Comments about BILLABONG ICONIC BOARDSHORT YELLOW:
So bright and So vivid! It is more like a triple rainbow than a double rainbow. The colors stand out. The fabric is very comfortable and stretchy. It has a pull string in case you have too many beers and need to let out the waste a bit. Love these!

The most important factor to understand is expected usage of the treadmill. Each one of our treadmills is built for commercial or institutional use. A treadmill that is used more than it is rated for may not perform properly and may break down or fail prematurely. The more use a treadmill gets, the more effort required of the motor, and the more wear on the frame, belt, and rollers. |

After back-to-back years at or near double-digit growth, the U.S. travel market hit a plateau in 2012 and is projected to climb, though slowly, in 2013.

I've been meaning to say something for a while now, but I decided to let it go. I feel like I have to say something now, because it feels like you just seek out certain threads to cause trouble @augusta_lee. It's true that some of the posts were culturally insensitive, but you are not helping anyone by responding in that way. Pretty much any post where you mention more than just a list of names, you are saying something negative and hurtful. Ignoring you seems to work all right for me, but it does get tiring.
In answer to the OP: I think it is great that you are more interested in Asian cultures because of anime. Does it really matter how you gain an interest in something, as long as you are interested? And isn't it unfair to shortchange "cartoons" in Japanese culture, if you're so interested in the cultural integrity? I took an elective course in high school called Asian Studies, where we studied the history of culture of Asia, focusing on China, Japan, and Korea.
Some of my favorite names come from the Japanese culture (I'll focus on boys, since you do not have many):
Ken'ichi (ok, so this is because of Matsuyama, the actor. If you haven't seen any of his films, I recommend them!)
Kaoru (unisex)Eleanor Vivian, Matilda Hermione, Ruby Clementine, Greta Gwendolen & Alice MarcelineSamuel Wyatt, Eldridge Hiram, Roland Ezra, Oskar Tobias & George David
August 31st, 2013 03:42 PM #14
Thanks for the support everyone; I really didn't mean to cause all the fuss. I just used 'Asian' in general to get a variety of countries represented, instead of just one or two countries. Anyhoo, I'm half Chinese, so I've always been interested in the Eastern Asian countries, and anime just opened my eyes to Japanese culture since I live in America.
And I love all the names listed so far!~inside this teenberry's mind ~~Please vote on constantly changing middle name possibilities (updated 11/27/13)

Not Quite Hollywood - The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation - DVD
Filmmaker Mark Hartley explores Australia's hidden genre in this documentary that casually casts aside "official" film history to celebrate the demented genius of director Brian Trenchard-Smith, and the exciting wave of little-known but supremely entertaining films that entertained adventurous Australian filmgoers throughout the 1970s and '80s. Every film student worth his or her weight in celluloid has seen Breaker Morant and Picnic at Hanging Rock, but what about the lesser-known gems that didn't make the film-school textbooks? In his forward to Tim Lucas' book Mario Bava - All the Colors of the Dark, director Martin Scorsese states, "We have to keep resisting the idea of official film history, a stately procession of 'important works' that leaves some of the most exciting films and filmmakers tucked away in the shadows." In this documentary, director Hartley explores the films forgotten by "official film history" with the comprehensive eye of a true film buff. As a child watching such films as Snapshot and The Man from Hong Kong, Hartley immediately recognized how wildly disparate they were in tone and execution from the films that comprised Australia's traditional film library. Appearing like American genre films that just happened to be shot in Australia and cast with Australian actors, these so-called "Ozploitation" flicks flourished in the wake of relaxed censorship laws down under. Yet despite constant chatter about the "new wave" of Australian cinema, financially successful films like The Man from Hong Kong and Patrick that were popular both at home and abroad were never mentioned, sneeringly dismissed as "genre" films rather than Australian films. Perhaps in the wake of such successful Australian films as Wolf Creek and Undead -- and looking ahead to such films as the slasher shocker Storm Warning and the eagerly anticipated remake of Long Weekend -- curious filmgoers are finally prepared to discover what they've been missing all these years. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
What a Girl Wants - DVD
Loosely based on the 1958 comedy The Reluctant Debutante starring Sandra Dee, the family-friendly comedy What a Girl Wants features popular Nickelodeon teen star Amanda Bynes in her first feature-starring performance after her debut in Big Fat Liar. She plays teenager Daphne Reynolds, who lives in New York City with her musician mother, Libby (Kelly Preston). After she turns 17, Daphne is undecided about her future, so she takes off by herself to London in search of her father. She immediately meets cute musician Ian (Oliver James) before sneaking in to her father's estate to surprise him. He turns out to be Lord Henry Dashwood (Colin Firth), a fabulously wealthy aristocrat who doesn't even know that she exists. He had met her mother in Morocco and the two were married in a tribal ceremony. Upon their return to England, she left him and went back to the U.S. without ever revealing that she was pregnant. The uptight Henry is already flustered by his campaign for election, advised by doting aide Alistair Payne (Jonathan Pryce). His no-nonsense fiancée, Glynnis (Anna Chancellor), and her bratty daughter, Clarissa (Christina Cole), are threatened by Daphne's presence, thinking that she will hurt Henry's political aspirations by causing a scandal. However, the family matriarch (Eileen Atkins) takes a liking to her and she soon finds herself trying to liven things up at several stuffy aristocratic parties. Meanwhile, the evil Glynnis and Clarissa conspire against her by trying to sabotage her appearance, leading up to the conclusion at Daphne's very own coming-out party. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
Kagemusha - Blu-ray Disc
Just as many American studio-era directors found acclaim abroad that was denied them in their home country, by 1980 Akira Kurosawa's reputation outside Japan exceeded his esteem at home. As uncompromising as ever, he found considerable difficulty securing backing for his ambitious projects. Unsure he would be able to film it, the director, an aspiring artist before he entered filmmaking, converted Kagemusha into a series of paintings, and it was partly on the basis of these that he won the financial support of longtime admirers Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas. Set in the 16th century, when powerful warlords competed for control of Japan, it offers an examination of the nature of political power and the slipperiness of identity. For some time, Shingen Takeda Tatsuya Nakadai has been able to stay removed from the heat of battle by using his brother Nobukado Tsutomu Yamazaki as a double. As the film opens, Nobukado offers another option, having discovered a condemned thief (also played by Tatsuya Nakadai) bearing an uncanny resemblance to the warlord. After he insists on witnessing the fall of an enemy in person, Shingen falls victim to a sniper's bullet, forcing his advisers to present the thief as the fallen warrior. At first awkward in his new position and plagued by dreams in which the spirit of his double confronts him, he slowly grows into the role even as his enemies begin to advance on his kingdom. The winner of the Palm D'Or at Cannes, Kagemusha: The Shadow Warrior has also been released as The Double. ~ Keith Phipps, All Movie Guide

I agree with you completely Scott. Johnny is, in my opinion, one of the most remarkable living instrumentalists in American music. He's got a completely unique voice on the mandolin. I think his playing is vastly under-credited within the mandolin community.
On that video, notice that he's picking the chords with the backs of his fingernails -- fingers pushing away. Just an amazing player....
I was lucky enough to see him once. What a great musician! Chet Atkins was also on the bill. It was a rare night of music!
At one of the old Black Mountain (NC) Music Festivals, I was lucky enough to be in attendance for a dance --the band was led by Johnny Gimble and included Jethero Burns!

Ha, ha! keep time: how sour sweet music is,

Gimble's fiddle playing on swing and country stuff is absolutely legendary. He is the reason people play five string fiddles. Happy birthday to a living legend.
Just killing it in his livin room.
John H. Duncan

I've seen him play twice with his family band. Such a great musician.
A while back on YouTube there was a link to an old Austin City Limits show with Jethro, Johnny Gimble and Tiny Moore, where they all played "Groovin high" on mandolins with a great break by Johnny. I can't find it there on YouTube any more, maybe somebody else has a link to it somewhere??. It's worth hearing if it can be found!
One of my all time favorite fiddlers! I grew up with him and Bob Wills kickin' it. Happy Birthday, Mr. Gimble.

Happy birthday Johnny Gimble. I know I'm a day late. Also I realize that you probably won't even see this, but If I could play mandolin (or fiddle for that matter) like anyone, I'd want to play like Johnny Gimble. Thanks for all the wonderful music over the years.

You can get the bullet connectors ( and lots of other things ) from Lazertoyz in Cleveland Ohio . http://www.lazertoyz.com/35-mm-Connectors_p_213.html . Dan and Diane are SUPER nice people , I usually just call them on the phone to order , and I'll get my order in the mail 2-3 days later ( and I live on the west coast ! ) . Tell them Al in Vancouver , Washington sent you ! I would use Dollar Tree FB again since the goal is to build light , and the DTFB is quite a bit lighter than Elmers . If you can get the NEKKID SE built and take it along to your friend who flies RC , it would be great if he could trim it for you .

Dan, I can't help thinking you chose two quite difficult planes to start with.I have never fancied a delta because they don't look like a plane to me, and I would have orientation problems as well as control problems.Your first plane,I have only flown one of those pusher floaters on Phoenix but they also seem a bit difficult to control.I suppose to me a beginner plane is one that will glide free flight.So it doesn't need constant control imputs.But i may be wrong about all this.

I have to admit that the delta looks like a big paper airplane, but if that's what it takes to get me flying I'll do it. Heck, if necessary I'll strap feathers on my rump and crow like a rooster... Actually, I'm already planning and scheming. If you cross your eyes a little and squint, the SUPER EASY almost looks a little like my favorite airplane of my youth - the XB-70 Valkyrie. One I get the SE flying, I am wondering if a little cutting, a little gluing, and viola... a SUPER EASY VALKYRIE !!! Ad Astra guys !!! |
Nov 20, 2012, 03:13 AM | |
Dan ,
After you get comfortable flying the SE and the Hawk Sky you could try making one of these - another DTFB plane I designed , and you could probably get it to look like a XB-70 Valkyrie if you extended the nose and put on canards . Flying it is quite a rush since it goes about 80mph ! http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1717147 Al |

NEKKID SE, half done.
Okay, I'm half done with the NEKKID SE. It's a LOT lighter. This time I didn't use three glue sticks to glue the panels together (well, I didn't the first time... but it sure looks like it now), etc. The weight without electronics is 154 grams. The electronics weigh in at 95 grams, so I'm on track for 290 or less (probably a fair amount less).
However, this is not going to be a $1.50 worth of foam. I figure it's gonna cost about $10 in foam... I remembered that there is a Dollar General in a small town only 9 miles from here... so, I went there first. They didn't have any foam board. So, I had to drive to the other close by one... only 20 miles from my home... in the other direction. I get there, and they don't have any foam board. Apparently the local high school is having some event, and all the foam board was bought out. So, I get back in the car... am I going to let this stop me? HECK NO... I'm going to FLY over the holidays !!! PER ASTRA guys !!! Nihil Prohibitio. I say to myself - "I can't let common sense stop me !!! I have WHEELS. Lets drive to the next state". I point the car east and drive 45 miles to West Virginia... and find Dollar Tree Foam board. YAY So, 9 miles + 29 miles + 45 miles + 45 miles + 20 miles.... 148 miles. My Jeep gets about 18 MPG, so, 8.2 gallons of gas... current price around $28 ... So, the 5 sheets of foam board cost about $1 each, plus $5.60 gas... or $6.60 each. BUT, I've got the materials, I'm building, I'm going to be flying or crashing this holiday weekend !!! |

In that mode, I had a thought... I can possibly save a few grams by replacing a solid balsa wood stick motor mount with a composite beam. My guess is that the greatest forces on this beam are going to be a vertical bending moment and torsion. With that in mind, I thought that a foam core faced with balsa would have the properties of a box beam with the added advantage that the foam would somewhat help to resist the dimensional constriction when the box torqued... although I don't hold out a lot of hope for huge strength gains because of that factor... So, I made up such a box beam, and it seems rigid enough... but then again I haven't clamped it into a test stand and tested to destruction. So, I have no clue if this is a known solution, a Really Bad Idea , or a bloody waste of time. I suspect I should just make a NEKKID SE base model, and then go on to rev 2, 3, 4, 5 once I can actually fly something. Suggestions ? And yes, I'm driving to Dayton... with planes, tools, hopes and fears. And a video cam. Ad Astra, per SE |

Beaming Out
[Note: I'd love to credit the source of this image, but I can't for the life of me figure out where I found it!]
The plan was for the WAAGNFNP blog to run for one year, and it saddens me to inform you that we're not quite going to be able to meet that goal.
I'd like to offer my sincerest thanks to my chief blog co-admins christian h. and JP Stormcrow for all their support, hard work, and friendship. Equally heartfelt thanks to James Killus and Kiera who stepped in to help when we needed them most.
To everyone who contributed posts: beyond thanks, let me just say that I'm so proud of the quality of what we've been able to do here and so touched by your participation that it feels like a mini-GNF going off in my heart.
To everyone who participated in the comments and made this so much fun, and to everyone who just lurked: thanks for being here in any way that you were. (Never forget: Gojira sees all!)
And although real-world life (stupid day jobs!) may be impeding on blog life, we assure you, as 3Tops is our witness, the We Are All Giant Nuclear Fireball Now Party lives on!

"Safe" Is Going To Destroy This Country
In the post-9/11 propaganda game, "safe" is even more corrosive to our Constitutional rights and liberties than "War on Terror". Why? Because it's insidious.
Contrary to what the corporate media would have you believe, there's actually a good number of Americans who absolutely understand that a "War on Terror" is not only illogical and impossible, but a hoax designed to consolidate money and power into the hands of a very elite few. By contrast, "safe" actually sounds reasonable on the face of it, and therein lies the danger.
But let's back up.
A few years ago I, along with many others of a progressive mind set, got excited by the news that Democrats were finally starting to understand the power of language in "framing" issues. It's a simple concept: be the on who sets the terms of the debate and you're likely to be the one who wins the debate. At long last, Democrats were finally going to start engaging in the framing battle and quit yielding every talking point on every issue to the GOP.
George Lakoff was leading the way with his insanely popular book that came out in 2004, Don't Think of an Elephant, which we were assured Democrats were studying assiduously. It didn't matter if you had quibbles with Layoff's "nurturing parent" (liberal) vs. "strict father" (conservative) premise. The substance of the book was sound: take control of the language and you take control of the argument.
Thomas Frank's book, What's the Matter with Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America, also came out in 2004. It had a different angle but a similar theme: how Democrats can win back Red State America by changing their ways of communication and messaging. Frank was the darling of progressive talk radio and blogs for about the next two years straight. I know that many Democratic politicians were well aware of Frank's book because they were asked about it frequently in interviews. Their response to the book was always glowing, and it seemed as though Democrats were finally understanding what the rest of us had understood for years, decades even. The clouds had parted, the Dems were "locked and loaded", and we were all ready to roll.

Intoxicating Tales & Personal & Science Posted by James Killus, 24 Oct 2007 06:37 am
Forget the caffe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea
A Malibu and Coke for you, a G&T for me
Alcohol, Your songs resolve like
my life never will
When someone else is picking up the bill I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else
–"Alcohol," Barenaked Ladies
If you take a molecule of the simplest hydrocarbon, methane, remove one of its four hydrogen atoms and replace it with a hydroxyl group (-OH), you get methanol, the simplest alcohol. The hydrogen at the end of the hydroxyl is more "labile" than the others, so it's relatively easy for methanol to lose it. That leaves the oxygen with a very friendly bond dangling, and it likes to hook up with its nearby carbon buddy,

GNF & World War II & Apocalypse & Science & WAAGNFNP Posted by James Killus, 23 Oct 2007 06:22 am
[Note: In light of the enormity of the firestorms happening in Southern California, we are reposting James' Firestorms for those who missed it previously, or who have something more or new to say. And we send our very best wishes to those suffering from and fleeing from the flames.
-Oaktown Girl, Minister of Justice, WAAGNFNP]
So fires always produce an updraft. In truly big fires, the question becomes how the updraft interacts with the local weather. If the local winds are stronger than the updraft, and the fire is big, uncontrolled, and uncontained, you have a conflagration. If the fire creates its own winds, you have a firestorm.
If you try to light a match under micro-gravity conditions (we all got used to "zero-g" so some smarty pants had to go and call it "micro-gravity") and just hold it in one place, it will self-extinguish. The match will use up enough of the oxygen in its surrounding volume of air to extinguish the flame. It doesn't have to use up all the oxygen, either; most flames go out in air that still has enough O2 in it for people to breathe—barely.
Depending on the fuel, (e.g. hydrogen needs less oxygen to burn than methane does), the usual figure given is that 14%-16% oxygen is needed to sustain a fire. People can manage on a bit less; Biosphere II dropped below 14% before they pumped in some additional O2, but they didn't have to contend with elevated CO2 levels; in fact, what they'd been losing was CO2, by absorption into their nice new concrete structure, with bacteria converting soil organics and O2 into CO2. They'd had a bit of a "slow burn."
Your basic candle flame is fed fresh air by gravity, specifically, the air coming in to replace the hot gases that have become lighter than air in the hot flame. That's called the "fire draft" and fireplaces exist to direct the fire draft upwards, so the smoke doesn't choke the people warming themselves by the fire. The chimney/flue of the fireplace also accelerates the fire draft if you build it right, and both Ben Franklin and Benjamin Thompson, (Count Rumford), invented some tricks that are still in use.
So fires always produce an updraft. In truly big fires, the question becomes how the updraft interacts with the local weather. If the local winds are stronger than the updraft, and the fire is big, uncontrolled, and uncontained, you have a conflagration. If the fire creates its own winds, you have a firestorm.

Why Can't the Dalai Lama go home for the Beijing Olympics??
Well perhaps it is due to the following insanity in the form of an utterance by the official Tibetan Communist Party boss, Zhang Qingli:
"Such a person who basely splits his motherland and doesn't even love his motherland has been welcomed by some countries and has even been receiving this or that award," Tibet's Communist Party boss, Zhang Qingli, told reporters during the congress. "We are furious," Mr. Zhang said. "If the Dalai Lama can receive such an award, there must be no justice or good people in the world."
Wow, so vitriolic and idiotic at the same time. The arrogant assumption that Tibet is China, predicated on an invasion by Mao, and a cultural revolution that eradicated history for a billion people, seems to fly in the face of any reasonably intelligent human being with access to the internet and an interest in history. But there's more of course; consider this:
"He should resolutely abandon his Tibetan independence stance and activities," Tibet's governor, Qiangba Puncog said. "But in my opinion, some of those activities are actually escalating and setting a lot of obstacles for further progress."
Has that ring of a made man, you know like Tony Soprano, telling you to just shut up and "forgetaboutit". "It's a done deal, Tibet is China, so shut your trap!" And, I suspect most citizens of the US would prefer it that way. Why??

Open Thread (#21)
What's Your Quirk?
I'm part of the ho-hum right handed majority. In honor of the MLB playoffs, let's just say if my profile were on a baseball card, it would look like this -
Bats: Right.
Throws: Right.
Yes, there's no doubt about it. I'm absolutely, positively, right handed.
Except when I'm left-handed.
No, I'm not ambidextrous. I'm what you might call, "selectively left-handed", and there's absolutely no rhyme or reason to the things that are a struggle for me to do with my right hand, or can ONLY do with my left. Here's a partial list:
-Using a fork (but get this…not a spoon!!)
-Using chopsticks (cannot do at all with right hand. Not. At. All.)
-Using a computer mouse
-Brushing my teeth
-Using the telephone (speaking, not dialing)
-Wrist watch (goes on the right hand so I can fasten the buckle with my left - no can do the other way around).
Mostly this lefty quirk presents itself in the workplace when someone else has to use my computer for whatever reason. They sit at my chair, and their right hand fumbles for a mouse that isn't there. Then comes the befuddled glance at the location where the mouse should be, and then they give me "the look". "The look" is, "Oh yeah. You're one of them". Usually "the look" is a jokingly derisive smirk, though sometimes it's frustrated exasperation. I offer to move the mouse to the other side, but, "No, no. It's OK" - and they cross their right arm across their body all the way to the other side of the keyboard to use the mouse. It looks like they are trying to play a game of seated "Twister", and it's brutal to watch.
So here's the question: What's your quirk? Are you the only Jets fan in a family of Giants fans? Do you have two differently colored eyes? Sexually attracted to Republicans? Behavioral, physical, mental, doesn't matter. Go ahead and share. Nothing's too big, too small, or too weird. I want to hear about you, but no points deducted for talking about someone else's quirk. For all I know, your quirk is that you're a person of incredibly high integrity, except for the fact that you're a horrible gossip.

Teaching Calculus to a Dog
Pathetic earthlings. … If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror.- Emperor Ming
I have carried the title** of this post around in my head for a few years as the label for some musings on "knowability" and the limitations on our ability to really get our heads around "reality". And since blogging means never having to say you're sorry for inflicting your wandering sophomoric ramblings on your readers - here it is. (But not to worry. Judges say: "That's OK! they roll big joints have trouble focusing too!")
My jumping off point is a simple one: A dog will never learn calculus. Nor will dogs collectively ever master calculus. I hope all can agree on that. (And I exclude here some imaginable cyber-augmented dog, or intelligent critters that dogs might potentially evolve into over the next 50 million years.) They just don't have it - in fact they don't even know they don't have it - their "wetware" is just not capable.
So, let's move on to Canis lupus familiaris's favorite fellow social mammalian companions - humankind.

Fourth Wave Feminism and Real Men
It is both a sad and alarming commentary on the present state of men's character that so many have objected to legitimate feminist challenges, retreated, and finally lashed back. Instead of rising to the challenge, far too many males have regressed into an infantile and dangerous state combining the worst of traditional and modern masculine roles. For many men, a shameless arrogance thrown together with self-absorption has overwhelmed courage and compassion. This mutation has placed manhood, at least American manhood, in crisis. In the micro, there is the man who murders his wife and children before killing himself. In macro, there are political leaders who would be more comfortable destroying the earth than allowing women's power to reside with men's in mutual respect, peace, and benefit.
We need the opposite: men who will take the best of the traditional male, the providing, protecting, serving, and sacrificing, and integrate it with the equality-mindedness of the modern male.
Feminist awareness
After growing up on a on farm where girls and boys both fed the cows and washed dishes, my more formal, conscious feminist awakening came in college and graduate school. In university classrooms and on the street, I learned two crucial truths about feminism and its relation to male identity and well-being:

Ozone in the Troposphere
…well yes you did get some kind of award for "Mostest Detailed Information on an Obscure Topic". –JP Stormcrow
[D]on't tempt me to go all photochemical on your ass. If you want detailed information on really obscure topics, I can bury you. –James Killus
Ozone is the key ingredient in photochemical smog. Air quality standards for smog are designed to limit ozone on the assumption that, if ozone is reduced, other photochemical smog constituents will also be reduced. While other air pollutants like carbon monoxide and fine particulates are, by and large, directly emitted, ozone is a "secondary air pollutant," meaning that it is formed by chemical processes in the atmosphere.
There is, however, a natural background of ozone in the troposphere, the layer of air that contains 90% of the atmosphere, and the part of the atmosphere where we breathe, where weather happens, etc.

My great grandmother was the first woman in her Pennsylvania town to drive a car. She was also an entrepreneur, running a small dress shop, and at one point, she was the sole breadwinner in her family -- and that was in the 1920s. I never met her, but I cannot tell you how much I have always loved hearing about her. I pictured her zipping down the roads in a gold convertible, her hair pulled back, and her eyes shielded by big sunglasses, with a streak of red lipstick on her mouth, term sheets and adding machines on the passenger seat. Later in life, someone asked if I wanted to see an old photo of her, and I declined. I already had her picture in my head. I already felt her genes "inside" me. I was descended from a Trailblazer and it was better than hearing my family had been on the Mayflower, better than hearing I was actually a Princess. I would be just like her -- not the real person, but the image I had created in my mind.
Over the years, whenever I encountered a strong woman, my great grandmother's spirit was with me. She'd whisper, "Now THAT's an interesting lady. I wonder what HER story is." And I would lean in. I watched my grandmother fix our roof by fearlessly climbing a tall ladder and crawling around, looking for the leaks. I noticed how my mother pushed forward when at age 58, she lost my dad and had $4100 in her bank account.
So, when my 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Place, asked me whether I was strong enough to memorize the Gettysburg address and say it in front of the school, my ancestors stood next to me as I said I could do it. When Gloria Steinem came to Boston, I ran to soak up her every word. When Anne Jardim and Margaret Hennig wrote The Managerial Woman, just as I was graduating Harvard Business School, I believed they had written the most profound leadership book of all time, which inspired thousands of us to reach for the stars. And, 2 months ago, when I met Anne Jardim at a small dinner party, I had the privilege of telling her that. Now I get to watch my great grandmother's genes flowing through my daughters Lindsay and Amanda, as they face their own obstacles with courage and boldness.
When people ask me about my career, about being an entrepreneur, about raising venture capital, about how Communispace almost didn't survive, or about building a fast-growing company, I usually say that life is long. We all have so many chapters, and over time, the fun is in the journey and in having the strength to believe that anything is possible. It's in zipping down the roads in our gold convertibles -- and in learning that leadership is less about getting others to follow you and more about inspiring others to be better drivers than you are.
Join the conversation! This year, The Ad Club and Allen & Gerritsen have put together a Women's Leadership Forum survey on the challenges women face in business today. This is your opportunity to provide insights from your own career, help guide others, and even be entered in a drawing to win an Xbox 360! Take the survey HERE!
For those of you who were at The Ad Club's kickoff to the Under The Dome series with Pandemic Labs Founder Matt Peters, STOP reading now, you've got work to do replacing the strategy you just threw away! Begin reading again once you've give up sorting through the surprising results of the 300+ B2B and B2C page, 200,000+ post, 255 million+ interaction study that Matt presented a SMALL part of today. For the rest of you, I'm recapping the highlights and offering a few pieces of advice.
There are some practices that we know are effective, and Matt largely affirmed these. Videos>Pictures>Words>Lots of words. Pretty straight forward. The best time to post, not such a straight forward fact. I know many of you will tell me 9am-11am, or Friday afternoon, or 6pm, or whatever you may find is effective. But we're ALL missing out here, because the most effective time is…care to guess…12:00am Sunday. Followed by 12:00am Monday. Followed by 10pm Friday. Seeing a trend right? Thinking this will be a little easier to redesign than you expected? WRONG! The next most effective time? Tuesday 11:00pm. Huh?
So here's the takeaway when it comes to time. You post M-F, 9-5 (or some variation of that). Your audience reads nights and weekends. Something's gotta give. And its gonna be you, because as Matt said, your audience isn't going to modify its habits to fit your schedule, you're going to modify your schedule to fit their habits.
Here is how I do it. I post 1-2 times a day. I post videos (when I've got them). I post pictures, when I post links, I post pictures with them. And I don't post just to post! If you're posting quick content, information about an event, questions, etc, there's is a place for that…Twitter.
For those of you who didn't attend, there is a video coming soon. Also, check out the Pandemic Labs Blog for more information. There was so much knowledge shared by Matt today, I can't even being to write about it all. So if you were there, what did you like the most? What one piece of advice is going to change the way you do business in social?

When I was growing up, I was fascinated by the commercials that seemed to spring up all over the place for Wonder Bread. "Helps build strong bodies 12 ways!" My sisters and I would sit at the kitchen table and ask my mom, "Please can't you buy us some Wonder Bread, mom? All our friend's mom's buy it for them!"
The key element in Wonder Bread – calcium -- would build strong bones and create hordes of strong Wonder-bread chomping men and women. We knew this must be magic. We too, wanted to be strong.
My mom didn't cave, she was forever suspect that Wonder Bread wasn't what it claimed to be. So I never ate much Wonder Bread, but I did go into advertising. There must have been some part of me, even back then, that said, "I can do better than that!" when it comes making TV commercials. Wonder Bread made me stronger, but not nearly in the way they anticipated. It helped me create a clarity of vision, a desire to advertise products I believed in passionately, to creatively find the truth in the story of the product. And then – only then – to be true to my personal mission statement -- "I like to create things that capture the imagination of the general public and become a part of the popular culture for years to come."
Just like Wonder Bread.
And now, the female who continually shows me how to lead with strength is my own daughter, Caitlin. Her strength is a light of its own, a light that's a thousand times stronger than my own. The road to where she is now was more difficult a road than anything I would wish for anyone, never mind my own daughter. And yet here she is, calling me from MIT where she goes to grad school. A group of MIT engineers and her are forming a start-up, a shirt company. At the awesomely-named Ministry of Supply, Caitlin is a founder, and as the wearer of many hats she must also head up marketing. She calls me from campus, breathless with excitement, asking can I help her with the business? Can I help her with copywriting?" "Of course," I reply. "What are mothers for?
And so, we sit at her kitchen table, teaching each other all we know, as mother and daughter, as fellow business owners, as advertisers and marketers, as would-be comrades plotting an entrepreneurial revolution, sharing our own unique strengths with each other.

Last fall, I left the retail industry after more than ten years to pursue a leadership opportunity at Jumpstart, a national non-profit organization focused on early childhood education. Having two preschool-aged children of my own and a passion for mission-driven work, I was humbled by the opportunity to join an organization that makes a profound difference in the lives of young children by helping them to develop the skills they need to enter kindergarten ready to succeed.
With the growing economic challenges in our country, there is increased disparity between the early education opportunities that children from underprivileged communities receive, as compared to those from more prosperous neighborhoods. In fact, in low-income communities, 50% of children start kindergarten up to two years behind their more affluent peers. Investing in early education has proven benefits for not only these children, but to our society as a whole, resulting in greater lifetime productivity in the workforce, lower crime rates, and higher graduation rates. Jumpstart tackles this divide by training caring adults to deliver a research-based program to preschool children who need it most. Headquartered in Boston, Jumpstart reaches 10,000 children in communities throughout the United States, including New York City, Washington DC, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
One of the most fulfilling parts of my job is the opportunity to connect organizations with Jumpstart's mission to drive positive change for young people. A few weeks ago, I received a call from Starbucks to participate in a national cause marketing program that encourages Starbucks cardholders to vote for their favorite non-profit. Jumpstart was one of the beneficiary organizations selected from a pool of 300 non-profits to join the Starbucks Community Card: Vote. Give. Grow. program. Special thanks to all of the Starbucks employees who rooted for Jumpstart!
With your support, Jumpstartcan secure $400,000 to help children enter kindergarten prepared to succeed. Here's how you can help:
Thanks so much for supporting our cause and please stay in touch with us @Jumpstartkids!
The Ad Club in Boston, MA, in conjunction with sponsor Newsweek & The Daily Beast, gathered for the Mad Men Season 5 premiere. The Boston Sales Manager of Newsweek & The Daily Beast, Paul Gillespie, picked up the first drink for the first 100 people at the party. Guests came dressed in Mad Men attire and toasted the new season.
Gregg Oberg, Social Media Manager for The Ad Club, also offered a special treat to the guests – get your photo taken in Don Draper's chair from Seasons 1 to 3. The chair was provided by A Chair 4 Charity, and all photo proceeds were sent to the Big Sister Association of Greater Boston. You can see pictures of Don's chair at the premier party on The Ad Club's Facebook Page.
Founder of A Chair 4 Charity, Fred Caserta (Principal/Creative Director of Stratford, CT-based Caserta Design Company, LLC), offered Don Draper's chair to The Ad Club for the event through a social media posting.
A while back, Caserta received an e-newsletter (yes, a loyal fan, he joined the show's mailing list) and learned that Mad Men was going to auction the set from Seasons 1 to 3. Still disappointed Jon Hamm's appearance fell through, Caserta felt he owed the club some piece of the show, and if he couldn't produce Don Draper in person, at least he could provide the chair.
Caserta said, "Owning the chair is like having a piece of television history." Several of Mad Men's promotional posters and ads showed Don Draper in the chair. The chair was, after all, where Don Draper smoked, had a drink or two, took meetings and even voted on merging his agency with another. It was the one item that anchored Don Draper over the first three seasons.
Auction Cause managed the auction for Lionsgate and AMC TV; eBay® facilitated the online bidding; and uShip's Help on Wheels was the charity delivery vehicle. Bidding for the chair started slowly, but rose to a frenzy right before the auction closed, and Caserta had the winning bid.
Since ten percent of the proceeds from the auction went to City of Hope cancer center, Caserta thought he could continue to use the chair to do some good. (Hmm, wonder if Don Draper would vote "yea" on that!)
So, Caserta created A Chair 4 Charity. It's Caserta's way to share the chair with not only the fans of Mad Men, but also the advertising industry and aficionados of mid-century modern furnishings and fashion. Caserta makes Don Draper's chair available for events -- proceeds from getting your picture taken in the chair benefits the charity the event sponsor chooses. So far, the Advertising Club of Connecticut held a benefit for the Connecticut Children's Medical Center and The Ad Club in Boston sent donations to the Big Sisters Association of Greater Boston.
Mad Men's set decorator Amy Wells has said that the show's creator, Matthew Weiner, wanted such vérité on the sets that he requested "gum under the desks." Sure enough, next to the prop department sticker number, there's a wad of gum under Don Draper's chair!
If you would like to use Don Draper's chair to raise money for charity at your event, contact: email@example.com, Twitter: @AChair4Charity, www.facebook.com/AChair4Charity or call 203-378-5358.

The Rainbow: Certain Principles of Light and Shapes Between Forms (2012)
Michael Jones McKean
Michael Jones McKean's project creates a simple, but phenomenal visual event — a rainbow in the sky. The public artwork produces temporary rainbows above the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha, Nebraska, utilizing solely captured rainwater. Throughout the project cycle, collected and recaptured rain water is filtered and stored in water tanks. Within the gallery, a custom designed pump supplies pressurized water to nozzles mounted to the roof of the Bemis Center. At timed intervals, in the morning and early evening, a dense water-wall is projected above the building in which the rainbow emerges.

I guess that if Mistress is to allow her slave the privilege of cumming, then the only type of orgasm he can have must be a humiliating one! Bound with his feet shackled and legs wide apart, his balls must be in the most exquisite pain with that rope tied tightly to them.
He can cum, but it comes at a price. His orgasm will hurt like hell, and he will spew his hot sticky jizz directly into his own face!

The Vans Vault range is about exposing creative expression. It draws influences from art, music, skateboarding and surfing. Each season, Vans picks a different artist to compliment the Vault range and this time round its Melbourne artist JOSH PETHERICK.
Josh moved to Melbourne in the late 90s to pursue a music carreer but in 2002, set up a studio working as an exhibiting artist and freelance illustrator. He has completed works with Vitra, Tokion Magazine as well as clothing companies such as Commonwealth Stacks, Stussy and 2k by Gingham.
He has also decorated gallery spaces in Sydney and has just had a solo exhibition at the world famous Colette in Paris, France.
His love for music and strong ties to the Inverted Crux Music stable in Melbourne sees him playing assorted instruments at the musical collective Bohemian Knights and the Spores of The Golden Beard group.
We photographed most of the catalog, cos even though we have the samples in the office, we thought that all of you needed to see how much work has gone into it.

Throughout the year, the RSC offers many special events. Watch the RSC News for detailed information on:
In an effort to better meet the need of our community the RSC offers programs to encourage participation from all populations. Seniors from India - on the second Thursday of every month join seniors from India for an informative and interesting program, and a catered lunch of vegetarian Indian food; co-Sponsored by the Indian Association of Western Washington Seniors from China - every Friday morning seniors from China have an opportunity to participate in social, recreational, educational, and cultural activities; co-sponsored with Chinese Information and Services Center
The RSC is always looking to expand and improve the classes that we offer. We are interested in skilled, qualified instructors in all topic areas. If you, or someone you know, is available and interested in teaching at the RSC, please contact the Program Coordinator for information on making a course proposal.
The RSC currently offers day trips, usually on Tuesdays and a variety of special interest trips, typically on Wednesdays. Transportation is on the RSC's bus and the trip is led by our driver. Destinations vary each quarter, with more indoor activities in the winter and more outdoor activities in the summer. We attempt to offer at least one trip in each of the following categories each quarter:
Complete details for all trips are found in the RSC News.
The amount of walking involved in each trip can be a major factor in your decision to participate. Terrain, as well as distance, can make a difference in how much you enjoy the experience. The following rating system was developed to help you choose trips that are a good match for your walking abilities.
In short, the more shoes you see next to a trip, the more rigorous the walking. *Keep in mind that trips which indicate rigorous walking may have options for those who have mobility difficulties. Check with staff to see what accommodations might be available. With prior notification, the RSC will make every effort to provide reasonable, appropriate accommodations for individuals with disabilities. Please click here to see Registration Policies and Procedures.
That classes often get canceled because people wait until the last minute to register? It recently happened to our guitar classes for this quarter. Several people called inquiring about the class, but decided to wait to see how many people registered. Because those people didn't register ahead of time, the classes were canceled. Decision are made 1 week prior to the start of a class on whether to cancel the class based on registration. The moral of the story? If you would like to take a class, register for the class early. If the class is canceled, you will receive a full refund.

We are in the middle of a shoot. I'm trying to find a way to watch the footage (Epic 5K) and make a rough cut without using prores conversions because our time is very limited.
Isn't it possible like Red One 4K or 4,5K files: create proxies via redcine and use the lowest proxy for watching and simple editing?
Is there any way to avoid prores and do this directly?
Any help will be appreciated !!!

The Force will be strong in Times Square this week. To celebrate the premiere of the new Cartoon Network special LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles, LEGO and Lucasfilm have teamed up to bring a massive recreation of a X-wing Starfighter to New York City.
Made of 5,335,200 LEGO bricks, the model — based on the iconic ship Luke Skywalker & Co. fly in the Star Wars movies — was transported to the United States from the LEGO Model Shop in Kladno, Czech Republic, where it was constructed by a team of 32 builders. It is an exact replica — at 42 times the size — of the LEGO Star Wars set No. 9493. It will be parked in Times Square Thursday through Saturday, May 23-25.
Harrison Ford has already said he's interested in reprising his role as Han Solo in the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII, and now his Star Wars co-stars Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are looking to revive their characters Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia as well, according to reports.

Going into NCIS' 10th season, you'd think we've learned all there is to know about Mark Harmon's Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Think again. As I reported last week, an October episode will introduce Star Wars vet Billy Dee Williams as Gibbs' namesake.
NCIS is getting a new Leroy Jethro — who'll look a lot like Lando Calrissian! Don't worry, TV's top series isn't replacing uber popular lead Mark Harmon in his role. Rather, Star Wars veteran Billy Dee Williams will appear as another Leroy Jethro — who Leroy Jethro Gibbs was named for. In an October episode, Williams will play LJ, a World War II veteran and close friend of the Gibbs clan.

> Um, it's not really RAID 1 when the drives are in different servers. > Although there's not much point in arguing about that. > > -- greg My knee-jerk reaction to Greg's statement was going to be something snotty and along the lines of "what part of 'R' don't you understand?" ;-) But upon further pondering and also going back and re-reading the original article a little more slowly, I think that there is a point in there. Now, one thing I do have an issue with is the article's title claim that RAID is somehow dead. This is clarified in the very first sentence where he identifies that this refers to "costly RAID controllers". Terribly misleading but as someone mentioned earlier it does grab your attention. But in a sense this is old news to us. What the article essentially addresses is that with the huge increase in the I/O capability of other pieces of the system (CPUs, busses, etc) the model of having all your data accessed by going out on the wire and pulling it in from some remote (possibly multiple) high end storage servers cannot survive. At least not for "active" data. Well, duh. Personally I've been using clusters to crush some decent high-end storage arrays since around 2003. Back then the general rule was that we had local disk on the nodes and you would do any significant I/O to those disks. We would stage static copies of input data (eg. Genomics databases) to those disks also just to avoid going out on the wire. So we threw out RAID years ago for our active data. Where we did keep it was for our less active data - home directories, executables, etc - where we did have a need for a definitive, coherent storage image and availability was more important that absolute performance. But this too is starting to change as the node count rises. I think that the current thinking is that while disks have gotten very large, their I/O performance has not kept pace. With the cost of solid state storage coming down in price now, it makes a lot of sense to start replacing disks where we have single point bottlenecks in our I/O chain. So I look at the whole discussion as the realization that finally the rest of the world is catching up to us. :-) -bill
