'Past in Reverse: Contemporary Art of East Asia' at Peeler Center, August 23 - December 8
July 19, 2006
Also: "Light Pollution: Eric Sall," August 23-September 24
July 19, 2006, Greencastle, Ind. - "Past in Reverse: Contemporary Art of East Asia," an exhibition exploring the innovative ways contemporary artists in East Asia create work that fuses cultural histories and ancient techniques with new technologies, opens at DePauw University's Richard E. Peeler Art Center on August 23, 2006. The works will remain on display through December 8, and the exhibition is free and open to all.

In recent years, East Asia has become a particularly vital and increasingly influential player in the global economic and political arenas. Concurrently, cultural and artistic innovations from this geographic area, though still new to many Western audiences, are a recognized force with the international art scene. Past in Reverse: Contemporary Art of East Asia brings together the work of twenty-two established and emerging artists and artists -- groups from mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea, and provides a rich overview of the innovative and remarkable work coming out of this region.
The exhibition's premise is borrowed from a common practice shared by the artists -- namely, using the past to map the future. Ranging in age from their twenties to their fifties, and working with both traditional materials and new technologies, including painting, sculpture, photography, installation, video, and digital media, the artists in Past in Reverse represent the region's tremendous contemporary import and deep cultural complexity. (at right: credit: Wang Qingsong, Knickknack Peddler, 2002 chromogenic print, 47 1/4 x 157 1/2 in., courtesy of the artist and CourtYard Gallery, Beijing)
Asserting the interrelated cultural identities of East and West, Past in Reverse relates art to current geo-political conditions and reflects the emergence of East Asia as an ascendant player in the global economic and political arena. The works in the exhibition collectively shape fresh readings of contemporary society by extending or redefining both traditional and modernist visual languages. This process of self-evaluation and discovery, as well as experimentation with new technologies, has yielded a host of innovative and challenging solutions, as well as practices that rely on the seduction of historical reference and its ability to propel us towards the future.
Participating artists include: Ryoko Aoki, Yiso Bahc, Cai Guo-Qiang, Cao Fei, Flyingcity Urbanism Research Group, Hiroshi Fuji, G8 Public Relations and Art Consultation Corporation, Hung Yi, Hee-Jeong Jang, Soun-Gui Kim, Kim Young Jin, Leung Mee Ping, Michael Lin, Mitsushima Takayuki, Shao Yinong and Muchen, Wilson Shieh, Tadasu Takamine, Wang Jianwei, Wang Qinsong, Yang Fudong, Yangjiang Calligraphy Group, and Shizuka Yokomizo.

This exhibition was organized by the San Diego Museum of Art with major support provided by the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation. Its presentation at DePauw has been generously funded by Richard D. and Barbara Dixon Harrison '56.
You're invited to attend a gallery talk by Betti-Sue Hertz, Curator of Contemporary Art, San Diego Museum of Art, on Thursday, October 26, at 4 p.m.
The galleries at the Richard E. Peeler Art Center are open Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; Saturday 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Sunday 1-5 p.m.

Wolmaransstad - The 2014 SA Off-road Series for motorcycles and quads hits the ground running this weekend with the season opener, the Diamond Route 400 on the farm Rietkuil in the Wolmaransstad area of North-West province.
The route has two 60km loops, with motorcycle racers starting on one and quad riders on the other at 8am on Saturday morning, 8 March. They'll swop loops after completing three laps, and do it all again for a total race distance of about 360km.
Riders from as far as the Cape, East London and Port Elizabeth, KwaZulu-Natal, Hoedspruit and Limpopo have entered.
The starting order for this race was determined by the results of a seeding event held earlier this season outside Bronkhorstspruit, where Botswana motocross and off-road motorcycle racer Ross Branch rattled a few cages by posting the fastest time - albeit only 26 seconds faster than the defending OR2 (250cc) champion, Yamaha rider Timmy Young, with current OR1 (Open Class) champion and title holder Kenny Gilbert on a works Yamaha just seven seconds further back in third.
Branch's KTM team mates, Louwrens Mahoney (twice a winner of this race), 2013 OR4 (Under 21) winner Louw Schmidt, Juan 'Bollie' van Rooyen (the fastest Senior Class rider at the seeding event), Jono van Wyk and Tyron Miller all finished within the top 20 at the seeding event and will hope to start their season on a high note.
Yamaha Racing's two members - Gilbert and Marc Torlage - will also be aiming to build on their top-five results at the Seeding Event while privateers Ruan Roberts (sixth fastest in Bronkhorstspruit), Young and Charan Moore will be adding their support to the Yamaha campaign.
Like Young, Dillon Inggs (Kawasaki) has also moved from OR2 to OR1 and posted a seeding time that put him in the top 10 while Husqvarna star Altus de Wet moved from OR1 to OR2 - he posted the top OR2 time at Bronkhorstspruit will start in the top 10 at Rietkuil.
Senior Class competitors in both categories have to complete the full race distance and they also score overall points. Juan 'Bollie' van Rooyen (KTM), who joins the Senior Class for riders older than 38 years this year, set the fastest seeding time but he can expect competition from the current champion, Pieter Holl and his team mate Kobus Jonck, while Justin Broughton (Kawasaki), who finished second in 2013, and former champion Wayne Farmer (Gas Gas) will also be aiming for the title again.
There's new name at the top of the Masters Class for riders older than 46: Garth Prost (Husqvarna) set the pace in seeding and will hope to stay at the front in Wolmaransstad. Leon Gerber won a few times last year, however, and will be aiming for the title from the start.
The three Polokwane riders who dominated the 2013 season are seeded in the top four with André du Plessis (Yamaha) posting the fastest time, ahead of defending title holder Jurie 'Botter' Meyer (Yamaha), with Jaco Moller (Yamaha) third, Brian Baragwanath (Yamaha) fourth and Jacques Struwig (Boesman Suzuki) fifth - and leading the Senior Class.
Struwig, however, will be on two wheels this weekend - he's in Cape Town competing in the Argus Cycle Tour.
Defending Senior Class champion Paul Chomse is also not competing, so anything could happen in this category and probably will. Charles Lee (Suzuki) posted the second fastest time at the seeding event with Stuart Freeman (Yamaha) third.
Freeman's team mate Russell Ferreira (Honda) could not post a time and will have to fight his battle from the back of the field, along with Banie Barnard and Oz Osborne (Yamaha).
Competitors in the Masters Class will have to complete five laps - a severe test for riders older than 46. Tony dos Santos (Suzuki) was the fastest at Bronkhorstspruit; he and multiple champion Jurie Meyer Snr (Yamaha) will take up where they left off last season with Org Geldenhuys (Can-Am), who was seeded third fastest, ready to take advantage of their slightest misfortune.
The riders have to pass through the pits after each 60km lap which means spectators in the Start/Finish and central pits area at Rietkuil will get to see all the action, up close and personal.

Casey Abrams American Idol Bass, Double Bass, Guitar, Piano, Clarinet
January 16, 2012 by staff
Casey Abrams American Idol Bass, Double Bass, Guitar, Piano, Clarinet, Casey Abrams American Idol, In case you haven't been keeping track, a whole slew of record deals have come out of American Idol season 10. Winner Scotty McCreery and runner-up Lauren Alaina both scored contracts and currently have albums on the chart (in fact, McCreery's Clear As Day was awarded platinum certification yesterday), as does fourth-place finalist James Durbin.
Haley Reinhart, who finished in third, is currently working on her debut with Interscope, Pia Toscano, despite a ninth-place rank, scored a contract as well, and Stefano Langone (who's apparently dating Ms. Reinhart) signed a management deal with 19 Entertainment.
But a record deal has continually evaded one of season 10?s buzziest (and most talented) contestants: Casey Abrams. Well, all that changed yesterday: EW has confirmed that Abrams is now signed with Concord Records, the jazz label that is also home to Esperanza Spalding, Carole King, and Kenny G.
Casey, who growled, scatted, and plucked his upright bass to a sixth-place finish, was clearly excited (and a little nervous) about the news, so he made a video to express himself.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — A former Indiana surgeon captured in Italy after five years on the run is scheduled to find out how much longer he will spend in prison after pleading guilty to 22 counts of health care fraud.Comment on this story
Mark Weinberger is scheduled to be sentenced Friday in Hammond by U.S. District Judge Philip Simon, his second attempt at a plea deal. Simon rejected a plea deal last year that called for a four-year prison sentence, saying he was not confident it took into account the scope of Weinberger's crimes.
Weinberger once ran a nose and sinus clinic in Merrillville, where prosecutors say he billed insurers and patients for procedures he didn't perform.
The new deal sets a limit of 10 years in prison, but Weinberger is hoping for time served.

Congressman Keith Rothfus [PA-12] released the following statement about co-sponsoring a constitutional amendment to limit the number of terms a Member of Congress may serve in the House and in the Senate.
"Washington is broken," said Rothfus. "Citizen legislators with real world and private sector experience are needed now more than ever given the challenges we face. Term limits would ensure that our representatives and senators are citizen legislators who serve for a season and then return to life as private citizens."
House Joint Resolution 26, introduced by Congressman Andy Barr [KY-06], would amend the Constitution to establish a limit of six consecutive full terms in the House and two consecutive full terms in the Senate.

concept models 1/6th scale fleet bipe
Hey now,
I just came into one of these kits, been wanting one for several years now.
Looks very well thought out so far. I'm planning on potentiialy over powering it with an E-Flite power 46, 4sLiPos and APC 14-10 prop.
Any traps, tricks, or troubles I should know about before digging in?
Also where can I find the nifty dummy cylinders for this kit?
I have one of these I built about three years ago.
The E-Flite 46 will be 'well overpowered' for this airframe, as it builds out pretty light with its stick construction. Either the E-Flite 32 or AXI 2826 would probably be just right. I powered mine with a Mega 22/30/3 on a 3:1 ratio belt drive and 4S2P LiPo. Mine probably weighs no more than 5 or 5-1/4 lb. AUW.
I'd scale back on the prop to maybe a 14-7 or 13-8. You definitely won't need all that power or speed or you'll blow the wings off. 400-450w at the prop should fly her just fine with power to spare.
This bird is an antique (so is the model), and is meant to fly slow and graceful. With the Power 46 you'll likely never need more than half throttle. Remember this plane was originally designed around a big, heavy Astro brushed motor and lots of round cells. The weight loss going from old school drive components to new is significant.
The only real negatives I remember having concerning the kit were the somewhat rough hand cutting of some of the wing ribs and riblets. I think I had to replace some of the 1/4" square stock too. Some pieces were so soft they weren't good for anything. The rest of the kit is well thought out and goes together with few surprises. I also bought a fiberglass cowl from Fiberglass Specialties to use in place of the supplied one, which was cracked in my kit (old kit bought from Ebay).
As for dummy cylinders, I used 5 Williams Brothers Pratt & Whitney cylinders in 1/6 scale. WB is back in production, so these shouldn't be hard to get. I made a sort of jig from balsa (a 5 sided box) to get the spacing and diameter right on the cylinders, and mounted the whole thing in the cowl. Then I epoxied the cylinders in place from the inside, and removed the balsa jig. This was probably the most time consuming part of the whole build. It is worth it to get the dummy engine right, as it sets off the looks of the whole plane.
I hope you like building, as this is an old school kit--no interlocking pieces to cheat with--pure conventional stick construction. Wings have the scale number of ribs and short ribs, and are a bit tedious to build. IIRC I had a little trouble with the fit of the lower wing to the fuselage around the spar area, so take extra care there. If you want to go with scale rigging, it's best to plan and install the hard points before you cover.
Good luck with your Fleet. I have a Fleet logo image like it appears on the vertical fin I can send you if you want to make decals.
Last edited by ElectRick; Apr 03, 2007 at 11:03 AM.
Hey now,
Thanks for the info. I guess I'll have to find less motor for this plane, don't want to rip the wings off
Also thanks for the bit on the cowl, it'll save me molding a new one as mine is pretty well shot too.
I don't mind building a bit, this model doesn't look any harder than building a Lazy Bee kit, almost a giant scale gumbander, kinda nice really after all those jig saw puzzle laser cut kits. On mine all the ribs and riblets look very clean and the wood looks to be light and strong, luck of the draw I guess.
Now I just need to clear my big building board, this wing is long...

Kenneth Cole makes multichannel push via mobile photo sharing contest
On Dec. 12, Kenneth Cole sent a SMS message to its opted-in users announcing the contest. Consumers can enter the promotion via email, Instagram and Twitter.
"SMS has become the primary channel for contest entry method among our clients," said Doug Stovall, senior vice president of sales and client services at Hipcricket, New York.
"Brands recognized that SMS is immediate and ubiquitous with 100 percent reach and offers higher engagement rate than traditional mail," he said. "For brands, SMS contests are also easier to implement – they are quick to set up, allow brands to immediately notify winners with a single text message and can analyze the results of the contest in one digital file."
"According to NPD, more than 30 percent of all photos are taken with a camera phone while sales of point-and-shoot cameras dropped 17 percent in volume last year. We believe, mobile offers the best platform for photo sharing contests mainly because of the ease of use and the simplicity."
Mr. Stovall is not associated with Kenneth Cole. He commented based on his expertise on the subject.
Kenneth Cole did not respond to press inquiries.
Mobile sharing
Kenneth Cole pushed the contest via an SMS message that read, "Timing is everything. Share your perfect moment for a chance to win big today."
The SMS message includes a link to a campaign-specific page on Kenneth Cole's mobile site that explains how the campaign works.
Every week, consumers can win either Kenneth Cole watches or gift cards.
To participate in the Perfect Timing campaign, consumers fill out a mobile form that includes contact information such as their name, phone number and date of birth. Users also must specify on how they want to enter the sweepstakes through either email, Twitter or Instagram.
Photos submitted via Twitter and Instagram must include the hashtag #KCPerfectTiming. Photos can also be emailed to [email protected]
Promotion for the campaign is being pushed out via Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
The campaign runs through Jan. 17.
Submitted photos for the campaign on Instagram
Social buzz
With the growth in the photo sharing space, more brands are tapping mobile for contests and sweepstakes.
In this case, Kenneth Cole is able to target a group of interested consumers by sending out a time-sensitive SMS message.
SMS remains a workhorse in mobile because of its reach, meaning that it is a great channel for marketers to get the word out about new campaigns and promotions.
Besides SMS, Kenneth Cole has dipped its toes into several other mobile channels.
Earlier this year, the brand placed QR codes on a Father's Day-themed newspaper ad to drive mobile commerce sales for the holiday (see story).
Most recently, Kenneth Cole partnered with Rock the Vote on a line of tote bags that included a pin with a QR code that encouraged consumers to register to vote (see story).
"Marketers will need a multichannel approach and pick the channel or channels that suit their target audience and overall go-to-market strategy," Mr. Stovall said.
Final Take
Lauren Johnson is associate reporter on Mobile Commerce Daily, New York

Click here to view this resume
Making a good first impression doesn't start in the interview room. It starts with your resume, which can do a bad job if it's full of mistakes. Commonly made mistakes are a problem for many applicants, so it's a great idea to check out resume samples before sending your resume off to an employer. To get started, check out what our experts had to say about this regional sales manager resume sample.
Flesh out the summary section for full benefit
A professional summary is easier to understand if it's looked at like a sales pitch, where an applicant gets full control over how their experience, traits, skills, and education is looked at. It should always be taken advantage of because it gives this free opportunity for applicants to sell their best assets. Bryan includes some great information in his summary, but it isn't long enough and it doesn't sell all of his capabilities well enough. He needs to make sure it is lengthened to four to six lines.
Check the accomplishment section for these guidelines
An accomplishments section is a great way to show off notable achievements that an applicant has accumulated over their career. However, this section must include three entries. Because this area only includes two entries, the entire section should be removed. Those two details can be placed under the job they belong to as a detail.
Include enough job information
Each job entry in the experience section needs to have between five and eight details. This gives employers a good deal of information about your training and experience. Bryan falls short of this requirement all of his jobs, so he needs to include duties, projects, or metric data to satisfy employers.
Remember to bullet your job details
Bullet points are one of those resume elements that can't be ignored and can't be left out. They are necessary for creating clarity, especially in areas that become a mess with information quickly.

High frequency atmospheric drone. A little overdriven. This sample was created using the Reaktor ensemble Metaphysical Function from Native Instruments. It was further edited (fades, transposed, pitch bended, ...) within Cubase SX and processed using two reverb VST effects: a convolution reverb (the freeware SIR) with impulses from Spirit Canyon Audio and a conventional digital reverb from my TC Electronic Powercore Firewire (MegaVerb). At last the sample was normalised. The format is 16 bit 44.1 kHz wav.
usualy im not so lazy and i prefer to create the sounds for myself but here i have to grab some! ;-)

Mr g
About the Book
Mr g
So begins Alan Lightman's playful and profound new novel, Mr g, the story of Creation as told by God. Barraged by the constant advisements and bickerings of Aunt Penelope and Uncle Deva, who live with their nephew in the shimmering Void, Mr g proceeds to create time, space, and matter. Then come stars, planets, animate matter, consciousness, and, finally, intelligent beings with moral dilemmas. Mr g is all powerful but not all knowing and does much of his invention by trial and error.
Even the best-laid plans can go awry, and Mr g discovers that with his creation of space and time come some unforeseen consequences—especially in the form of the mysterious Belhor, a clever and devious rival. An intellectual equal to Mr g, Belhor delights in provoking him: Belhor demands an explanation for the inexplicable, requests that the newly created intelligent creatures not be subject to rational laws, and maintains the necessity of evil. As Mr g watches his favorite universe grow into maturity, he begins to understand how the act of creation can change himself, the Creator.

Removal of Bartholin's Gland
May 9th, 2012
I had a Bartholin's cyst about 11 months ago and now i felt it again sunday but it was the size of 1/2 a golf ball by monday and yesterday morning. The discomfort was getting worse over time I took voltaren 100mg yesterday after 11 am and by 2pm i felt it easing. By 6pm i noticed that the cyst was no longer there but the fluid moved to the labia, it is extremely swollen, but there is no discomfort at all. Now i have thick white discharge this morning.
Can i have a Bartholin's cyst and a yeast infection the same time or did the cyst burst and i developed the yeast infection after?

Welcome to ehealthforum,
It is possible to have vaginal infection along with Bartholin's gland duct infection. Getting a vaginal swab/smear test done on the altered vaginal discharge that you describe will help to identify the causative agent. Visit your doctor/gynecologist for further examination and evaluation to look for the underlying cause. Treatment as appropriate (based on examination findings and investigations results) would be started to help you control the symptoms. Be in regular monitoring and follow-up with your treating doctor/gynecologist and report any new/abnormal symptoms immediately. Drink plenty of water. Take adequate rest. Maintain healthy diet and lifestyle.
Take care.

Jordan, Kuwait Initial Draft FTA Agreement
Jordan and Kuwait on Tuesday initialed a draft free trade agreement (FTA) that will eliminate tariffs on two-way trade when it enters into force early next year, the Jordan Times reported Wednesday.
Samer Tawil, the secretary general of trade and industry ministry, said the Jordanian-Kuwaiti Preparatory Committee concluded its meetings in Amman by signing the FTA, which is expected to be endorsed soon by the trade ministers of both sides.
The pact, according to Tawil, will replace the 1986 bilateral trade protocol as "it no longer complies with the World Trade Organization's rules or meets legislative developments in both countries."
The meetings, co-headed by Tawil and his Kuwait counterpart Bader Abdul Rahim, discussed means of enhancing the flow of goods and boosting exports between the two states, whose trade balance does not exceed $50 million annually, the Amman-based paper said.
The talks also involved cooperation in taxation, clearance and transportation.
Jordanian-Kuwaiti fences were mended last year after they had been severed for a decade since the Gulf War – Albawaba.com

Prep Time: 35 mins
wikiHow to Make Southern Chocolate Pie
A rich, creamy chocolate reminiscent of old-fashioned Southern home cooking! A delicious pie that can make your day!
Prep Time: 35 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Ready In: 1 hour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 1/3 cups white sugar
- 12 fluid ounces evaporated milk
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 9 inch pie shell, baked
- 3 egg whites
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 6 tablespoons white sugar
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2Sift together the cocoa powder and the flour and pour them into a saucepan. Whisk the egg yolks and 1 1/3 cups sugar. Gradually add the evaporated milk, whisking constantly; slowly pour the milk mixture into the saucepan, whisking until combined.
3Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a flat-bottomed wooden spoon or spatula, until the mixture begins to thicken and coats the back of the spoon, about 15 minutes. Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the butter until melted. Pour the filling into the baked pie crust.
4To make the meringue topping: Combine the egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean glass or metal bowl; beat with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add sugar, a tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks. Spread the meringue over the chocolate filling.
5Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the tips of the meringue peaks are golden brown.

Campaigners fighting for the reopening of the pool at Houghton Regis Leisure Centre were thrilled to hear it will be back in the swim this year.
The pool is set to reopen once it is refurbished, now that Central Beds Council has awarded a new management contract for the centre to Stevenage Leisure.
The firm will also manage leisure/sports centres in Biggleswade, Flitwick and Sandy.
Bruce Hallam, of the Houghton Regis Leisure Centre Action Group, said: "We've worked so hard to get to this point, and would like to thank our members, local town councillors, our MP and many schools in the area for their continued support. We are thrilled that the best possible solution has been reached.
"We can't wait for the pool to reopen, knowing that all sectors of the community will benefit, from the very young to the very old."
Central Beds executive councillor Brian Spurr said: "When we did our £100k refurbishment of the Houghton Regis gym, the user numbers shot up and people were really impressed with the facility.
"The swimming pool was the one sticking point and now Stevenage Leisure Ltd have shown us that it's viable, it'll be fantastic to open it again.
"We'll also be investing in the pool-side facilities to really make it a great centre.
"We've worked closely with both Houghton Regis Town Council and the Leisure Centre Action Group to get to this point and we've really appreciated their support and input."
Houghton town clerk Clare Evans said the town council wished to thank Central Beds Council "for listening to the community of Houghton Regis".
> A public meeting about the latest news will be held this week by the Houghton Regis Leisure Centre Action Group. The meeting is at 7.30pm tomorrow, Thursday, January 9, at Hawthorn Park Community Primary School, Parkside Drive, Houghton.

In exactly three weeks, I will be boarding the Southwest Chief to Los Angeles to see Nate and Celi get married. To prepare, I will take out my suitcase, open it, and stare at it until the night before I leave, which is probably when I will actually begin packing.
In the meantime, I feel like a totally valid way to get ready is to watch movies that take place on trains. Or at least feature trains in some way or another.
I love that part at the beginning of The Harvey Girls where Judy Garland, after giving her last crust of bread to a greedy little girl, gets adopted by some women on their way out west to work in a Harvey House restaurant. Unfortunately, that sequence is not available on YouTube, but the clip of the company singing "On The Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe" is.
Clearly, what I need to pack for this trip are bonnets. Shitloads of bonnets and my dancing shoes, as I intend to get down with whatever goofy yet endearing cowboy greets me at Union Station come September.
Assuming there is no cowboy come to call for me, I'm going to ask Christina (who is letting me sleep on her couch durnig my visit, for those nights I am not staying at the O Hotel) if she can have Marty come pick me up instead.

"Pride is one of the largest stumbling blocks in not only a Christian's life, but even a worldly life. God's principles work EVERYWHERE. That's another reason to believe in Him."
""In life we may find obstacles placed in our paths. These stumbling blocks are not to stop us, but a call to gain courage and strength in dealing with these problems." ~Tom Baker"
"If you don't like the way getting hit feels, then block it or better yet, don't be there in the first place."
"There are times when my well runs dry, the words won't come, and my creative spirit behind the words has gone quiet. I know that if I wait patiently the voice will return."
"Being confused about you're own insecurity's, when other people turn out to be not what they seem, also makes you wonder where you would be without all you're mental blocks...."
"If you see something wrong, and you know it is wrong, and you see others believing it as a truth, then please DO say it is wrong. You will get hated sometimes, or even be blocked, but it's better than being part of the wrong."


text: Editorials The boycott dilemma May 12, 2014 Share 1 -- We're not big believers in travel boycotts to solve the world's problems. As we've pointed out before, they often do a lot of damage to innocent bystanders. Boycotting a destination because of some failing of its government, for example, often means reduced earnings for service workers who depend on tourism for their livelihoods. Still, we understand the impulse, especially now. The latest boycott to hit the headlines involves the upscale Dorchester Collection, which includes the Beverly Hills Hotel and Hotel Bel-Air in California as well as its namesake Dorchester in London and other luxury properties in Europe. Nobody has a quarrel with the management, but they have a big gripe with the owner, the sovereign wealth fund of Brunei, a country that has decided to institute sharia law, under which the maximum penalty for homosexual sex would be death by stoning. This is indeed alarming enough to warrant protest, even for those disinclined to participate in a boycott. Because Brunei presents few visible targets in the U.S., the hotels are in the spotlight. This has prompted Dorchester Collection CEO Christopher Cowdray to note that employees don't get to choose their owners, and shouldn't have to suffer. In an interview with the entertainment industry publication Variety, he suggested that protesters turn their attention to official Washington, which might be in a position to actually do something. That is a fair suggestion, but as of last week the U.S. didn't seem to be doing much. A State Department spokesman revealed at a briefing last week that Secretary of State John Kerry "has not spoken with the sultan since the law was announced. Our ambassador has relayed our concerns privately to the government of Brunei." Meanwhile, no warning or advisory was posted to the department's travel pages, which as of last week stated matter-of-factly that "Brunei's Sharia Criminal Code, which has not yet been implemented, increases the possible penalty for men convicted in Sharia court of having sex with another man to a maximum penalty of death by stoning and lesser penalties of caning and imprisonment of up to seven years." The statement adds that "punishment for LGBT sex acts has not been actively enforced." That may be, but maybe it's time for the diplomats to take this to the next level, before Brunei does.

Global internet media company Yahoo is scheduled to report its next set of earnings on Jan. 28.
YHOO stock continues to act well despite the recent news of the departure of a senior employee. The company's CEO Marissa Mayer reportedly fired her COO Henrique de Castro after a various disputes, and the firm is now looking to bring two new directors on board.
Since my last take on YHOO stock on Dec. 11th[1], the shares have traded marginally higher, but without much allure to the trading community. As I discussed at the time, YHOO stock had a great run in 2013, doubling in value but needed to consolidate before it could increase the odds of another move higher.
Over the past month the stock has done just that, and with a little over one week to go until earnings, it looks like investors are waiting for the earnings announcement to pass before making any major decisions about YHOO stock.
Through the lens of the long-term chart, YHOO stock thus remains at the same spot it was in my last update, namely churning below the major resistance line that dates back to late 2005. Given the long-term standing of his resistance area, I am not expecting the resistance to break without a fight. I think more time is needed for the stock to coil up before it can break out, with the earnings date being a potential catalyst.
When I look at the daily chart of YHOO stock, I continue to see positive price action, although the momentum seems to be waning (see the stochastic oscillator on the below chart). Both from a trading and investment standpoint, I am now waiting for the earnings report, considering the stock's large run-up last year and its standing on the long- and near-term charts.
On the daily chart, YHOO stock is now dancing on a support line, which previously acted as a resistance line of the up-trend and now makes the stock vulnerable. More often than not, a stock trading above a major trend-channel needs to consolidate before it can move higher again from a better base.
So if you're looking at YHOO stock, wait for the earnings report. Then we'll have a much better idea of where the stock is likely to move next.

Sneak-peek into a book by Debbie Cowens
Guest post by Debbie Cowens
• How does a typical book get written in your world - what do you start with?
Every story is different for me. Sometimes I'll have a just a small seed of an idea and it'll just lurk in the back of my mind for days or weeks, slowly germinating and growing into a proper storyline with characters and plotlines. Other times the idea is close to fully formed as soon as I think of it. A lot of times novels come out of short story ideas that expanded and became more complex than I anticipated. I usually don't write up a complete plot summary before I get started; I just know where to start and where it's going to end up but the middle is a bit of a mystery.
A few years ago I did Nanowrimo and for that I made a detailed plot outline for every chapter in advance but I didn't find it made writing any easier and it didn't really suit my style. I enjoy pondering plot issues and toying with how characters might react depending on how things go in my non-writing hours of the days. I like it when my characters do things I haven't anticipated and create curly problems for me; trying to untangle those surprising encounters or plot twists is a lot of fun, sort of like solving a cryptic crossword only you can do when you're unloading the dishwasher, taking a shower or going for a run.
• How would you compare the protagonists of your books with yourself?
I'm rather dull and boring in comparison to any book character. Generally my protagonists are much more assertive than me and are far more likely to get involved in mysteries, adventures or conflict. I'm non-confrontation and try to avoid anything that might involve danger, awkward social situations, spiders or heavy-lifting. Little bits and pieces of my own experiences will end up in things that I write and some of my characters have been loosely inspired by people I know.
• How would you typically choose the names of your characters?
It's different every time. Sometimes characters spring into existence with their names and personalities already formed. Other times I've spend a long time deliberating over what name to give a certain character. It can be tough. It's easier to know that's a name is wrong and doesn't fit a character than it is to put your finger on the right one.
With Murders and Matchmaking the characters are all inspired from Jane Austen works and Sherlock Holmes stories so the genesis of the names like Mr Sherlock Darcy are rather obvious.
• What's that one Classic work that you wish had been written by you?
Frankenstein, Bleak House, The Portrait of Dorian Gray, Jane Eyre… so many to choose from!
I suppose Pride and Prejudice does stand out for me as it's probably the classic I've re-read the most times and I think the characterisation in it is perfection. Elizabeth Bennet has to be my favourite heroine – she's smart, witty, kind, active, observant, and yet still flawed and makes mistakes. The unpleasant characters like the nasty, snobbish Caroline Bingley and the superior control-freak Lady Catherine de Bourgh are both thoroughly believable and yet humorously awful in the terrible things they say. I don't think I've read a character has me more cringe more than Mr Collins and his proposal to Elizabeth is hideous.
The other classic I would have loved to have written is The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde, although it's more a novella than novel. I love Oscar Wilde's writing; the beauty of his use of language and his clever humour. The set-up of this story is perfect to show off his talents – the gothic macabre meets satirical wit. Canterville Chase is a haunted country house in England is bought by a wealthy American family and the traditional ghost Sir Simon de Canterville has to contend with their modern ways. I really like how Wilde expresses the ghost's perspective:
With the enthusiastic egotism of the true artist he went over his most celebrated performances, and smiled bitterly to himself as he recalled to mind his last appearance as Red Reuben, or the Strangled Babe, his début as Gaunt Gibeon, the Blood-sucker of Bexley Moor, and the furore he had excited one lovely June evening by merely playing ninepins with his own bones upon the lawn-tennis ground. And after all this, some wretched modern Americans were to come and offer him the Rising Sun Lubricator, and throw pillows at his head! It was quite unbearable. Besides, no ghost in history had ever been treated in this manner. Accordingly, he determined to have vengeance, and remained till daylight in an attitude of deep thought.
One of things I love about the story is how much I ended up sympathising with the ghost despite him being a murderer hell-bent on terrorising people who is also rather pompous. The ending of the story is actually quite sweet and moving.
• How would you deal with reviews?
There are so many great books and stories around that anyone choosing to read your book and taking the time to review is paying you a huge compliment in that alone. Getting a good review is certainly something to celebrate with much glee and merriment. I wish I could say I was the type of person who wouldn't mind getting a bad review but I tend to get a little wounded by criticism. I think as a writer you just have to write the stories you want to read and hope that there's other readers out there who will like it too and focus on the people who say they enjoy your writing more than those who don't. Having said that, I can see that maybe a slightly negative review might offer some insights into what to do better next time which is valuable information for the writer – once they've recovered from their weeping and bitter objections.
• What's your favourite writing location?
I write in the dining room on the table – not during meals usually. I wouldn't trust myself not to spill my food on my laptop. I usually write first thing in the morning before my son gets up so it's a nice quiet space at the far end of the house from the bedrooms. It also gets the morning light so it's a nice to be there at that time of day.
• What awesome books and projects are you working in at the moment?
I'm currently finishing the final edits of Murders and Matchmaking which will be published in 2015 and then I will spend the Christmas holidays working on finishing a kids book The Land beneath the Shadows which is a sort of horror/fantasy adventure novel about a young girl whose little sister gets kidnapped by a closet monster on Christmas Eve and she has to venture into the Shadow world to rescue her sister. I also have a few short stories ideas swirling around at the moment so I'm hoping to get a chance to write those as well.

I have a odd question that i can't seem to find the answer to. I have a RHT387H bought from the UK and have now moved to Australia, I now can't use it to watch or record t.v. Through my efforts I have managed to unlock it to play Australian DVD's but i can't seem to tune it to the Australian T.V broadcasting frequency's.
Any help would appreciated.

Are you trying analogue or digital freeview tuning?
Not being Australian I can't say why but I believe analogue-to-digital switchover is still in a transitional state in many areas.
If all else fails, maybe buy a cheap freeview box and link it to the LG with scart or relevant cables.

I am trying digital tv. Here in Perth analogue has been switched off. And buying a cheap set top box would defeat the purpose of it as the program guides to record stuff wouldn't come through. Some of the frequencys that the box is capable of is only 0.5MHz off but others are a long way off but without being able to pick up the tv channels it's just a fancy DVD player

A sun-washed, breezy afternoon on the Eiffel Tower, and Duran Duran's 15th video is aborning—this one, a romp keyed to the theme music for the Bond thriller, A View to a Kill, a song that will hit No. 1 by midsummer. Playing undercover agents armed with an arsenal of Bond-style weapons, rock's most fabulous faces will give chase as a black-robed Grace Jones (an assassin) tries to take a flying leap from the tower. Keyboardist Nick Rhodes, 23—slight, pale, with arresting green eyes and perfect, pouty lips—leans on a rail on a second-tier catwalk, sucking on the forefinger that was burned when a prop malfunctioned. Ignoring the heights, Simon Le Bon, 26, the group's strapping lead singer, swings on the iron struts as if he were a kindergartner on a jungle gym. Simon has a speaking part in this opus, and he repeats his line mock dramatically, as the 007 of rock. "Bon." Pause. "Simon Le Bon."
On the landing just below the directors, Lol Creme and Kevin Godley, shout genial instructions at John Taylor, 25, who is behind a telescope fitted up with a hidden machine gun.
"Okay, start with a nice tight shot, start with the trigger finger," Creme says. Looking self-conscious, the tall, supernally handsome John squints into the eyepiece and gingerly shakes the telescope as if firing.
Godley stalks over, grabs the gadget and rattles the bejesus out of it, making little-boy war-game noises. "Oh, God, oh, yes," Creme shouts. The Frenchmen on the crew look perfectly blank; the Brits erupt in laughter.
When John seizes the contraption again, he rat-a-tats it for all he's worth, doing an apt send-up of Godley. Everyone on the landing applauds, and Simon and Nick, who are finished for the day, abandon their perch and head for the vehicules des loisirs (a/k/a Winnebagos) parked below. "How do we get out of here?" Nick asks idly. "Do we have to get in a lift with a lot of school-kids?" Before anyone can respond, a cry rises from the landing. Laughter, groans and a shout from Godley: "You've got to have film in the camera, you know."
While their work may look like play, videos are a serious business for Duran Duran: A less photogenic quintet might not have made it solely on the strength of revved up Muzak like Rio. With the help of expensively produced clips set in Sri Lanka and Sydney and Antigua, Simon, Nick, John and confreres Andy Taylor and Roger Taylor (none of the Taylors is related) have become millionaires with a string of commercial—if not critical—triumphs: four best-selling albums, hit singles, like last winter's The Wild Boys, and two world tours that had their multitudinous groupies fainting in the aisles from Europe to Japan. At last weekend's high-profile Live Aid concert (a sprawling benefit whose proceeds will be used to combat hunger in famine-stricken Africa), the prettiest boys in rock were allotted a respectable chunk of stage time—as Duran Duran, and also as Power Station, an independent project of Andy's and John's that teams them with vocalist Michael DesBarres and Chic drummer Tony Thompson.
The uninitiated, of course, may have trouble distinguishing one Duran from another; their common-denominator good looks have a certain hypnotic quality, and the band lacks a Jagger-style cynosure. But behind the tangle of Taylors are five discreet performers with a wealth of idiosyncracies—and yes, intelligence: Simon, the compulsive adventurer; John, the loquacious charmer; Nick, the savvy peacock; Andy, the rebel-turned-family man; and Roger, the stolid rocker. As the prepubescent set knows, Simon, John and Nick are first among equals; Andy and Roger are more comfortable in the background.
They live, variously, in Paris, New York, London and the English countryside, and they may go for weeks without seeing one another. Conflicts arise within the band, but the group is held together by its collective ambition. During the three-day shoot in Paris, they assembled in one city for the first time in two months, and like the members of any family they quickly lapsed into their given roles.
A lot of people see the wrong side of Nick. I don't think I've seen him without makeup in five years, and you could find him very pretentious. But he's actually quite straightforward.
Roger Taylor
When John Taylor, 11, met 10-year-old Nick (then Nicholas Bates), it was at a swap meet where kids in their Birmingham suburb were trading pictures of rock stars. Even then their tastes were remarkably similar. Both were devotees of glam rockers like T. Rex and Gary Glitter ("We wouldn't buy records by ugly groups," says John), and they often bought the same clothes even when they shopped alone. Another thing they shared was a complete lack of interest in making music. When Nick left school at 16 and the two decided to start a band, "we had vivid ideas of what we wanted to look and sound like," Rhodes says, "but we looked at the instruments and said, 'Do we have to learn to play these things?' "
Sitting on a lime-green banquette in the Winnebago where the group performs its toilette, Rhodes speaks slowly, almost sleepily, in marked contrast to his dandified demeanor. He is wearing a baggy white silk suit, and a makeup artist has prepared him for the video camera with plum blush, black eye pencil and liner by Clinique and coral lipstick by Christian Dior.
"I don't like the clichés about rock," Rhodes is saying. "Drugs, fast women, not working, partying all night and looking like you're 55 when you're 22. People don't understand how hard we work. We're constantly under a horrendous time pressure. Once an album's done, there's a video and a photo session—it never ends."
Though a tad flamboyant—this is a man who celebrated his marriage to American department store heiress Julie Anne Friedman, 26, with a rococo reception at the Savoy that featured live pink flamingos—Nick has a strong sense of family. His parents, Sylvia and Roger Bates (a contractor), are ringleaders in the "Durannies parents' association," as Nick calls it. "There are a lot of people who don't talk to them now, and some who've started talking to them because of us," Nick reports. "When they walk around the corner to get a Sunday roast, somebody always says [he affects a crabby tone], 'We hear your son takes cocaine.' "
And while Rhodes (an only child) still visits Birmingham, the grimy town where Duran Duran was born seems a little more alien every time. "You try to keep your friends, but it sounds like name-dropping when you talk about what you've been doing and who with. It's only been five or six years since we left," Nick says, "but they've been incredibly long years."
John's great with his mouth.
Andy Taylor
By reputation, John is the playboy of Duran Duran, the buoyant, voluble sensualist who parades a different model past the paparazzi every night. A Fleet Street favorite, he has turned up in the tabloids discussing one-night stands, and his words have come back to haunt him. Ensconced in a lavish hotel suite ripe with the smells of sweat and cologne, Taylor is the engaging, self-indulgent, little-boy charmer. Half-full packages of Cadbury's chocolate biscuits, copies of Architectural Digest and Interview, a videocassette of Body Heat and unmatched dirty socks are strewn about him. It is two full hours until dinnertime, and he is working on a takeout lunch to tide him over: whole wheat rolls, chicken salad, coleslaw and oversize tomatoes that he is tearing into as if they were apples. "I'll probably regret having this conversation," he says. "Not only do I eat too much chocolate, but I talk too much. But now I read some of the things I've said and they look cheap."
Taylor admits that some of his public revelations have been prompted by entrepreneurial impulse: "Being a rock star is like putting a sign in a window, 'For Sale.' I did an interview with Penthouse and they said, 'What's your idea of a great woman?' I said, 'Someone who could tie me up and whip me and make great bacon sandwiches.' It's part of playing to the gallery."
Still, John is no mere exhibitionist. One of Duran's most accomplished musicians, he collaborated with Andy et al on Power Station's hard-driving, funk-inspired album, and the LP—which went gold shortly after its U.S. release in March—has given him a credibility denied him as a Duran.
If there's anything that disturbs him, it's the threat of losing his perspective. Moving to New York, where he has an apartment on the Upper West Side, has helped. So has keeping in touch with his mom, Jean. "Sometimes I think, 'Oh, God, man, I've been through so much in the last five years. But when you stop listening to your mother, you're really up the junction.' "
And while he'll still flog himself to push the band, he's trying to "cultivate a sense of vagueness" now. "I used to open up at the drop of a glass. I think I have to maintain some mystery." John refuses even to identify his current lover (reportedly, Danish model Renee Simonson). "She's above all the public discussion, and if I start talking about [the affair], it will seem like every other relationship I've had."
It's difficult to imagine Taylor practicing moderation in any form. "I'm a bit flashy," John says. He is sitting in the window now, his glossy black locks stirring in the breeze. "But I can switch to pensive if you like…." Simon is the adventurer—he does things just because they're hard.
Roger Taylor
At first glance Le Bon is an unlikely pop idol. The black brogans and white socks that he favors give him a farm-boy mien, and his short blond hair accentuates the pudginess of his cheeks. (He was once known to the band as "Lardo.") Lying on his belly in the grassy park beneath the Eiffel Tower, he seems unaffected—more the straightforward craftsman than the guarded artiste. But there is an unexpected courtliness about him. Simon is the Duran who doles out hugs and opens doors for females of all ages.
"If you can imagine an English Teri Shields, that was my mum," he says. "She wanted me to fulfill her ambitions. She was a brilliant singer who got married to my dad [a water utilities executive of Hugenot ancestry] at 17 and had me at 18. When I was a little boy she put me in the choir at Pinner Parish church, and I later did my first record—O for the Wings of a Dove and Ave Verum."
At 6, Simon made his debut as a model; later Anne hustled her oldest son into commercials, plays and TV shows. But Simon was never a mama's boy. As an adolescent he cultivated a certain rebelliousness. "I never knew the good kids; they were at home playing soldiers while I was experimenting with the darker side of human nature."
Skipping off to Israel after graduating from high school, he worked on a kibbutz for several months until he was accepted into Birmingham University. He ditched his drama studies after a year. "I got really drunk at a party where there were a lot of drama queens and I decided I'd had enough."
Having heard that a local band called Duran Duran was looking for a front man, Le Bon—with exactly one performance as a rock singer behind him—arranged to meet Nick and got the job, at least partly because his pink leopard-skin trousers made an indelible impression on Rhodes. "My mother said, 'Well, Simon, anything you want to do, but don't you think it's too bad to give up drama studies for something as frivolous as this?' "
What Simon does take seriously is sailing. He will spend nearly four months at sea beginning next winter, crewing on his yacht in the fiercely competitive Whitbread Round the World Race, and he talks about the joys of being a nomad. "It's like being a stream of water…you're not vulnerable the way you are when you have a fixed abode." Not the sort of life that makes it easy to sustain a relationship—he has a three-year involvement with live-in lover Claire Stansfield, a 20-year-old Canadian model—but Simon shrugs off the risks. "You just say, 'Look, I'm going to disappear for a while. Soldiers' wives are used to it, sailors' wives. Pop stars' girlfriends are used to it as well."
Which is not to say that Simon isn't a romantic. About his current disenchantment with drugs—an early enthusiasm—he says dreamily, "The worst thing they do is diminish your ability to savor sex. The thing I like is that time when you almost touch souls. Not that French crap about 'Let's make love under the stars…' I hate that. I just think sex feels so good."
Andy's a rebel.
Duran Duran press agent
Nick Underwood
At 11, Andy Taylor came home from school one day to find that his mother had left the ramshackle family home in the fishing town of Whitley Bay. "I was the only one at school without a mother, and I grew up young," he says. By 13, he had joined a rock band and was staying out all night, partying and playing music.
Only a little sun is coming through the window of the Winnebago, but Andy—in a knee-length Kansai jacket that makes him look even shorter than his 5'9″—is masked by dark glasses precisely like Simon's. "I'm very anti the system," he says. "I don't want to fit in, and I won't answer to anybody about anything. I don't give a crap about image…if I want to get drunk and dance on the table, tough. There's no way I'll turn into Michael Jackson. Is it worth having $100 million and not having your own life?"
At this point, it would seem, Taylor's life is his own: He has a wife (Tracy, once the group's hairdresser), a 10-month-old son and the freedom to brush critics aside. By his own reckoning he is one of the biggest landowners in Great Britain—his holdings include a London loft, a couple of thousand acres in Scotland and a 16th-century cottage on a wooded farm in Shropshire. For Andy the hard part of his job is spending so much time away from his wife and child. Duran Duran was on its six-month world tour while he and Tracy were preparing for the arrival of Andrew James (known as Andy or Bear), and Taylor spent his free time absorbing books on childbirth and parenthood. He was on hand for the birth, when "all the nurses were looking at me instead of my wife."
For all his rebelliousness, Taylor can sound remarkably conservative: "I love the idea of taking care of my wife as a husband, and I love the Royal Family. We've met Diana and Charles at charity do's, and they were sparkling."
Roger—he's dead quiet, like a rock, a firm character.
Andy Taylor
When Roger was at school in Birmingham, he was "the quiet one who sat in the back." The position suited him, and it's easy to see the shy schoolboy in him still. Behind the splashy Claude Montana jacket and the modish spiked haircut is a musician who finds his fame "quite unreal."
Late on a Friday afternoon the three-day Eiffel Tower shoot is over. Roger is glad to see it end. ("It's been hectic—waiting around with gel caking in your hair.") Sitting in a park where the shadows are lengthening and swans are gliding over a little pond, he says: "When I was about 15, I was in a band called Crucified Toad. My parents wanted to settle me down. But my father worked in the car industry on an assembly line, and the idea of taking an eight-hour-a-day job scared me. And drumming was the only thing I could do. I tried other jobs, but I always got the sack."
In 1978 he auditioned for Duran Duran. He was attracted to the group as much for its style as for its sound. Although bashful offstage, he had no problems with wearing makeup or decking himself out in the requisite performing regalia. "I'd be into fashion even if I wasn't into music." The fame that descended in 1981 has been more than Roger bargained for. His 1984 marriage provoked a barrage of hate mail, and he and the former Giovanna Cantone are moving from their spacious North London house because "every fan in Great Britain has found it."
Like the others, Roger has begun to branch out as a musician. Recently he began working in Paris with Simon, Nick and an all-star backup roster including Sting and former Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmore on an LP that will be released this October. That project fueled rumors that the band was headed for a breakup.
"Even my mum's worried now. Every time she rings up she says, 'Are you all going to split up?' "Roger laughs. "A lot of people think this is the end of the band, but that's rubbish—we start a new album in September. We may do things outside the group, but Duran Duran is the most important thing in our lives. It controls our lives, whether we like it or not."
They will go their separate ways tomorrow. But for now the five are together on the steps of a walkway bordering the Seine, posing for a group shot with the Eiffel Tower at their backs. A jostling horde of photographers is huddled at their feet, and it takes no more than three minutes for a crowd of fans to materialize. The girls hang back, shyly watching every move; while Nick arranges his lips into the proper wry pout, Andy sticks out his chin, John offers a pinup-perfect smile, Roger stares down the cameras, and Simon manages to flirt with every female within shouting range. "It's a rotten job," John says later, "but we figure somebody's got to do it."

"We have tried some new parts on the car today, but the lap times have not really allowed us to have a fair conclusion of them yet. It was important to have a clean practice today and I'm happy with what we did. The conditions will change again for Sunday I think; it was a bit cooler today, which will make a difference. It's close between the teams and it's not yet clear what the right strategy is for Sunday, hopefully we can make a step forward tomorrow."
Mark Webber, P1 – 1:40.984, 3rd; P2 – 1:39.901, 9th
"The car's working well, but there are areas where we can improve. I was happier on the harder tyre, the balance on the soft tyres wasn't great today, but we'll work on that tonight. The wind was playing a role today – but there will be less tomorrow. Regarding changes we've made to the car, we'll know on Sunday if they're working well for us. The circuit will get a bit quicker as we lay rubber down, and it will get a bit hotter as well, so let's see."
