From the book's introduction:
The most intimate conversation of my life, visually and spiritually, is photography. Photographic portraiture avails me the most audacious means of self-inquiry and self-expression. In the sacred spaces that my subjects and I create, I am at last myself. We are utterly present and connected, one with the other and one with all, unspeakably enthralled in an unnamable process. At its absolute best, we are joined in oneness, in spiritual union, beyond definition, convention and comprehension, where images are born in the mystical rapture of silence and space, for the love of and for the sake of art, one moment, one frame at a time. Borrowing from Alfred Stieglitz, the father of modern photography, "When I make a photograph, I make love."
The act of imaging a woman's beauty is, for me, divine grace incarnate. Intimate portraiture offers ease and emptiness, what Buddhism's Heart Sutra offers as Form is emptiness, Emptiness is form. We are Wu Wei to Taoists, creating spontaneously and effortlessly, consciously experiencing ourselves as part of the unity of life. There is no I; there is only the act. Perhaps this mode of being is what Lao Tzu referred to when he wrote:
"The Tao abides in non-action,
Yet nothing is left undone.
If kings and lords observed this,
The ten thousand things would develop naturally.
If they still desired to act,
They would return to the simplicity of formless substance.
Without form there is no desire.

It's no surprise that today's news centers around the successful recruiting day that the Nittany Lions enjoyed on Tuesday. First, 4-star offensive tackle Sterling Jenkins announced his decision to verbally commit to the Penn State. A little over an hour later, 4-star quarterback Brandon Wimbush also verbally committed to the Nittany Lions. Sticking with the recruiting theme, yesterday, dubbed "Super Tuesday" continued Franklin's early success at Penn State. In news actually not related to recruiting, oft-injured linebacker Ben Kline is profiled.

My girls and I made these as a table centerpiece. We cut 12 circles each: 4 inches, 5 inches, and 6 inches. We folded them, orange sides together, and then adhered the opposite sides together until we had a 3D sphere. We cut a bit off the bottom, so they'd stand straight. We added a green canvas flower, some rolled strips of green paper, and we made the stems by spraying a 2 inch strip of kraft soup staples with water, and then scrunching and twisting into a stem shape. Fun to make! They're great for Halloween, but we'll be keeping them up until Thanksgiving. Generic pumpkins always work through November. =) Click here for full credits.
I made this set of thank you cards for some very thoughtful neighbors who brought us some goodies when we moved in. I threw in some SRM stickers for the sentiments. Click here for full credits.

Watch Christian Bale Audition As Batman In Val Kilmer's Suit
By Joe Hughes
In stores this week is The Dark Knight Trilogy: Ultimate Collector's Edition box set (which we're giving away a copy of). The set includes all three of director Christopher Nolan's Batman films on Blu-Ray, plus a number of extras, including, as revealed by Batman News in the site's review of the set, a video of Christian Bale's audition for the role of Batman, while wearing Val Kilmer's suit from Batman Forever.
Warner Bros. has unveiled an ominous one sheet poster for The Dark Knight Rises, showcasing Tom Hardy's Bane walking away from a shattered Batman mask beneath some even more foreboding text reading,"The Legend Ends."

Let Laptop Battery Die, Having Logon Problems
So I have a stock Dell Inspiron 6400, and this weekend I left it on overnight without the power supply plugged in. I woke up to find the battery at nearly 0% and the desktop frozen, and was required to force shut it down. After rebooting, the computer ran disk checks, memory checks, and attempted to repair the problem. No problems were detected, and the memory seems fine. I could then reach the Windows 7 logon screen and logon. Taking about twice as long as usual to load, it then proceeded to a blue screen with only my cursor. I could open the Ctrl+Alt+Del menu, but trying to access the task manager only resulted in the blue screen with cursor and being locked out of further ctrl+alt+del access. Furthermore I am able to start the computer in any safe mode and all of my files, programs, etc are saved and accessible, and I am even typing this from my laptop as we speak.
Windows 7 was provided free of charge through the university I attend, and so I have a burned copy of the install disk with which I attempted to boot from and restore. Trying to restore from both the hard drive and from the install disk say that I have no restore files saved. I am pretty sure I should have at least one, as I installed Windows 7 over 6 months ago and have updated and installed numerous programs since.
I have a desktop for necessary school work, and so the repair of the laptop isn't a major concern, though it still needs to get done. I feel like it has something to do with the memory as the computer ran out of battery while still running, but then again I am in these forums for a reason. I also would prefer not to reinstall Windows 7, as the programs and files seem perfectly intact.
If you need more information about my system, let me know what, and where to find it. Note: I have not backed up my system with the Windows 7 backup tools, but I do have copies of all my necessary files on an external HD. Thanks.

For my thesis, I've designed an augmented interactive learning tool for children. A virtual space is overlayed on a real physical space to create the illusion of an "extended" space. Participants engage and interact with Wii (and in the end, Participants emerge with their shadow and the screen ‐I am still considering)
All elements move toward main center screen.
In side of Each room, such as sphere room, pyramid room, cube room, Participants will experience the sound, image, and the word as a whole.

This is really hard on me. I have made so many trials and errors these days. The whole process goes back and forth every single day, even every single hour. But the process is still lots of learning and I feel like I am in brainwash processing in order to emerging myself into the unfamiliar work environments where I have never been before. Hope this repeated failures bring me a desired result, which I have always wanted to have. The moment of jeopardy should be both interesting and enlightening.

The most interesting article today was "Anywhere the eye can see, it's now likely to see an AD" written by Louise Story. I quote, "Add this to the endangered list: blank spaces." I love the first sentence, which is a very strong statement that shows what she wanted to talk about. The reason why I am very excited for the article was that my thesis II has a similar theme with this article. The development of the technology brought tremendous changes on our daily life, and somehow it makes people feel overwhelmed from the huge information. The article shows many great examples, which express the new way of communication make people interested in the products or companies more than before. Those examples, such as, McDonald's, Adidas, Got Milk?, Toyota, and Chase Bank, sometimes work well, but sometimes people get more distracted. The article did not mention about social networking sites, which are the main distraction and, at the same time, new opportunities for the businesses, in terms of advertising and branding. No one can predict what will be the next with the tremendous speed of the changes based on the new technology, but the article really makes me think whether we create more clutter under the name of the communication designer. Of course, we, as designers, need to explore all the possibilities that technology can offer us. However, I believe that the most important thing to keep in mind is that technology itself does not make great work. All the projects that have been successful were probably the same communal issue with respect, understanding and the generosity of the human spirit. I hope the way we convey for alternative media do not create more clutter any more in the future.
I quote, "I look at the wind on the trees. I watch the swimmers go back and forth," Mr. Colley said. "I usually come here to clear my head." From the article, Digital Devices Deprive Brain of Needed Downtime written by By MATT RICHTEL
I always think the differences between Mozart vs Salieri.
Both are geniuses. What I felt from the movie was that Mozart was natural born genius compare to Salieri. However, the amazing thing was that Salieri had good eyes to find something really good.
From the lecture, I honestly thought that scenario. Through the education, art and design will be achieved at some points, but if a person has natural born talents given from GOD, he/she will achieve beyond expectation. Also, I have been thought that a game industry is very hectic and sort of too commercial to be an art(?), but the lecture changed my attitude in the game industry.
Art and design now blur their boundaries. Art could be used as a tool of communications and design could be a piece of art. however, in order to do that, as ALEXANDER REYNA mentioned in the lecture, we need to spend some time and efforts. That is not an assignment from somewhere else. It has to come from one's mind very naturally.
Another thing that I noticed through the lecture was the relationship between ALEXANDER REYNA and JOHN GIST. Belief, challenge, respect, proud and satisfaction from each other made them look really cool.
Thanks for this great opportunity!
1. Some people enjoy online games for fun and others are seriously addicted the games.
Do you feel any responsibility for the people who seriously addicted the online games?
2. Online games and social networks seem to bring people together in a virtual space.
Meanwhile they eat up our physical togetherness. Any thought?
3. When you develop online games, what is the most important point that intrigues people into the game? (because I have thought that the online games have something in it that makes people really addicted)
4. How did you start your art projects? (How did you contact galleries?) / How do you manage the both commercial projects and art projects at the same time?
The launching of iPad especially gives a lot of issues to our society. Probably it has huge possibility to change our behaviors and all industries in the society. Most applications and programs of computer devices obviously need to be upgraded or updated for keeping good functions over time, otherwise you could get only lower performances with the device. Also, I just feel the same way with application for the iPad. Only difference is the tremendous speed that technology allowed us. If the situation is a necessary process to move on another level, that would be fine because all great inventions needed adventurous time. However, if it is the strategy of making money, that sounds really depressing because no matter what people want to have the new device.

Celtics make Jerryd Bayless for Courtney Lee trade official, waive Ryan Gomes
|01.07.14 at 12:11 pm ET
The Celtics finalized a trade that sent Courtney Lee and a 2016 second-round draft pick to the Grizzlies in exchange for Jerryd Bayless.
As part of the deal, the Celtics acquired Ryan Gomes from the Thunder and subsequently waived him. The remainder of Gomes' $884,293 salary would have become guaranteed had the C's not released him on Tuesday.
Bayless, 25, averaged 8.0 points (41.9 FG%, 35.3 3P%, 83.6 FT%), 2.0 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 20.8 minutes per game in 30 appearances for the Grizzlies this season, but his $3.1 million contract is Danny Ainge's biggest acquisition. While Bayless becomes a free agent this summer, Lee is owed $11.1 million over the next two seasons on top of the remainder of this season's $5.2 million salary.
We discussed the trade's impact on the salary cap and how Ainge might exercise his newfound flexibility going forward here.
Bayless arrived in Denver on Monday and is expected to be available against the Nuggets, according to the Celtics public relations staff. He will wear No. 11, same as Lee.
"We've always like Jerryd," Ainge told the Herald. '"He's played really well against us, and we're intrigued to see what he can do now. We like that he can play some point guard."
As for Lee, Ainge added, "Courtney has played real well in a limited role for us this year. I also know he was not happy with his role. But I think he's a good player for Memphis to acquire."

First Pitch: July 29
Davis goes three deep
Published: Jul 29, 2012
» Get updates via Sportsmail
1. Ike Davis, 1B, Mets. Davis hit three home runs in a loss to the Diamondbacks and finished the day 4-for-4 with three runs and three RBIs. Davis has experienced a power surge lately with seven home runs in the past 10 games. He now has 20 home runs this season, despite carrying a .216 batting average.
2. Mike Minor, SP, Braves. Minor delivered eight innings of one-run ball against the Phillies in a performance that didn't exactly come out of nowhere. Minor has enjoyed a run of four straight quality starts that has dropped his ERA from 6.20 to 5.18 this season. He will face a trade-depleted Miami squad at home this week.
3. Yoenis Cespedes, OF, A's. Cespedes and the A's remained on the fire as he went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs in a win against the Orioles. Over the past two weeks, Cespedes has five home runs and 15 RBIs with a .434 average. He has 14 homers to go with a .302 average this season.
1. Justin Masterson, SP, Indians. Masterson's inconsistency continued as he gave up eight runs and seven hits in 5.2 innings against the Twins. Masterson's Minnesota mess came after he allowed just one run in 7.1 innings against the Orioles on Monday. Before that, he walked seven against the Rays. Good luck guessing which Masterson will show up this week against Detroit.
2. Carlos Beltran, OF, Cardinals. Beltran went 0-for-4 with an RBI after missing a couple of days of action yet insisting he was healthy. After posting a triple-slash line of .296/.382/.542 before the All-Star break, those numbers have dropped to .204/.216/.388 in the second half. Perhaps the window to sell high is closing.
3. Anibal Sanchez, SP, Tigers. Sanchez's Detroit debut didn't go as planned as he allowed 11 baserunners in six innings and gave up five earned runs in a loss to the Blue Jays. Sanchez is 1-2 with a 4.65 ERA in his past 31 innings, but he has struck out 26 in that span. He will get the Indians in his next start.
-Chipper Jones is 8-for-16 with a pair of homers and three doubles in his career against Roy Halladay. Dan Uggla (.357, 3 HRs) and Brian McCann (.391, HR) have also had success against the Phillies' ace.
-Ryan Howard is 19-for-55 (.345) with six jacks in his career against Atlanta's Tim Hudson.
-Rafael Furcal is 9-for-25 (.360) with four doubles and a homer in his career against Paul Maholm.
-Jason Bay is 5-for-10 with a pair of homers and even a steal lifetime against southpaw Joe Saunders.
-Tampa's Carlos Pena (6-for-36, 18 Ks and Ben Zobrist (3-for-17, 8 Ks) have both struggled in their careers against new Angels ace Zack Greinke.
-Shin-Soo Choo is hitting .183/.300/.292 against left-handers this season and is just 3-for-16 (.188) with seven Ks in his career against southpaw Francisco Liriano.
-Brandon Belt is just 2-for-13 (.154) with five Ks lifetime against Clayton Kershaw and may not even draw a start against the hard-throwing lefty.
-Adam Lind is battling a sore back and is just 1-for-10 with three Ks lifetime against Doug Fister.
There are no significant threats of rain today, but there are a couple of cities to check, including Denver for Reds-Rockies (32 percent) and Chicago for Cardinals-Cubs (26 percent).
An asterisk indicates start is in question.

in Fright
was a last minute addition to my Fantastic Fest 2012 agenda; I
knew nothing about the movie except that it was older and set in Australia. It
was mostly on a whim that I parked myself in the theater for an 11:40 AM
showing of the 40-year-old film. What I experienced was one of the most unexpected
and unique pieces of cinema of the 20
century. WiF is a tale of
the outback (one of the first in fact) and helped establish a genre.
After its release it came within a hair�s breadth
of being lost forever. <>>
plot of
Wake in Fright
concerns one
John Grant, a school teacher serving a two year contract in a small outback
town. At the start of the film, the semester is just wrapping up and he hops a
train for the town of Bundanyabba, or �The Yabba� as the locals call it, with
the intention of catching a plane to Sydney for the summer. When John arrives
he is initially amused by the backwoods nature and alcoholism of the locals (he
is a city-boy). However, when he loses all his money and plane fare on a local
gambling game called �two-up�; he is forced to rely on the charity of those
same locals. What follows is a slow tearing away of John�s identity as he shacks
up with a drunken, washed-up doctor (played by Donald Pleasance) and begins to
indulge himself in all the dark entertainments that �The Yabba� has to offer. <>>
in Fright
is helmed by Ted Kotcheff who later directed
First Blood
(Rambo part 1) and
at Bernie�s
, but WiF is as far removed in style from those films as they
are from each other. Kotcheff spoke about WiF before the screening at Fantastic
Fest and how it was almost lost entirely.
in Fright
premiered at Cannes in 1971 and despite good critical reception
the film failed at the box office. In the US, Kotcheff attributed this to
United Artists not supporting the film and only opening it in a theater in New
York during a blizzard. After that it more or less disappeared; never shown on
television and never released on VHS or DVD. WiF came to be considered a lost
film with the original negative missing and few who could claim to have
actually seen one of the remaining prints. <>>
Anthony Buckley, the editor of the
film, at his own expense,
around the world for years following rumors of where the negative might be and
coming up with nothing. It wasn�t until 2004 that he found two large cargo
containers that contained the negative and other source materials in a facility
in Pittsburgh. The containers were labeled to be destroyed two weeks later. At
this point in the story the now elderly Ted Kotcheff began to choke up and it�s
not hard to see why. If the one man looking for it had been just 14 days late;
this genre establishing film would have been lost for all time. <>>
At his own expense the editor carried
out the painstaking restoration of the much degraded negative. In Kotcheff�s
opinion that picture quality is superior to that of the prints that were struck
for its first release. The colors of the Australian desert shine crisply in
Technicolor, with a vibrancy and scope reminiscent of shots from
Lawrence of Arabia
. The dark shadows of
the films many night scenes and all the characters that inhabit �The Yabba� are
restored to their original gritty, sweaty, and dirty glory. After the film�s
restoration in 2009 it again played at Cannes, making it only the second film
to be screened on two different years at the festival (the other being
Scenes of actual kangaroos being
hunted and butchered have led to some controversy and allegations of animal
cruelty about the film. According to Kotcheff, the kangaroos were not killed
for the film, but he did accompany and film Australian hunters. Kotcheff was
adamant that the hunters do nothing special in his presence and simply go about
their work as they would on any normal hunt. The Royal Australian Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals encouraged the use of the film he shot to draw
attention to the slaughter of kangaroos in the outback. <>>

To come up with "Let It Go," the chart-topping anthem that parents across America know well, the married composers Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Bobby Lopez took a walk in Prospect Park, near their Brooklyn home. "We stood up on a picnic table in front of the picnic house and imagined what Elsa would be thinking up on her mountain alone," Ms. Anderson-Lopez has told the Bagger. "And we wrote it in a day." In this video, the composers assemble at the piano at their home in Brooklyn as they discuss their thinking behind the song and how they collaborate.

How 'Let It Go' Upended the 'Frozen' PlotBy Melena Ryzik
There is little stopping the momentum of "Let It Go," the hit song from Disney's blockbuster "Frozen." The recording, by Idina Menzel, who voices the icy-but-thawing older sister Elsa in the movie, was certified platinum this week – that means at least a million sales – and the Academy also announced that Ms. Menzel was to perform it at the Oscars, where it is the favorite to win the prize for best song. The soundtrack, too, has been at or near the top of the charts for weeks.
The movie, based loosely on the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale "The Snow Queen," was always conceived of as a musical. But it wasn't always the story of two sisters. That idea, said Chris Buck, a co-director, came later.
"We'd been working on it for probably a couple of years," he said, sitting in daily meetings in the Disney offices in Burbank, Calif., fine-tuning their two heroines, when somebody – they don't remember who — said, 'What if they were sisters?'"
"Everything started to click," Mr. Buck said. "We all got it, in all departments, and everybody loved the idea."
Focusing on two female leads with a family relationship is a first for Disney, usually bound by traditional tales.
"Particularly as a writer, you're constantly feeling like there's formulas," said Jennifer Lee, the screenplay author and co-director with Mr. Buck. "We've done good vs. evil, we've done that kind of romantic love, but we had never done this."
They worked with the composers Bobby Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez – theater veterans whose credits include "Avenue Q," "The Book of Mormon" and "In Transit" – from the beginning, but a turning point came when they delivered "Let It Go." (The couple wrote it after taking a walk around Prospect Park, near their home in Brooklyn.) Instead of positioning Elsa as a villain – as her inspiration was in "The Snow Queen" – it showcases her moment of self-acceptance.
"The minute we heard the song the first time," Ms. Lee said, "I knew that I had to rewrite the whole movie."

Kansas Sees Only Slight Change in Revenue Estimates
Associated Press - November 6, 2013 6:43 pm
A new survey suggests slower economic growth ahead in rural areas of 10 states in the Plains and the West.
Kansas officials have slightly reduced their projections for state revenues during the current fiscal year.
But acting Budget Director Jon Hummel said Wednesday the state will still be able to sustain the spending in the budget for both the current fiscal year and the one that begins in July 2014.
Fiscal forecasters said the state should collect $5.86 billion in revenues during the current fiscal year. That's $29 million lower than the previous projection of $5.89 billion.
The previous estimate was made in April.
The forecasters also issued the first projections for the next fiscal year. They're predicting that the state will collect $5.92 billion in revenues. The growth would be $61 million, or 1 percent.
The economy is in the toilet and now we are losing our health insurance or the cost is 3 or 4 times of what we are currently paying. There is no money to go around.

Gerard Depardieu unloaded on an Air France jet Tuesday ... as in he pissed in the aisle.
Depardieu was on the ground in Paris, waiting for his plane to take off for Dublin, but a delay on the ground proved too much for the actor.
Depardieu told the flight attendant, "Je veux pisser," -- I have to pee -- but she was unmoved ... telling the famous Frenchie he would have to wait 15 minutes because the flight was about to take off.
According to witnesses, Depardieu unzipped his pants and pissed on the aisle carpet.
The jet returned to the gate and it took nearly 2 hours for the ground crew to clean up the mess.
Depardieu was escorted off the plane and it's unclear if authorities will take action against him. Witnesses say the actor was intoxicated.
The actor's reps could not be reached for comment.
She could have let him go to the bathroom. So happy to hear he didn't have to make "number 2" or did he??????
When you have to go, you have to go.
I am guessing alcohol was involved. I never, ever, ever drink alcohol while flying - for this exact reason.
I hope he was arrested. What a pig. Next time I fly I'll be sure to be extra kinda to the flight attendants. It's sad that they have to deal with idiots on a daily basis.
Humans create medications to remove fluid build-up.
And HOW is that fluid build-up removed? D U H.......
Humans can send men to the moon but they can't PIS* on an airplane?
Nasty EARTHLINGS.
Ignorant ass!!
People act like animals on airplanes. Years ago, only the rich could afford air travel & you used to get dressed up to board a plane. Now it's just basically a bus up in the sky.
What he SHOULD have done was just BOGART his way past her, I'm sure that would have been no problem, and used the facilities! But what he did was gross and nasty!
Depardieu has always been a pig. ALWAYS. He not only acts the part -- now, he LOOKS the part. As for his movies, if he's in it, I don'*****ch it.
He couldn't hold it because he was drunk people. It's his responsibility not to get loaded before he boards a plane. I don't think alcohol should be served on the plane or in the airports because aholes like piggy who can't handle themselves. There should be no fly lists for belligerent aholes like piss pants.
That's the French for you. What a has been and a pig!
This dude keeps getting more and more disgusting as the years go by!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF?????????????
he's gross...
He has had issues for years. A flight attendant's worst nightmare. Most of his problems are self induced thru drinking.
"Vis-vous alors. Nettoyer cela!"
That is what he said

Scandensia ciervensis (Evans and Barbadillo 1998) Early Cretaceous~130 mya ~7 cm skull length was orginally considered a sister to living squamates (Iguania + Scleroglossa). Here we add the Tritosauria to that list. This key basal lepidosaur taxon was derived from a sister to Gephyrosaurus and Sophineta.
Distinct from Gephyrosaurus, the skull of Scandensia had a larger orbit and smaller rostrum with a larger naris. The tail was gracile. The ventral pelvis was deeper. Tendril-like digits with trenchant claws mark Scandensia as an arboreal climber. It had lightly-built vertebrae and thick ribs.
Evans and Barbadillo marked Scandensia as "unusual" because they want to fit it into the existing framework of squamates. And it doesn't quite fit! When they recognize the Tritosauria, they will find Scandensia is not so unusual after all.
Bolet and Evans(2011) described new material (LH 20523) they thought belonged to Scandensia, but that specimen nests with Tijubina.

Susan B. Butler is the CEO of The Susan Bulkeley Butler Institute for the Development of Women Leaders. Prior to founding the Institute, Butler established herself as an accomplished business leader. She joined Arthur Andersen & Co. as its first professional female employee in 1965, and 14 years later, was named the first female partner of its consulting organization, Andersen Consulting.
Butler holds a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial management and an Honorary Doctorate in management from Purdue University. As a philanthropist, she has endowed chairs, scholarships and the Butler Institute for Leadership Excellence. She received the Sagamore of the Wabash Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Governor of Indiana for distinguished service to the state. Butler is past president of Purdue's President's Council, and past member of the Board of Directors of the Purdue Research Foundation.
In an interview with the Times, Butler shares her views on the "glass ceiling", and whether or not true progress is being made in breaking down barriers for women in business.
The Times: How has the glass ceiling changed since you first encountered it in your career?
Susan B. Butler: The number of women CEO's in Fortune 500 companies have increased over the years. When Ginni Rometty was announced there would be 18 going into 2012. However, one (The CEO of Avon) has stepped down. We need to have 100 female CEO's by the year 2020 to get up to 20 percent. If we had at least one on each company board of directors we could achieve that goal. And there are qualified women available. Companies need to begin developing more women for senior leadership and boards of directors. That would increase the pipeline of qualified candidates. Women also need to be helping other women to be successful at these levels.
TT: What types of careers are good for women to consider, in terms of being accepted/promoted easier? Conversely, what careers might be more difficult to break through the glass ceiling?
SBB: I still believe that women should get more technical skills, such as math, science and technology. No matter where women choose to take their careers, these skills will be essential. Computers are going to be everywhere. Look at the changes that have been made just in the last few years.
Parents also need to be more focused on their daughters and granddaughters to make it a better world for them. These young women need mentoring and grooming just like their sons and grandsons. Men who have read my recent book, "Women Count: A Guide to Changing the World" have told me that every man should read it. They would truly understand where women are and where they aren't and why they should be where they aren't.
TT: Is it harder for a woman who is starting a career after raising children? Is it easier for younger women who may have youth/looks on her side?
SBB: I believe that women should start their careers after they graduate from high school and/or college. Women today will probably spend 30-plus years working. If they begin to develop a career prior to having children, they can probably continue to work part-time from home to continue. Then, after a few years, the mother can consider going back to work on a more full-time basis. In a recent book: "What Happy Working Mother's Know", it says that the kids want their mom's to be happy and if working does that for them, then the kids are happy.
There has been a big change in the last few years regarding people working from home. Many years ago there was an article in the Harvard Business review entitled the "Mommy Track". It was truly before it's time. But there is a real "Mommy Track" today, if women choose to take it.
TT: Public sector vs. private enterprise. Which one has made more advancement? Why?
SBB: Become the CEO of You, Inc. What is important is that women take responsibility of who they are and who they want to be. Women need to follow their passion and develop their resume with the skills, capabilities, and experiences to get the job they want. In today's world there are a lot more resumes each company has to review. Women need to send their resume to the company who will want to "buy" them to deliver value to their company.
Women will do better in their work if they are passionate about what they are doing and if they are using their skills. They should know what their skills are and match them with the jobs where they can use them.

Wiki Headlines
23rd Oct: It's time for the second TV Tropes Halloween Avatar Contest, theme: cute monsters! Details and voting here.
main index
"It looks like we've entered the middle phase of a typical reality TV contest. The weakest contestants left early, so instead of eliminating the person who did worst that week, they are going to get rid of the one who hasn't created any drama. Looks like Alex and Cameron will make it to the final episode."On competition-based Reality TV, especially Talent Shows, one needs to exhibit the talent or skill necessary to win in order to justify their continuing existence on the show. Some contestants just don't have that, and most are quickly jettisoned. However, sometimes a weak contestant will cheat elimination week after week, horrible performance after horrible performance. This is an Elimination Houdini. Personality can sometimes play a role, but it doesn't matter whether the contestant is a nice person or a Jerkass. There is one and only one trait required to be a Elimination Houdini: an utter lack of the talent necessary to win the show, especially in comparison to the other contestants, including those already eliminated. It's not enough for a contestant to be deemed incompetent by a mere sizable portion of viewers, though. There needs to be an overwhelming consensus that the Elimination Houdini just doesn't belong on the show anymore. What's more, this sentiment should also be shared by the other contestants (for shows with Confession Cams) or the judges (where the home audience votes and the judges have little to no influence anymore). And yet, somehow, they survive for weeks and weeks. In shows where the evictions are decided by judges, there may be Executive Meddling afoot, keeping a contestant on as a human Conflict Ball to drive up ratings. One the other hand, in shows with public votes, people will often vote to keep on a contestant who's So Bad They're Good at the expense of technically superior opponents. Either way, it's enough to get some loyal viewers to not watch again... at least for a week or two. It's not uncommon for these people to develop a hatedom that takes on a life all its own. There is also another form of Elimination Houdini, commonly seen in shows like Survivor in which the contestants vote people out and not the audience. They may be the second person or another target for elimination, but somehow manage to avoid it, and they can do it in several ways. Either they get lucky and someone makes a bone-headed move that gets them on the chopping block instead, they instead gun for a different threat, a Non-Gameplay Elimination spares them a round, or the Elimination Houdini manages to talk their way out of elimination and avoids death. If the players are moderately Genre Savvy, a bad player may become a Houdini through stronger players actively protecting them - why knock them out now when they could be easy competition in the finals? Often this happens when Tall Poppy Syndrome kicks up. It is actually fully possible for the Elimination Houdini to win. In shows about alliances, they may be somewhat of a "Deadly Floater" who floats along then slips through the cracks in alliances, or plays enough of a social game their Entitled Bastard opponent(s) get a good "Not you!" in the final round. Or, in a talent-based show, they have a fanbase who votes for them because they want to see them continue. Maybe they're So Bad, It's Good. The inverse is a Shocking Elimination, in which a favored contestant is cut earlier than expected, many times in the place of the Elimination Houdini.

Bottom Line: Preposition Remix is a therapy app addressing the use of prepositions and following directions. Designed for kids ages 4 and up, it is a nice app to add to your therapy collection. While this app focuses mainly on receptive language, with a few changes you can also work on expressive or written language as well.

See what I mean? The question on the previous page did not even ask Rex to call Mark out, but to simply talk about what Mark can improve on, which is a very reasonable question to ask. Yet, Rex dodges it, talking about what the offense can improve on. He should be able to talk about what his quarterback can get better at. He's made comments about other players before, remember how he called out Jeremy Kerley? He's done it, but he won't just talk about how his quarterback can get better. A member of the media picked up on this, and asked him if he is hesitant to point out Mark's problems. Here is what he had to say:
I think when you look at it, there are things that all of us can improve, and to saddle, to put that blame on one person, I don't think that's appropriate. I think, if anything, that would be it's more directed at me than it is anybody else. I have to fix that myself. How am I as a coach, I have to get better and get this team to where we don't turn the ball over, so I focus on those areas. But as a team we have to get better. You don't just put that on one individual. If that was the answer, is it's just one guy, then that's easy – but it's not. We have to protect the football as a football team.
In this case, he wasn't even asked what Mark's problems are, he was simply asked if he was hesitant to point them out, and Rex deflects that one too. He just won't talk about Mark in a negative light, and this is where fans get crazy.
Rex is loyal to a fault, and that comes into play here. That is why he sticks with aging guys on defense, like Bart Scott. Bart was a mainstay of his defense in Baltimore, and he came right over with him to New York. Bart has always been Rex's guy, and Rex is loyal to his guys. Bart stays in there and starts, even though he clearly can't stay with anyone in the passing game anymore, see the Vereen 83 yard touchdown as an example. Calvin Pace is another example of a guy that Rex is comfortable with, therefore loyal to, even though he doesn't have a lot left.
Same thing here with Mark. Rex just won't say a negative word about him, not a one. He simply parrots his "Mark gives us the best chance to win" line, without even giving anyone a reason for it. It might silence at least some of the writers, if he would simply give a reason for that statement. But no. It's strange, he won't even identify a place that Mark needs to improve at, and that drives everyone nuts. Rex won't criticize Mark because he is far too loyal of a guy, and it could end up being his undoing here.

What are the numbers you see Sony and Microsoft posting at the end of the year for Move and Kinect sales?
1:10 pm
I have a Kinect, but only because I bought several in order to sell them at a profit and pay for mine
It isn't bad, but works better for my kids because they're shorter. I only have about 6' or so from sensor to where my legs hit the back of the couch and it works for Kinect Adventures as long as I don't step forward or jump.
I was actually getting read to re-arrange my family room so that my wife could use her copy of Get Fit with Mel B. and increase the distance to about 8' so that she didn't kick the tv or hit the pull chains on our fan.
The move is definitely better in tight spots and poor lighting conditions. It is really about the kids for me though as the Kinect is most definitely not for the hardcore person (unless you consider Dance Central hardcore)
I'll try to post more once I have time to use it more. I do think that MS shouldn't have cut out the hardware processing to allow it to respond quicker, but it works
9:39 am
Good to know someone over here at PS3Blog won the copy of the Mel B game from the link that Oly posted. I've owned a Wii since launch so Move is an easier sell for me once the games are there. Kinect on the other hand has to convince me to buy a 360 (which I won't do because of the high failure rate, having to pay for Live and Microsofts bad, bad customer service) AND spend over $150 on a camera that sorta works when the planets align.
9:46 am
I'd like to add to EdEN's bad customer service post by saying I've received bad customer service from Sony more than I have from Microsoft. I'm still miffed about permanently losing two slots of my psn activation.
My room has been officially re-arranged, but I have not broken out any games since doing so because I've just been so tired. The kids have a tendency to wake up in the middle of the night for a myriad of reasons and my sleep gets interrupted
Both of my kids love Kinect Adventures and I like it from the aspect that it wears them out

Propel Ambassador House + Morning Sort Of Fun Run
|March 7, 2014
|Posted by Presley under Fitness, Life, Running
Happy Friday! I arrived at the Propel Ambassador house yesterday afternoon. Long story short, it's amazing. I still can't believe I'm really here. I cannot stress enough how grateful I am to Fitfluential and Propel for this opportunity.
We woke up to the most ridiculous view this morning.
The inside of the house is just as awesome. So bright and happy, right?
I feel very out of my element in a house this nice. Can I just pretend this is my pool? Will y'all go along with that?
After I finished drooling over our setup, we all got ready for a fun run. On a freaking mountain. Down was fun. Coming back up was a little more intense.
At least it was absolute gorgeous while we were torturing ourselves! I could get used to running here, that's for sure.
We came back to the breakfast of my dreams. Knowing we were coming back to this was definitely an incentive to run a little quicker up that big ol' hill.
So, yeah. I'm having a blast. We're gearing up for another workout and shoot now, so I have to go pretend to know what I'm doing. Eek!!

It looks like a blast, and wow, everything looks gorgeous. Glad you're having fun!
Question: Do you do your own blog maintenance/formatting stuff? I'm trying to figure out how to change the placement of an ad on my blog. If you know how to do that stuff, can you help a girl out?
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries recently posted..Hunter: 11 Months
Ashley, you should be able to place your ads in widgets on your site (assuming it's wordpress) Typically you copy and paste out the html code for the ad into a text widget onto the backend of your blog in the appearance –> widget section

on-the-clock tv reporter, off-the-clock lover of family, friends, open roads, moving music & a good cup of coffee.
I know everyone read Gatsby in high school, probably, but it's still one of my favorite books, and I'm not fussy about it — I can get down with Gatsby-inspired this & thats (bars, clothes, video games)…but I have to admit, I was nervous about the Gatsby movie. Part of me didn't even want to watch the trailer because Leo's not how I imagined Gatsby, and so I was just going to avoid the situation altogether, and then one of my friends who also loves the book sent me his thoughts on the trailer and I figured… fine.
And immediately, the first second hit, and "No Church in the Wild" started, and I was like "WHAT. IS. HAPPENING." It was so far from anything I could have expected that I'm not even upset. Is that Jack White covering a U2 song? Doesn't the aesthetic feel like a cross between Desperate Housewives and Revenge? That guy looks like Schmee from Hook. This crazy drunk lady needs to stop yelling so dramatically. Why is Peter Parker slicking his hair back like that?? Is there a reason I'm not seeing more of Isla Fisher? What's up with that car?
And so I watched it again. This time, I hated the narration, which felt like it was coming from Seth Cohen, and couldn't handle the dancing, and the music just felt silly.
And then I thought about it again… and maybe it's better, maybe it means something different, something more, when you juxtapose everything that is The Great Gatsby with everything that is "now." I'm assuming the movie will have period-appropriate music, but if it doesn't, that might actually be better… a blend of old and new; a way to make the themes translate. Or it could be just kind of absurd.
I guess the trailer did its job, though, because I'll definitely be seeing it.
fashion don't?: necessary glasses for life's awkward moments
Whether you're a micro-celebrity on the run from paparazzi… or (more likely) want to avoid the embarrassment of trip-and-fall, bad hair day, unattractive-cupcake-eating pictures on Facebook… or worse… it's now possible.
(Did I legitimately buy these $12 glasses because I think I will need them frequently? Yes, yes I did. But hey, you can't tell who's in this picture, now, can you?)
This is the kind of trailer that makes me miss drive-in movie theaters, the Midwest and days when I had a lot more time for and dedication to keeping up with movies.
Growing up we moved around a lot, but no matter where we were there was a drive-in movie theater, and summer days with my family drinking Coke and eating home-popped popcorn out of the back of our minivan are some of my best memories. As I got older family was replaced with friends, and eventually in high school the local drive-in was closed. When I went away to school I started dating a boy who, on our second date, surprised me with a trip to a drive-in movie theater 40 minutes away from campus and I was instantly smitten. A week before graduation, three of my best friends and I went to the drive-in and, the only four people in the parking lot, had what might have been one of the most fun nights of my life.
You can see any movie at a drive-in, but there are some that are made to be watched from the back bed of a pick-up (or the front seat with the windows rolled up, when it starts raining), and this is one of them. This is the kind of movie, also, that promises you'll leave satisfied. It's not junk food. It's something else.
I've always loved movies. There's nothing like the feeling you get 30 minutes in when you're settled in and away from everything else in the world. There's a lot of hope in a good movie.

Now don't get me wrong- I'll admit that I think the Instagr.am's photo filters make photos look pretty adorable and as if they came out of my parents' college photo album, and I 100% plan to use and probably abuse the instagr.am iPhone app photo privilege… But let's be real. You made fun of that girl from high school who now has 3 children and a dog but still has time to add filters to her photos…but now you are guilty of the same crime. Yeah, yeah- Picnik took genuine time and effort (I used it for the first time to create this masterpiece, so I know this for a fact) and instagr.am takes about a second and a half, and makes it much easier to share, etc etc etc, but let's be real…
Picnik : Facebook :: Instagram : Tumblr.
And that's that.

We see him growing up, getting married, going through cancer… the good times, the bad, and the way the world around him changed through the simple pages of photos. Worth a look, and some time.

The Varsity Jr. had been around for 45 years. For 43 of those years, Williams served countless customers and came to know more than 100 co-workers. Interacting with people from different backgrounds is what he said he will miss the most.

I love stories like this- little gems of wisdom embedded in stories that seem commonplace. Yes, the fact that the restaurant itself is closing is a story (if you live in Atlanta/surrounding area you know The Varsity, and probably The Varsity Jr., well)- but pieces like this- the people that make the story what it is- are the key to striking a chord.
