunscreen. A sign of things to come??? I sure hope so! I am prepping my place for a big gathering on Sunday. Now I'm not religious, however I do think that Easter still calls for a perfect moment to gather friends/family and enjoy the good times. Nothing fancy, just simple relaxing and getting together, catching up, that sort of thing. I've been so wrapped up in band practices and doctors appointments that I have no time to relax.
The doctor stuff is nothing serious. I decided that I am getting a vasectomy. I like kids; I have nephews and nieces and stuff from my siblings, but it's just too expensive and the world is already overpopulated.
It's not confirmed, but my band may be heading to Germany to do a festival or two this summer. We'll see what happens with scheduling!!
Till next time.

FONTAINEBLEAU, France, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- French auctioneers said a coded letter written by Napoleon Bonaparte with a promise to blow up the Kremlin is headed to the auction block.
The Osenat auction house in Fontainebleau said the Oct. 20, 1812, coded letter was written by the French dictator during the time of the French invasion of Russia and features the leader vowing to "blow up the Kremlin," Radio France Internationale reported Thursday.
The letter is expected to sell for $13,000 to $20,000 at the December auction.
"Letters written by Napoleon from Russia are rare," said Alain Nicolas, expert for the Osenat auction house. "Many were lost, probably intercepted by the Russians."

Nutritional Epidemiology
Biology online, I have been gone awhile due to attending college on a full time schedule. I was wondering if anyone could help me with a specific question. I am currently taking a epidemiology course and my professor wants a few colleagues and I to inteview an nutritional epidemiologist. I have made several attempts to contact specific professors in my area or state. In fact I have contact a few out of state. It seems as if I will need to just ask an nutritionist.
The inteview consist of these questions.
1. How long have you worked for you company?
2. What are some events or job assinments you have worked in the past?
3. What are some ways have you or a team gathered data from a specific individual or state when it came to dieting and disease prevention?
4. How does you work contribute to the field of nutrition and epidemiology?
If these questions can be answered by someone of this expertise it would help me tremendously.
Thank you,
Moved to th emost general forum as it is more likely to find its target there.
Sorry but I cannot help though.

COUNTY Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service has strengthened its IT infrastructure with the help of technology experts ITPS, to allow it to deliver more efficient and resilient 999 call handling and other services.
The eight month project involved a complete upgrade of the IT infrastructure at the Framwellgate Moor HQ site and migration to the new HQ building on Belmont Business Park, Durham.
The Service's performance and information systems manager, Keith Lazzari, said: "ITPS has been our managed services partner for some years, with a team based onsite at our HQ, working alongside our in-house IT people. When we needed to implement a reliable, future-proof IT infrastructure to take us forward, they won the work in a competitive tender situation.
Loading article content
"Creating and implementing the new infrastructure while working alongside partners who were installing a new mobilisation platform and replacing back office systems, made this a complex project with far-reaching implications for the service.
"Our Command and Control centre alone handles more than 13,000 emergency calls a year so there was no scope for any interruption in service and together we achieved the aim of making it business as usual for more than 600 staff across our 16 sites.
"ITPS has helped us to invest for greater resilience and protect our previous investment by re-using existing hardware and software across the service, giving us an IT roadmap that will support future development."
Mark Mason director of Gateshead-based ITPS, said: "We were pleased to have brought such an important project for the Service in on time and within the fixed price we had committed to. CDDFRS knew we understood their business and had faith in our track record for service delivery, so winning this new contract was a real mark of confidence in our abilities.
"Upgrading the IT infrastructure is part of a series of integrated projects that will improve efficiency and underpin the development of services the authority provides to thousands of people, and we are proud that they chose a North East business to play its part in that."

Steve Chiotakis: Researchers this week are meeting in New York to see what may come of a possible new AIDS vaccine. They describe recent trial results in Thailand as a breakthrough. More now from reporter Joel Rose.
Joel Rose: While the trial results are encouraging, researchers caution that any public health benefit is still years, and billions of dollars, away.
Marshall Warren: But there's now a proof of concept. We now know that an AIDS vaccine is possible, and it certainly makes the case for additional investment, I think, much stronger.
Marshall Warren directs the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition. He'll join dozens of scientists, vaccine makers, government officials and philanthropic donors at a meeting this week in New York.
Warren is hoping to see more investment from pharmaceutical companies. So far, he says, they account for little of the $850 million a year flowing into AIDS vaccine research.
Warren: There's been very limited private sector engagement. Industry has been involved in AIDS vaccine research, but not with its own money. In large part because industry finds this science very risky, and it is very risky science.
Warren says pharmaceutical companies reduced their funding after a promising AIDS vaccine from drug-maker Merck failed two years ago. He hopes the Thai results will have the opposite effect.

Exploring Germany's Food and History
I can confirm that Germany is full of surprises. Backpacking around Europe in my youth, I had planned to stay for a few days, which quickly turned into a few weeks. This delightful post confirms the random (and sometimes bizarre) food, history and architecture of a complex nation. Passing through Moritzburg and Dresden, the blogger and her travel buddies find one captivating gem after another, such as their visit of Schloss Moritzburg:
The super-duper short history of the palace is that it started off as a hunting lodge in the mid-1500s and continued to be a favorite hunting spot for hundreds of years, as evidenced by its most striking feature......Its collection of red deer antlers, described as the largest collection of red deer antlers in the world, although I can't find an exact number (how large is the world's second-largest collection of red deer antlers?).

There are some Australian English which are called differently in American English.

Here's a comparison:

rubber ... eraser
lavatory, toilet ... washroom, restroom
biscuit ... cookie, cracker
paw paw ... papaya
capsicum ... bell pepper

Neighbour Day 2013
This year Neighbour Day falls o n March 31st and I'm sure our local are will have a celebration and Camden Council is asking their residents to nominate a neighbour that they think is good and deserving to be appreciated and awarded for their good deeds.
Neighbour Day is Australia's annual celebration of community, bringing together the people next door, across the street or on the next farm for a beer, a barbie or just a cuppa.
Held on the last Sunday in March every year, it's the perfect day to acknowledge your neighbours and thank them for being there for you.Source: camden.nsw.gov.au/

Should My Kids Apply for an Educational Loan
The disadvantage to student educational loans is that it leaves your child with a huge debt hanging over their heads as soon as they graduate. Instead of enjoying the benefits of their years of hard work and study, they instead have to worry about substantial repayments coming out of their wage in their new career.
What Are the Other Options?
Being Prepared for Educational Expenses
Another option is to invest in an Educational Savings Plan. This involves making regular contributions which often cannot be withdrawn unless it is for dedicated educational expenses. These plans can be quite restrictive, so always be fully aware of all the terms and conditions before you commit to investing.
Before you choose which way to start saving, you should look at consolidating and strengthening your current financial position. For a range of specialised financial services, contact a professional agency such as Fox Symes debt solutions. They can assist with budgeting, as well as organising debt consolidation and anything else you might require to begin saving for your child's education.
Giving your child the very best chance of success involves investing in their education. Student loans are effective for families who simply cannot afford to support their children through University, however it then leaves your child with tens of thousands of dollars in debt when they graduate. You'd be surprised just how much you can save if you start early and seek professional advice. Your children will thank you for giving them the very best start to their future.

My Handyman
My hands are full right now and so is my hubby for there are many obligations that need to be done. Work, business, kids and house works are pretty much demanding but I also don't let those hinder me from giving myself my well deserved "me" time.
My dear husband is so busy with our benchtop business that most of the times he has no more time to fix some things around the house. However, he makes it sure that he'll set a time to be at his work space in the garage to organize and fix some things. The other day he is almost set to order nuts, bolts and bolts from a supplier after he saw some knobs online. I guess he is planning another project.... another mini-house for my sweet lil' bianca?

Last Song Syndrome (LSS)
Oh boy, that song from Spandau Ballet keeps ringing in my ear for many hours now. It's been one my fave songs in the 80's and it keeps on bringing lots of good memories back in those days. I can still remember when my friends and I were singing it on our way home from duty and we all burst into laughter when some people look at us because we're loud.
A guy friend is even playing the song on his guitar on one of our outings and seriously Spandau Ballet songs and other songs back in the 80's are classic. Up to these days, some artists are reviving those songs with a twist. Oh I guess I have to ask my daughter now to hone her guitar playing skills and can even promise her that I'll get her a new acoustic bass guitar at music123 if she can play this song for me. Yay.....
Now, I have to get this song out of my head now.

Busy.. Busy.. Busy
Ahhh... what a life! I have to juggle being a wife, mom and now being a student. Yes.. I'm back to school trying to learn new things that hopefully can help me in the future.
Things have been pretty busy with us here in Aussie land but I have to say that I'm loving our life in our own home with my hubby and kids. I still make cake, cuppies and other pastries from time to time and hope you can order at BELLA SWEET CAKES.

Hi there.

Thanks, and keep with your drawing
Hi there.
I'm actually new around and just wanted to greet you and ..well.. expose my portfolio Any feedback would help.
Thanks, and keep with your drawing
I like the sense of light you're giving in your pieces, not bad at all, but there are some troubles with composition here and there and you're not showing some real design or a finished illustration.
Get in touch with me:
Portfolio- Twitter(not very active) - Facebook - Youtube Channel (outdated)
love your portfolio man, some real impressive pieces.
can you be more specific, seems you know what your talking about, id like to see some more specific points on gabisergs composition. I hope to learn from what you have to say
Sure no problem. He's not composing his images, that's all. Seems like he's putting the subject into the page to render it and nothing more. The problem with this attitude is that your painting will look very static and you're not guiding your viewer eyes at all like this. Why is this a problem? Because static images are boring, not involving, and by arranging your composition in a good way you can move your viewer eyes trough the page and let him focus on your subject or you can let him discover things all around the page with an high level of interest.
If you need to know something more i'll be glad to explain it.
Get in touch with me:
Portfolio- Twitter(not very active) - Facebook - Youtube Channel (outdated)
Thing I understand what do you mean Hitsu//san. Gasiberg, check out the perspective of your drawing in the first post... I don't feel it.
The lights are damn good on the character, but I don't see it on the background that seem really flat to me.
It's like you was to boring to draw a background for your great characters, so you just paint a flat brown big dusty cloud and add two little things without perspective.
By adding elements such a castle on the right far away from the subject, or mountains, etc... you create a universe for your characters.
Think about that : The much important thing is to create a universe, or some characters? My response is the first one. You need to have a strong environment for your characters in order to draw us, until you do character designing only, of course.
I keep trying to learn how to draw since I was 3 years old... except that I just understand that I have to pratice and that's all.
BTW i'm a french native speaker so my english can be really bad... I apologize...

DEFINITION of 'Inchoate Interest'
Interests, generally property interests, that are likely to vest but have not yet actually done so. The inchoate interest usually is dependent on an event occurring that triggers the interest, such as a relative's death triggering an inheritance. The interest that the inheriting relative has in the inheritance is inchoate until the death occurs, at which point it becomes a real interest.
BREAKING DOWN 'Inchoate Interest'

I've seen others on here with iPod track names showing up on the DIS but all it says on mine is CD1 CD2 etc. I've got the Concert double din so not sure if it's something to do with the head unit or maybe another issue... Any advice? Thanks

Lot more than just screams. Great collection of vocal spice to add to productions. Lots of current pop sounding stuff. Would like to have seen more generic Oohs and Ahhs for wider use in all genres. But still a good set to have on hand.

SALT LAKE CITY — There are no specific threats of retaliation related to Utah following the killing of Osama bin Laden.
But state Homeland Security officials have been advised to keep their eyes and ears open.
Late Sunday night, Department of Public Safety Col. Keith Squires, the governor's Homeland Security adviser, received word from the federal Homeland Security office "advising us that every center and everyone needs to be at a heightened level of vigilance because of the potential of those directly connected to al-Qaida, or sympathetic to al-Qaida, may strike out."
Following the death of the world's most wanted man, national security advisers warned of possible retaliation by terrorist groups.
Squires, the state's Homeland Security director, said Utah has the Statewide Information and Analyst Center, or SIAC, a public safety partnership designed to collect, analyze, and disseminate intelligence to protect against such things as terrorism. It is part of the Fusion Center network, which consists of 72 agencies nationwide and in U.S. territories.
The SIAC is partnered with the FBI and federal Homeland Security.
"It's what ties us to federal agencies," Squires said. "It's actually become a very effective tool."
Information is exchanged daily among intelligence analysts.
In Utah, the message to be more vigilant means at this point for law enforcers to simply watch for suspicious activity, Squires said.
"We put that information out to the law enforcement agencies that are tied into the SIAC just for them to be extra alert to anything that may be possibly related to terrorist activity," he said. "Watch more carefully for things that may be related and get information to the Fusion Center in case someone is motivated by (bin Laden's death).
"Right now, it's just eyes and ears."
If information about a specific threat is received, it would be passed along to the appropriate agency, Squires said. Meanwhile, the Fusion Centers would exchange information to find out if an incident in one state, for example, could be linked to threats in other areas, he said.
Squires pointed to the arrest of Najibulla Zazi of an example of how the intelligence sharing system worked. In 2009, Zazi, who lived in Colorado and plotted to bomb the New York subway system, was arrested before carrying out his alleged plot.
"We look at that as an example of how al-Qaida has changed efforts to reach out to individuals who are already here in the county to try and inspire them to conduct attacks whenever and wherever they can. It's increased the effort for federal, state and local agencies (to work together to stop potential terrorist threats)."
Officials are also encouraging, "anyone that sees something unusual or potentially linked to criminal activity to report that to law enforcement," Squires said.2 comments on this story
Other local law enforcement agencies also reported Monday they are not currently making any special patrols because of the new warning.
"There's no reported threat locally. We maintain a conjunctive effort with federal agencies on security. We have not altered our day-to-day activities in Salt Lake City," said Salt Lake Police Sgt. Shawn Josephson.
Salt Lake City International Airport spokeswoman Barbara Gann said airport police were on a "heightened security," but did not elaborate on whether that meant any changes to their daily patrols.

You've heard of the Palm Store or the Apple Store, and now comes the BlackBerry store. Wireless Giant has opened the first authorized multi-carrier BlackBerry store in Farmington Hills, Michigan. The store will feature a number of BlackBerry products and services offered by Research In Motion (RIM).
BlackBerry handhelds from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless will be featured in the new store. Probably not coincidentally, the store is not too far away from Wireless Giant's national headquarters. The goal of opening the store was to provide a one-stop shop for BlackBerry related hardware, software, and services.
If the BlackBerry store is successful in Michigan, then you can bet we will start to see other BlackBerry stores open up nationwide. It's a good concept; many people are already sold on the BlackBerry brand. It's the wireless service that they still may need to make a decision on. Right now, they would have to visit each individual wireless company store to figure out which carrier is best. Now, those lucky enough to be close to the first BlackBerry store, only have to visit one place.

Blue Devil Football Suffers First Loss Of Season
Posted: 14 September, 2013
WAYNE (KTCH/KCTY) - The Wayne High football hosted South Sioux City in its quest for 3-0 Friday night. The Blue Devils jumped out early when Jalen Barry connected with Demetrius Alexander for a 27-yard scoring strike to give Wayne a 7-0 lead.
Alexander would reach pay dirt again, this time plunging in from three yards out. Wayne led 14-3 at halftime. The Cardinals would crawl back into the ballgame and score their only touchdown on a long pass play midway through the fourth quarter and eventually took a 15-14 lead. That would prove to be the final score, as Wayne was turned away on a fourth down deep in South Sioux City territory. With the loss, Wayne is now 2-1 on the year.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN 6) — The big ships did not come into port for the Rose Festival last year due to budget cuts, but they're back this June.
Fleet Week is returning to Portland as part of the Rose Festival.
A U.S. Navy destroyer ship and a cruiser will be on display on the Portland waterfront, as will two Coast Guard ships and a ship from the Royal Canadian Navy. The ships will begin arriving June 4th and June 6th, and set sail again June 9. Admission to tour the ships is free, but most ships set their own schedules.

TUNIS, July 16 (Reuters) - Tunisia's ruling Ennahda has re-elected Rachid Ghannouchi to lead the moderate Islamist party for another two years, sources said on Monday, an outcome that could go some way to reassuring secularists worried about a slide into religious government.
One Ennahda source close to Ghannouchi said he had taken more than 70 percent of the vote at the party's first public congress that began on Thursday.
Banned under Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, who was toppled last year in mass protests that sparked the Arab Spring, Ennahda won the most seats in elections to a constituent assembly in October and formed a government in coalition with two secular parties.
Ennahda has since come under pressure from both hardline Salafi Muslims, calling for the introduction of Islamic law, and secular opposition parties.


text: | Reprints September 7, 2012 by Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla, MD; Flavia Rossi, MD; Bassel Alkhalil, MD Abstract Primary tracheal carcinoid tumor is an extremely rare disorder that has been reported only occasionally in the medical literature. We report a case of a 36-year-old African American woman who presented to the emergency department complaining of persistent neck pain for the preceding week. She was 2 weeks postpartum and had no significant medical history. Laboratory workup was unremarkable. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a polypoid mass in the trachea. After bronchoscopy and laser ablation of the mass were performed, the final diagnosis of carcinoid tumor was made. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of this tumor in a postpartum patient. Further studies regarding the interactions between the natural history of carcinoid tumors and pregnancy are warranted. Their infrequency, clinical features, and pathophysiology make tracheal carcinoid tumors a formidable and interesting diagnostic challenge.

This time of year, my mind turns to Black IPA. This somewhat controversial style has an identity problem. It's the IPA that looks like a porter. As a result no one knows what to call them. But whether you refer to them as the mysterious sounding "Cascadian Dark Ales," the awkward catch-all "American-style Black Ales," or just plain "bip-uhs," to me they build a bridge from the high-heat of summer to the cooler, darker nights of fall. The best have a fresh, bitter hoppiness that reminds me of bright sunshine. That's followed by the dark chocolate and toasty-roasted malts that recall a roaring fire place on a cold night.
I'd prefer to be drinking my BIPA as summer fades. I probably should have had it brewing by now in order to enjoy it during the transition between seasons. But, what with climate change, autumn doesn't really kick in until about November in my part of the world, so I've got time.
I've brewed IPAs before but never their darker cousins, so I'm off to the home brew store to talk to my sage, Joe. (He really should have a more dramatic name. Something with gravitas that's vaguely Tolkien-esque, like Gaspar or, better yet, Bieronymus.)
Anyway, I want to see if he has any Citra or Sorachi Ace or some other new-fangled hop lying around. I want to get a little crazy with this American-style Black Ale. I'm planning on using Cascade and Warrior for bittering and flavor. But I think dry hopping with something seemingly more exotic will add complexity and a bright note. Not to mention that using a more off-the-beaten-path hop will make me sound cooler when I tell my wife (the only person who listens to me talk about beer) about the brew. "Yeah, I totally dry-hopped this puppy with Nelson Sauvin." I can already see her falling asleep in love all over again.
Plus, I've never dry hopped a beer. So that ought to offer plenty of room for me to mess things up as usual.
This will be an extract with grains recipe. My extract will be a light liquid malt. My grain bill will include Carafa II and either some roast, or chocolate malt to help me get in touch with my dark side.
As for the yeast for my Cascadian Dark Ale, I'm curious to try the San Diego Super strain, not only for its alliterative qualities but because here again is an ingredient that makes me seem very knowledgeable, very "now". "All the cool California breweries are using it," or so I'll tell my wife. In truth, I want to use it because, according to my research, it works faster than California Ale yeast so, presumably, I'll have beer in hand sooner.
I'm off to the store. Hopefully I'll be drinking this Cascadian-American-Dark-IPA before it gets cold outside when my mind turns to stouts and porters. Hey, there's an idea: maybe I should pick up ingredients for one of those. I think that's called "planning ahead." I should try that some time.Last modified on

On Friday, July 25 the ZSR Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery department headed to Asheville for the annual NC Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery Conference. Tara and I shared the ZSR van with our ILL colleagues, Anna Milholland at Salem College and Angie Hobbs from the WFU Professional Center Library. Our half of the Conference was held at Western Carolina's facility at Biltmore Park. The other half of the Conference was being held simultaneously at UNC-Wilmington.
Here's Tara's report on the morning session:
The morning session was about Best Practices in ILL. Our session was led by James Harper and JoAnn Marvel from Western Carolina. Also presenting was Brooke Andrade, from the National Humanities Center conferencing in from UNC Wilmington, NC. The session was about pros/cons in Interlibrary Loans/Document Delivery Services. We were given a lot of helpful knowledge as they discussed the ALA Interlibrary Loan Code, and the responsibilities of the Borrowing & Lending libraries. Also discussed were the dos and don'ts of how to package Library materials.
Here's my report of the rest of the day:
After exploring Biltmore Park restaurants and shops during the lunch break we headed back to the Conference. The afternoon session options were based on the ILL system that we use in our library. Anna and Angie attended the OCLC WorldShare session with Tony Melvin of OCLC and Tara and I attended the ILLiad session with Genie Powell, Chief Customer Officer from Atlas Systems, Inc.
Some of the ILLiad updates that may be helpful here at ZSR are custom "flags" and auto mode for Odyssey Helper. I'm familiar with the flags because they're used in Ares to mark requests that need a particular action. When a request needs attention it will appear in its own flag queue as well as its original queue until you remove the flag. This way you can take care of the action needed without changing the status of the request.
Our current workflow involves having to open a stand-alone version of Odyssey Helper to upload the article scans we've made and deliver them to our patrons and borrowing libraries. With the next upgrade of ILLiad, Odyssey Helper will be incorporated into the ILLiad interface and will automatically send documents that are in the proper status. We're hoping this works as well as it sounds as the stand-alone version requires patience.
The committee for this Conference was headed up by James Harper who did a great job of coordinating all the technology involved in trying to make the Conference geographically accessible to all interested North Carolina libraries. He was one of the presenters in the morning, he coordinated the audio and video from Asheville to Wilmington, the audio and video from Wilmington to Asheville, the guest speakers who were virtually joining us from Ohio and Virginia, and managed to throw in some humor along the way. James' day reminded me of a plate spinning act on the Ed Sullivan Show.
The Conference was a good opportunity to catch up with friends and share/vent with ILL colleagues. On the way home we encountered this new NC resident on the freeway
and Tara artfully avoided the chicken cage that had apparently fallen off a truck and was in the middle of our lane on I-40.

Cassidian Boosts its Light UAV Activity With the Acquisition of SurveyCopter
- SurveyCopter is in partnership with Cassidian programs since 2003, particularly for the Tracker.
- Cassidian's target is to position SurveyCopter at the heart of its activities for mini and tactical UAVs in France.
Cassidian plans to launch a new industrial pole specifically dedicated to tactical UAVs and light UAVs, including VTOL UAV programs (Vertical Take-Off and Landing - VTOL), in order to better match a growing demand of the sector in both military and private mission environments. As the result of a long term vision, this addition would greatly enhance the commercial possibilities in targeted export markets such as India or the Middle-East.

In Reply to: Suggestions needed for recovering aneurism patient (she's bored) posted by Tess on September 27, 2000 at 22:26:39:
: My beloved MIL (48 years old) is the survivor of three brain aneurisms and two neurosurgeries. : Her first surgery went well, but either during or after her second surgery she had a: very debilitating stroke. She spent 2 months and 2 weeks in the hospital, 6 of those: weeks in rehab. She has made an amazing recovery as her doctor told us the day she: was discharged that she had progressed further than most patients do in an entire year: in a mere 6 weeks.
: My MIL, Kathy, is now home, but she's bored out of her mind. She was once very: athletic, enjoyed fishing and the outdoors, crafting, etc. I've been thinking and thinking: trying to come up with something for her to do during the day. She has limited use of: her right side and she has double vision. The only thing I can think of is jigsaw puzzles,: but I'm not certain that she can see those. Any ideas on something she can do basically: sitting down and one handed? I talked to her today and the first thing out of her mouth when: I asked her how she was feeling was, "I'm disgusted! I'm tired of sitting down and laying down: and I want something to do!! I'm bored!"
: Thanks for reading this.hi tess,I too had a stroke leaving me paralyzed on my left side.I also loved fishing and being outdoors.I'm not much in the crafting department but the puzzles sound like a good idea she needs to exercise her brain to.there isn't any rcomendations I'm personally able to give but if a pen pa; will help her I'll be glad to be that! also I've foundit is possible to fish one handedI've taken my two 3 year old grandsons on a few occasions.my wife found me an electric fishing reel for father's day. it works great just push a button and it reels itself in. the entire contraption is a little heavy maybe 15 pounds.and it will set on the ground leaving her free to move around the best she can. the batteries stay charged for up to 4 months it says what I do know is it's very powerfull.although it's not cheap I'm thinking it cost about $800 but it was a very good investment in my opinion at least it gives me some measure of pleasure. which had been lacking in my life.if you'd like and this seems plausable to you for Kathy I'll be glad to give you any info I'm able to dig up on it feel free to email me if you'd like or even better have her mail me we might work out to be good friends by the way i've just turned 50 years old my stroke was almost 8 years ago.looking forward to hearing from either one or both of you.Larry Coldiron

Paul Bonin-Rodriguez has a way of describing the world that feels like dramatic DSL amid a sea of theatrical dial-up. Not only are his ideas fast and clear, they are also multitudinous, pinging around on his abundant creative bandwidth. With his one-man show ''Fringe & Fringe Ability," Bonin-Rodriguez is a strong choice to open ''Out on the Edge: The 14th Annual Festival of Queer Theater," presented by the Theater Offensive at the Boston Center for the Arts.
''Fringe" follows the life of John Roy Hobson, an Austin-based flight attendant for
There are two sprawling yet not entirely reinforcing arcs to the narrative. One involves John's fitful romance with an interior designer in Chicago. The other explores John's relationship with his mother, who still lives in John's hometown of Cedar Springs, Texas.
One link between the two story lines is a cross-country flight that takes John from his love interest in the first act to the somber responsibilities of parental caretaking in the second. Both halves are absorbing, but Bonin-Rodriguez would do well to increase the number of connections between the two.
There's little more than a folding chair, a ladder, and a messenger bag onstage, but Bonin-Rodriguez deftly creates a range of locations with his words. His quirky characters move from a sleekly decorated apartment in Chicago to a rundown diner in Texas as quickly as Bonin-Rodriguez switches roles from a demanding Texas design client to a portrayal of entertainer John Tesh. Bonin-Rodriguez bounces from character to character easily and often hilariously.
On the downside, he stumbled over lines throughout Thursday's performance, something that can be deadly, especially with dialogue as quick-witted as his. The miscues seemed more a result of his adjusting to late tweaks to the script than of his losing track of his own story.
Ultimately, Bonin-Rodriguez survives these mishaps, as do the unique musings of John Roy Hobson. The needed fixes aren't complex, but they are critical to Bonin-Rodriguez's future success with the play.

When O.J. Mayo landed at USC, many pundits declared that Mayo, a consensus All-American in high school, would forever change the perception of USC's basketball program. Mayo -- like Greg Oden, Kevin Durant and many, many others before -- is seen as a "program changer", a player whose skill is so profound and rep so immense that writers want to cover his team and other elite talents want to play with his team.
The truth, though, is that while Oden and the "Thad Five" lived up to the hype by playing for a national title, Ohio State was in a difficult position following Oden's departure, because he and Mike Conley both left long before an era could truly be established. USC will have Mayo for one interesting and possibly amazing season, but at the end of the day, one- or even two-and-done players are not the true program changers they are made out to be.

Reinaldo Arenas
My Lover The Sea - Poem by Reinaldo Arenas
I am that child with the round, dirty face
who on every corner bothers you with his
"can you spare a quarter?"
I am that child with the dirty face
no doubt unwanted
that from far away contemplates coaches
where other children
emit laughter and jump up and down considerably
I am that unlikeable child
definitely unwanted
with the round dirty face
who before the giant street lights or
under the grandames also illuminated
or in front of the little girls that seem to levitate
projects the insult of his dirty face
I am that angry and lonely child of always,
that throws you the insult of that angry child of always
and warns you:
if hypocritically you pat me on the head
I would take that opportunity to steal your wallet.
I am that child of always
before the panorama of imminent terror,
imminent leprosy, imminent fleas,
of offenses and the imminent crime.
I am that repulsive child that improvises a bed
out of an old cardboard box and waits,
certain that you will accompany me.

Health director receives award for decades of work
Shrewsbury – In a perfect world, teenagers wouldn't have to worry about unplanned pregnancy, pressure from their classmates to drink or use drugs, or emotional or physical abuse by their parents or partners. Every child would come from a stable home, with a strong support system and someone to guide them through the struggles they'll face as young adults.
In a perfect world, these students wouldn't need Patricia Degon as much as they do.
Because the world isn't perfect, Degon, Shrewsbury's health and physical education director, has spent nearly three decades answering students' most difficult and personal questions in a manner that has garnered her national acclaim.
"We are very diff erent in the way we reach out to kids than a math or science teacher, in that we are really intending to hit kids in a personal way," Degon said. "We talk about what's going on in our hearts and our heads, and they come to us to talk about things that they see as just everything in their world at that moment."
Unlike in a core class, there is really no way for Degon to know if her lessons are hitting home with her students. While students take exams in other subjects to test their knowledge, the true test for Degon's students comes on Saturday night when someone hands them a beer, when they decide whether or not they're going to buckle their seatbelts, or when they stand up for themselves against someone who is mistreating them.
"We suspect that we're making that impact, but we can't see it, and that can be frustrating," Degon said. "But every once in a while you'll get a simple little note either signed or anonymous that comes from a student thanking you for providing them with unknown support and resources they needed at a particular time in their lives and that's when you know that you're making a diff erence."
Degon's curriculum relies less on textbook lessons and more on exposing students to real-life situations others have faced, like the "Yellow Dress" dating violence performance.
She also shares some of her own experiences during class discussions, which she said are often more educational than the day's lesson plan.
"A single question asked by a student can be so valuable and important that it can derail the entire class, but a good teacher knows to stop and answer that question that may have been so hard for that student to ask and others may have wanted to ask," she said. "If I choose to share from my life and they choose to share from theirs, it just makes our class very much closer."
Using these real-life situations has helped Degon capture not only the attention but also the respect of her students.
"Real-life experiences are very valuable in good teaching, and if something isn't real they'll see through it real fast," she said. "I can't go in there as an adult and tell them to 'just say no' because I'd be wasting their time and mine."
Her dedication to her students and the field have also gained the respect of her peers, who have awarded Degon with the 2008 MAHPERD Honor Award, one of several awards she has received for her work.
She has also been invited to serve on several boards, to help to rewrite state health standards and work directly on developing the Michigan Model for Health program.
While she is honored by the awards bestowed on her, Degon said the real reward is giving children the lessons and the support they'll take with them for their entire lives.
"I teach children not only for their own health and safety but also to prepare them to be parents and raise safe and healthy children," she said.
