voy a envolverme en tu ropa,
susúrrame en tu silencio
cuando me veas llegar.
Hoy voy a verte de nuevo,
voy a alegrar tu tristeza:
vamos a hacer una fiesta
pa' que este amor crezca más.
Sorry my dear vt readers for this freaky introduction :-)). I am not a Gloria Estafan's fan but some landscapes on this video and its background Andean music always reminds me about happy moments spent during my trip to Peru.
El Valle Sagrado and especially Machu Picchu attracted me since my childhood. I think that Inca civilization, so rich and also so mysterious, is so interesting that during many years I collected many books, reviews and articles about it. Peru was a very desired trip, always on the top of my wishlist.
So let's travel to Los Andes, to El Valle Sagrado (The Sacred Valley), which borns in Pisac and follows the Urubamba river until Olaytantambo and Chinchero. Sacred for Incas, this is one of the bests places to see and understand about them. Its remains tell us about their daily life but also about their spirituality and beliefs. El Valle Sagrado means much more than the Inca Trail: stunning landscapes, small Andean villages still inhabited by quechua communities that keep their roots and traditions, multicolour markets, thermal springs, agricultural terraces and snow-covered peaks.
Take your time and visit El Valle Sagrado well. If you set your base camp in Cusco, you can do day trips using the "combi" (the local transport). They go to Valle Sagrado from Cusco following two routes: one through Pisac and the other through Chinchero both finishing in Urubamba. Once you are in Valle Sagrado, a secondary road joins all the small villages, from Urcos until Ollantaytambo. Almost all the hotels in Cusco have a cloakroom so you can leave your big backpack there and take a smaller one for your trips to the Valle Sagrado.
If you don't have a lot of time or you prefer a more comfortable trip, almost all the travel agencies in Cusco offer you guided day trips. You just need to go to Plaza de las Armas and choose the one that suits you.
If you are traveling to Valle Sagrado on your own, make sure you buy the "Boleto" before starting your trip. You will be able to visit 16 sites saving a lot of money. You can find this boleto in different places in Cusco (Avenida del Sol) and you can use it during 9 days.
- Pros:stunning landscapes, culture, traditions, archeology
- In a nutshell:Some days between the Incas

Lil Wayne and Pusha T may have an issue, but don't expect the two rappers to drag their respective crews into it. On Friday Weezy dropped the first single from his I Am Not a Human Being II, "My Homies Still," with G.O.O.D. Music's Big Sean. Though Pusha T and Sean are a part of Kanye's musical family, the YMCMB camp isn't looking to go into an all-out battle royale.
"It's not like that. I don't see it like that. That's not what we in the game for," Young Money president Mack Maine told MTV News of a potential G.O.O.D./YMCMB dustup. "If it ever came to that, God forbid, that's a whole different story, but right now we're just tryin' to get paper, we're just tryin' to get money, man, and make good music. And that was a great song that was made before that situation happened, and I'm not 'bout to go into the studio and tell Wayne to take [Big Sean] off. Wayne not tryna take him off — he's good peeps, he's fam."
G.O.O.D.'s Kid Cudi did appear to take a side last Thursday, however, when he tweeted, "I love my n—a Pusha T, f— anybody who feel different. We aint ho's out here," in response to Wayne's diss. But there has been no talk of the beef since. Regardless of any controversy, the Young Money president is pretty pumped for Weezy's new track, which he says was recorded before Tune dropped "Goulish," the diss track that came in response to Pusha T's "Exodus 23:1."
"It's crazy — I can't front. Unbiased opinion: It's crazy. I hope the world feels the same," Mack said before commending Big Sean for his recent guest appearances with G.O.O.D. Music, Meek Mill, Chris Brown and now Weezy. "He killed it. I think that's big for him. We're always collabin' with people and he earned it, he earned his way. He's been handling his weight on different tracks, and it's his time."
So what about "Goulish"? "In a nutshell, if a gnat or a fly keep flyin' around you, eventually you gonna swing and swat it and just get it out the way," Mack said, using an analogy in which Pusha would play the insect. "Sometimes you swat it and the gnat dies; sometimes it just go away. … You can keep flyin', just fly somewhere else, though. We chillin'."
What do you think of Lil Wayne's "My Homies Still"? Let us know in the comments!

Waterfront Sunset
Last light
Welcome to the Waterfront Motel
There were originally five tribes of the Ngarrindjeri people who occupied the Coorong and Meningie district.
The name "Meningie" is widely accepted to be taken from the Aboriginal word meaning "mud".
First European exploration was by Captain Charles Sturt in approx 1830 which was followed by overlanders who brought sheep and cattle.
By 1840s the area was established with large properties and the ferry at Wellington was operating. Meningie was a staging post for the stagecoach traveller en-route to Melbourne and the goldfields of Ballarat.
Today it is a great place to relax and unwind, enjoy pleasant walks along the shores of Lake Albert, marvel at the stunning sunsets over the lake and enjoy the prolific birdlife.
Situated on the shores of the largest freshwater lake system in Australia, Meningie is an ideal stopover on the Adelaide - Melbourne route or on the way to or from Kangaroo Island. It is a wonderful base from which to explore the unique Coorong National Park.

"I really have a good sense of the district and a sense of benefits that this bill will provide to the district," Klein said in an afternoon conference call with reporters.
"Ultimately I think it's the right thing to do and people will judge you based on using your best judgment and I'm very comfortable that I'm using my best judgment in making this decision."
The legislation purports to reduce Medicare payments by $500 billion over the next decade without reducing benefits. Klein's district has about 125,000 Medicare recipients.
"These are not cuts in benefits. They're cuts to their profit margin," said Klein, citing Congressional Budget Office and General Accounting Office estimates that the savings can be achieved by curbing overpayments, waste, fraud and abuse.
Klein also says seniors will gain from features such as the closure of the notorious gap in Medicare prescription drug coverage known as the "doughnut hole."
Critics say the bill's advertised $500 billion in Medicare savings won't be realized and the alternative will be benefit cuts, higher taxes or larger deficits.
"That figure will mean a decrease in services to our seniors and also with this bill passing you're going to see doctors refusing Medicare patients. Our seniors are going to be adversely affected," said Klein's Republican challenger, Allen West.

Dasgip and the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology (IZI) are partnering conducting stem-cell research to find alternatives to drug testing that do not require animals. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research is subsidizing this project to the tune of €1.1 million.
About 50% of preclinical tests are performed to explore the bone harming and thus the embryotoxic potential of drug candidates, the collorators note. Nicole zur Nieden, leader of the stem cell group at the Fraunhofer Institute, is developing a method to identify the bone harming potential in vitro. Dasgip will contribute its bioreactor system to the project.
Nieden's work involves simulating and monitoring the multiphase differentiation process of pluripotent stem cells in a controlled bioreactor system. By adding compounds with known in vivo osteotoxic potential, adverse effects on the differentiation will be identified. Nonhuman embryonic primate stem cells will be compared to human progenitor cells to study varying molecular reactions compared to mice.

Fairfax County, Va., got religion during the early 1980s when it came to enticing employers into what is now an affluent suburban enclave of the Washington, D.C., area.
A key factor in that ascent was the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA), a 42-person government organization charged with drawing businesses to the county. To do that, FCEDA employees specialize in different business fields and befriend global and domestic companies in those sectors.
The organization maintains external offices in London; Bangalore, India; Frankfurt, Germany; Seoul, South Korea; and Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel. In July 2005, the FCEDA expanded its reach in the technology market by establishing its first U.S. external office in Silicon Valley.
Getting Techies
Technology firms currently account for 4,900 of Fairfax County's 29,995 payroll establishments, according to the FCEDA, and technology workers fill 119,000 of the county's 564,520 jobs.
The FCEDA aims to increase those numbers with its new Silicon Valley office run by Leo Campbell, a local professional hired to pitch the value of expanding to Fairfax County.
"We continue to travel periodically from Virginia to all these markets, but the fact is you can't go to a market occasionally," said Gerald Gordon, president of the FCEDA. "This is a relationship-building business. You have to have somebody who's there, meets people at chamber meetings, bumps into them on the golf course, visits their company, establishes relationships, so that when that businessman or -woman decides they need an East Coast location, or is ready to expand, Fairfax County is on their mind."
Gordon said he wanted to establish a physical presence in Silicon Valley for years but hesitated, fearing charges of stealing companies from California. However, he said, California officials are now more receptive to the idea that expanding to Fairfax makes California companies more competitive in the federal contracting market.
"When we sat down in Palo Alto, [Calif.], we had some conversations with elected officials telling them we're not coming to steal companies; we're coming to offer them expansion opportunities that will bring money back to California so everybody wins," Gordon said. "In fact, we have Fairfax companies that probably want access to the West Coast markets. We can make this a two-way street."
The FCEDA started talking with Silicon Valley companies a few years ago when defense spending surged. Gordon said he expects the recent increase in homeland security contracts and the FCEDA's new California presence to further pique those companies' interest in Fairfax County.
New Kids on the Block
Tom Patterson, CEO of Command Information, a firm offering Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6)-related services, established the company in Fairfax County in 2005. The FCEDA played a significant role in that decision by assisting Patterson and his growing team in becoming Washington, D.C.-savvy.
"They introduced us to the local political scene, helped us figure out who our congresspeople were," Patterson said. "They helped us arrange to have [Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine] come out and do a ribbon cutting on our new training center a month or so ago. They've really been terrific."
After six months of networking at every Washington cocktail party that Command Information executives could fit into their schedules, they announced the company and started business in January 2005. Command Information, which made $50 million in its first year of operation, runs two locations in Fairfax County employing roughly 300 people. "We're trying to hire a person a day," Patterson said.
The FCEDA introduced Patterson to the dean of the engineering department at George Mason University in Fairfax where the company is now recruiting employees.
"I knew George Mason got to the final four," Patterson said. "I had no idea they had such a great engineering department. To be able to just walk in at

Zoomerang: Online Survey Application That Puts It Together
This is the fourth application in our week of online survey application reviews. For an introduction to the topic, including features common to survey applications, please see our post, Online Surveys: Feedback Through Web 2.0.
Zoomerang is an application that lets users do more than create a survey – it keeps it all organized, from the creation, managing, and response – all from a dashboard.
Creating surveys with Zoomerang can be done in one of two ways; either by template or by crafting one of your own by the step-by-step process Zoomerang provides. Questions and answers can be written in as the user likes with html markup. Direct questions, multiple choice, and write-in responses are some of the options that survey managers can choose.
Deploying a survey can be done several ways with Zoomerang: sent via your own address, by generating an url, or by purchasing survey responses. Sending by your own email allows you to send reminders, track recipients, and has the advantage of scheduling deployment. Creating a link to your survey and sending via email has the advantage of allowing anonymous replies and quick linking from sites or emails. A last option for sending out surveys is to utilize a survey service that will access a body of people for you. Zoomerang has a ready link for quotes for survey takers, which is handled by TrueSample.
Reports – getting the results from your surveys – are found under their own tab (Analyze Results), where a dashboard which will show responses (updated every few seconds) and the survey details (visits and completes, and partials) both graphically and numerically.
The advantage of Zoomerang is how easily the process is made; the dashboard keeps everything within arms reach – all of the editing, creating, and results of the surveys are all located in the dashboard. Everything that the survey creator would want, even individual responses and exporting the raw data is never more than two clicks from the dashboard.
Free accounts are limited to seeing the first 100 responses and 30 questions per survey, and Pro accounts (annual memberships run $199 with a discount for educators and nonprofits) have unlimited responses and questions. Advanced deployment, including mobile phones and targeted audiences are available with the Premium account ($599 annually).

Modern Art & Design Auction

more information
Long before Karl Benjamin (born 1925) began his influential career as a California Hard Edge painter, he had aspirations of becoming a writer. A student at the University of Redlands in 1946, fresh off a three-year tour as a naval officer in World War II, Benjamin was likely unaware of the boundless vocabulary of color – rather than words – he would construct over a 60-year painting career. He graduated three years later with teaching credentials and a degree in literature, philosophy, and history. Married with a family, Benjamin began teaching at an elementary school in Bloomington, California, where he was required to teach art for at least 45 minutes a week. Preferring to teach literature and writing, he ignored the arts requirement until his principal intervened. Benjamin begrudgingly passed out crayons and paper and famously announced to the class, "Fill up the space with pretty colors and don't mess around."
Inspired by his students' abstract creations as well as visits to local museums and galleries, two years later he started painting his own color experiments. From then on, while teaching elementary school in Claremont for thirty years, he steadily painted distinct compositions of subtly changing hues and interrelated shapes. Only three years after his first venture into painting, he achieved a solo exhibition at the Pasadena Art Museum in 1954. Five years later he was featured in the 1959 Los Angeles County Museum of Art exhibition "Four Abstract Classicists" along with Lorser Feitelson, John McLaughlin, and Frederick Hammersley, which later traveled to Great Britain under the name "West Coast Hard Edge." He continued teaching at the elementary school level for thirty years until 1977, and two years later he was appointed Professor of Art at Pomona College. Throughout the remaining decades of the twentieth century, Benjamin achieved numerous honors and exhibitions, including two National Endowment for the Arts grants in 1983 and 1989.
Some of his earliest paintings, including Yellow Landscape (1953), articulate his Abstract Expressionist influences, though Benjamin finds his own voice in undulating landscapes growing through an expansive palette of corresponding colors. After 1954, his Hard Edge style had become more geometric, characterized by "an intensive exploration of color," as seen in V.S. (1960), a collection of alternating stripes of warm color that congregate against an evolving pink and gray background. Benjamin was known to work on several different paintings at a time, reusing specific shapes and colors. For example, ten years after V.S., he revisits stripes in a more visually jarring Op Art composition, #7 (1977). While many of Benjamin's works seem to follow the symmetry and boldness of Op Art, Benjamin in 1986 commented, "I am an intuitive painter, despite the ordered appearance of my paintings, and am fascinated by the infinite range of expression inherent in color relationships."
LAMA interview with Karl Benjamin
April 30, 2012
Paul Des Marais: Can you tell us about your time as a teacher? I read somewhere that when you were forced to teach more art in the classroom, you gave the students crayons and said, "Just fill up the space with pretty colors and don't mess around." Soon afterwards you started painting on your own.
Karl Benjamin: I was interested in the pictures that the kids were doing. Like the poetry they wrote (which was more my familiar field at that time) they made beautiful work coming from a very unsophisticated background with little access to current culture – it came from deep within them when they were given permission to free it from preconceived notions of what art was supposed to be. It made me feel like, "If they could do this, so could I." And that inspired my confidence in painting myself. I knew an art professor at the University of Redlands who was very supportive in what I was trying to do and encouraged me to utilize what was left on the GI Bill in order to have the time to study art. Afterwards I continued to teach elementary school for 30 years and painted every day at home. Eventually, I was asked to apply as a professor of art at Pomona College and Claremont Graduate University. By that time I had amassed a sizeable exhibition record. I taught there until retirement.
PD: We're lucky to have one of your earliest and most stunning paintings, Yellow Landscape (1953). What was your inspiration for this piece?
KB: It's one of my favorite paintings to this day. It was not a painting of a particular place, it made a particular place. The surreal aspect of the painting was a way station on the way to 20th century painting. To rise above Realism was paying a debt to non-objective painting.
PD: At the time, did you, Frederick Hammersley, Lorser Feitelson, and John McLaughlin realize the potential impact you could make on the current art scene? Tell us a little bit about that first meeting that led to the "Four Abstract Classicists" show at LACMA in 1959.
KB: Would make, not could make. There are no short answers to this question. We said, "There's something new here." A new "style" is too arbitrary a word, as if we were intellectually choosing how to paint. We knew each other's painting and felt we were kindred spirits even though we were painting independently and had arrived there separately from different backgrounds. But we wanted our work to be shown and for people to see it. Peter Selz was a teacher and he wanted to show this new emerging type of work, so he pulled us together. The work actually all came from very different places inside each of us.
PD: Hammersley used his "hunch" method to paint while Feitelson seemed to draw inspiration from the human body. Did you have a method or process you'd revisit for each painting or was your style more free form?
KB: I was trying to paint like all the new things I was seeing. I'd see an artist that I liked and try to do that kind of painting. This was at the very beginning because I was by myself, not a student. In some paintings, I'd start with charcoal lines on the canvas; sketch, change, and erase until the shapes felt right. There would be an intuitive urge to paint red or pink or whatever; the exact color would decide itself as I mixed it. Then the next color I mixed would be in accordance with the previous one. Some paintings, like the triangles, were series that were expressing a pre-determined idea, although sometimes with randomly chosen placement. The specific shades and particulars of the color were all based on intuition, which ones were right.

Let me pass on two stories of hiring people who were straight out of the military. One was an amazing hire; the other was pretty much a bust.
What do we do when experienced employees don't want to mentor fresh blood? Specializing in products for which experienced talent is hard to recruit, my company has to focus a lot on developing new talent and training them on the technical skills to build a critical talent pipeline. Because of the overall economic volatility, the employees feel insecure of losing what they have. We have found out through exit interviews that young talent is leaving us because they receive little help and training from their seniors. We suspect fear of losing their current position is the reason. What do we do?

Texas Congressman Ron Paul thinks that the media and the public are being too hard on President Obama for his response to the Gulf Oil Spill…
Rep. Ron Paul, the libertarian Republican lawmaker from Texas, said that people were expecting too much from the president in his ability to react to the ongoing spill into the Gulf.
"I'm a pretty big critic of the president," Paul said during an appearance on "Imus in the Morning" on the Fox Business Network, "but I just don't see the justification for coming down hard on the president."
"I think it represents the idea that the American people think the president is everything to everybody that he should fix an oil leak," Paul added.

More Clean Water In The Courts – The Accotink Creek Decision
Recently we described the results of the Supreme Court's decision in Los Angeles County Flood Control District v. Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), which was a narrow one. Another Clean Water Act case, Virginia Department of Transportation vs. Environmental Protection Agency [PDF] addresses the cleanup of Accotink Creek, a tributary to the Potomac River in Fairfax County, the City of Fairfax and the Town of Vienna, Virginia. Decided by the Eastern District of Virginia in favor of the state DOT (and local governments), the case also has a limited holding.
Accotink Creek is one of many of our streams and rivers that has yet to meet water quality standards established in all states starting in the 1970s to protect our waters for swimming, fishing and drinking. Under the Clean Water Act section 303(d), waters that fail to meet such standards then need to be cleaned up by setting a pollution budget, known as a 'total maximum daily load' (TMDL).Since 1996, Accotink Creek has been officially listed as failing to meet water quality standards based on aquatic life, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was finally forced to establish a TMDL for the Creek after Virginia failed to do so.
TMDLs are one of the Clean Water Act's key tools to achieve a comprehensive approach to cleaning up water pollution by addressing both point sources (e.g. storm sewers) and non point sources (e.g. polluted runoff from farms). The clean up plan for the Chesapeake Bay, for instance, is driven by a TMDL to improve nutrient polluted waters. But because a TMDL does require a wider range of groups and people to take responsibility for the pollution they generate, the process for listing waters as needing a TMDL (the 303(d) list) and implementing them has become controversial and dogged by feet dragging efforts in many places.
So back in Accotink Creek, EPA studied and analyzed water quality data and determined that "sedimentation caused by excessive stormwater runoff" [PDF] was the most probable cause of water quality violations. EPA then established a relationship between stormwater flow and sediment, and chose to set limits on stormwater flow necessary to reduce sediment as part of the TMDL, using what's referred to as a "surrogate" approach.
In doing so, the Agency shifted from using the traditional pollutant of concern approach and setting specific limits on sediment, to a more innovative approach that makes sense given the relationship between stormwater runoff and sediment. This approach, while not the norm, has been used successfully in a number of states. Moreover, this approach is consistent with EPA's regulations that state that a TMDL "can be expressed in terms of either mass per time, toxicity, or other appropriate measure."
So what's the problem? It turns out that the state and local governments specifically opposed the surrogate approach, and decided to challenge it in court. It should be emphasized that the plaintiffs did not disagree with EPA's science – they recognized that sediment was the problem and that there was a relationship between stormwater flow and sediment. The legal claim was that the Clean Water Act's TMDL provisions require control of a "pollutant" (like sediment), which is specifically defined under the law, and does not specifically allow surrogates to be used as part of a TMDL. The judge using a narrow reading of the law agreed with the plaintiffs, and ruled that EPA could not use surrogates for "non pollutants" (like stormwater runoff that carries pollutants) under section 303.
While the ruling sends this specific TMDL back to the drawing board, some have argued that EPA had a much stronger case than the opinion would imply, perhaps supporting an appeal by the Agency. In the meantime, the ruling does not affect many places like Delaware that have chosen to regulate stormwater as a pollutant, nor does it affect EPA's upcoming updates to the post-construction stormwater rule, which fall under a completely different section of the Act (section 402).
Although some local and state governments and industry groups are claiming major implications for the stormwater rule, section 402 specifically grants EPA the authority to issue permits for discharges of municipal stormwater, provided such permits include "controls to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable, including management practices, control techniques and systems, design and engineering methods, and such other provisions as the Administrator or the State determines appropriate for the control of such pollutants" (emphasis added). EPA's consideration of setting a retention-based performance standard for post-construction runoff is well within its authority.
At its heart, this case was driven by questions about the best ways to invest in clean water for our rivers and for our communities. Places like Richmond, Virginia, named the best river town by Outside magazine, have benefited from improvements in the James River that wouldn't have occurred without a strong Clean Water Act. Many of the approaches associated with controlling stormwater flow that are objected to, like requiring homeowners and businesses to control water on-site, may be the smartest and most cost-effective way for communities to allocate clean up costs. While this TMDL might come back with limits on sediment instead of stormwater flow, there's still a requirement to clean up Accotink Creek.

The Lion King has been converted to 3-D. Bill Desowitz talks to the folks who did it, and the original filmmakers, who look back on what it took to make the groundbreaking animated juggernaut in the first place.
There's been plenty of revisionist outrage about George Lucas digitally tweaking Star Wars for the "Complete Saga" Blu-ray set, which streets Sept. 16. Let's at least wait and see how it looks before passing final judgment. But, in the meantime, there's also some anger about converting Disney's The Lion King to 3-D, which gets a two-week theatrical run beginning the same day. After all, this is the reigning hand-drawn box office champ at $328.5 million and fourth overall on the all-time list of animated features, so people are very protective of their childhood memories.
Having seen it twice, however, I can report that the added depth was definitely worth the experience. There's something extra special about witnessing the grandeur of the opening "Circle of Life" sequence in 3-D: the celebration of Simba's birth, the introduction of the wildlife kingdom and the African Pride Lands. The flight of Zazu the bird takes on an added dimension before settling in on the royal presence of King Mufasa. Likewise, the horrifying danger of the wildebeest stampede also enhances the movie's theatricality when viewed stereoscopically.
On the other hand, there's no denying that the dimness factor (still an inherent problem with 3-D viewing) negates the enjoyment of the full color palette. We'll just have to wait for the Blu-ray release on Oct. 4 to rectify that.
Still, it's a noteworthy achievement for post-converting hand-drawn animation, given the paper cut-out fear that used to persist just a few years ago. Disney stereographer Robert Neuman worked diligently for four months with a staff of 60 artists and four sequence supervisors to do justice to the 1994 classic. But first he needed to figure out the right aesthetic.
"I had to re-imagine what was in the minds of the original artists," Neuman recalls. "What kind of depth were we seeing? What would characters look like? Then I had to do this in a way that would enhance the storytelling and maximize viewing comfort, which is always a delicate balancing act."
Fortunately, The Lion King was made using the pioneering digital ink and paint system called CAPS (developed by Disney and Pixar), of which the stampede was an early example of computerized character animation prior to the Pixar animated features. That meant they had all of the original data archived electronically. Unfortunately, they had to write modern software to convert the '94 technology. But they also designed tools to help sculpt the depth of the shots.
"Our challenge was to try and create depth in a hand-drawn movie, but there's also a tangible quality to CG animation," Neuman adds. "You want to reach out and touch the toys in Toy Story. By creating the fusion of 2D animation with stereoscopic 3-D, we feel like we're creating a new medium with a fresh look."
Neuman communicated depth through the process of mark up. He drew on each of the 1,200 shots, quantifying the amount of parallax through pixels, which also ensured continuity among the artists. He also inflated the characters, which were enhanced by their vertical designs.
Yet prior to working on the 3-D conversion, producer Don Hahn hadn't seen The Lion King in about 15 years. Apparently neither had the directors, Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff. So they had forgotten a lot of the pain they went through to make the movie. "For quite a while, we thought it would be a turkey," Hahn admits. "I couldn't get animators to work on it. They wanted to work on Pocahontas and some of the other upcoming movies. That made sense because we were making Broadway musical-type movies and that was Alan Menken's next movie. So they naturally thought it would be our next hit."
But they wanted to do Joseph meets Hamlet in Africa with music by Elton John, and it just didn't connect with the animators. But this "Circle of Life" thing took hold and became an unexpected phenomenon, and the the result was that it propelled a whole new generation of animators, including Andreas Deja (who supervised the deliciously villainous Scar) and Tony Bancroft (who supervised the lovable warthog, Pumbaa).
"Rightly or wrongly, they thought they could do as well as Walt Disney's generation of animators," Hahn suggests. "Whether they did or not is moot. But we thought we could do something special with these animals just as Walt's generation did with Jungle Book. It's like a hand-written letter. It's very nostalgic and humbling in a funny way and we definitely didn't want to screw it up when we put it in 3-D."

Another Day as Emily
by Eileen Spinelli
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Suzy has reached her limit. Her 4 year old brother is the town hero for calling 911 when their neighbor, Mrs. Harden suffers "a spell". Attention is being heaped on him 24 hours a day, which Suzy views as an injustice since she was the one who comforted Mrs. Harden while they awaited the ambulance. To add insult to injury, Suzy's best friend got a role in the community theater production while Suzy was passed over for any part at all. Suzy's summer seems to be a total loss as her plans to see a Phillies game with her dad have fallen through. Inspired by a "Tween Time" library program, Suzy decides to live her life as Emily Dickenson did; wearing white dresses, staying in her room, and communicating with friends via written letters only. She soon learns that the life a recluse is harder than she thought.
Emily's brother is deemed a hero after calling 911 and saving someone's life, and Emily is jealous. Emily, hence, is searching for her recognition–for her place in the universe. She coaxes her friend Alison to sign up for Tween Time at the library and all summer they read about people from the 1800s. Emily chooses Emily Dickinson, and gets quite wrapped up in emulating the author's life out of the public eye. Alison coaxes Emily to audition for a play - and Emily is devastated when she doesn't get the part. Dealing with the ups and downs of daily life, this novel in verse is a quick read that introduces many important historical figures -- hence creating an opening for additional research.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0449809870, Hardcover)Eleven-year-old Suzy just can't win. Her brother is a local hero for calling 911 after seeing their elderly neighbor collapse, and only her best friend was able to win a role in the play they both auditioned for. Feeling cast aside from all angles, Suzy sees a kindred spirit in Emily Dickinson, the subject of her summer project. Suzy decides to escape from her disappointments by emulating the poet's life of solitude: no visitors or phone calls (only letters delivered through her window), no friends (except her goldfish, Ottilie), and no outings (except church, but only if she can wear her long white Emily dress).
But being a recluse is harder than Suzy predicted. Will she find a way to fold Emily into her life while also remaining true to herself?

Where Is Your Asteroid Apophis – Serpent Of Chaos?
Asteroid Apophis gets around – he is the Ancient Egyptian "Serpent Of Chaos" – the baddest creature in their pantheon for sure – a baddie on Stargate (see above) and possibly a little bit camp – and the asteroid-most-likely to strike Earth, if one was going to. Note: NASA was worried about this possiblity in 2036 or something but now they are not.
But asteroid Apophis is making a near-Earth run this week and next – in Virgo. Virgoans, do you feel any more evil than usual? There is nothing much else going on in Virgo to mitigate this so i would expect at least a power-show of Virgo Snark?
From this pic it looks like Cat Goddess Bast or Lion Goddess Sekhmet + Maat (the Truth Goddess) were definite defenses against crap from Apophis BUT the Serpent of Chaos was apparently being constantly destroyed and then regenerating himself. So you can look up Apophis in your chart -asteroid 99942 – and see if it resonates. Regenerative, Scorpio, Pluto sort of an energy?

Before the Big Bang: The Prehistory of Our Universe
by Brian Clegg
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The Big Bang plus Inflation, colliding branes, holographic principles ... they are all here and given equal time. Really emphasized how much we DON'T know about the creation of the universe. Materialists like to pretend it is well understood, but it is a BIG MYSTERY.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312385471, Hardcover)
According to a recent survey, the most popular question about science from the general public was: what came before the Big Bang? We all know on some level what the Big Bang is, but we don't know how it became the accepted theory, or how we might know what came before. In Before the Big Bang, Brian Clegg (the critically acclaimed author of Upgrade Me and The God Effect) explores the history of this remarkable concept. From the earliest creation myths, through Hershel's realization that the Milky Way was one of many galaxies, to on-going debates about Black Holes, this is an incredible look at the origins of the universe and the many theories that led to the acceptance of the Big Bang. But in classic scientist fashion Clegg challenges the notion of the "Big Bang" itself, and raises the deep philosophical question of why we might want to rethink the origin of the universe. This is popular science at its best, exploratory, controversial, and utterly engrossing.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:06:05 -0400)
Explores the history of the big bang theory while considering the myriad beliefs about what may have compelled it, providing coverage of such topics as creation myths, the discovery of other galaxies, and ongoing debates about black holes.

This is a variation on the old Shut the Box addition game, but instead of one row of numbers to add and flip down, this game has two sets of tiles to flip down. The advanced game comes with numerals from one to nine in a handsome red tin with a curved front where the dice are thrown. Match them or add them. Your object is to be the player with the lowest score at the end of your round. 10-20 minutes a round. Good for 8 to adult. For younger players, consider Double Shutter Jr. with numerals from 1-6. Again, there is a double set of tiles.

Nice advert for the Mini. I love that bike! I ride my Mini more than any of my other folders.
Looks like you ended up with a non-extending stem post? Congrats. How's it working out for you?
I also replaced the stem and bars with nicer stuff, and use Ergon grips.

How's the hub gear responding? Do you have any problems with skipping or mushy gears?
As for gear skipping, there is a bit of that, especially 5th gear, and I have to make sure the adjustment marks are exactly aligned, there is virtually no tolerance for error. I think part of the reason may be the cable housing which is the helical wound type instead of compressionless housing. I find that when folding, I have to try and remember to shift to 8th gear to relax the inner cable, and for leaving overnight it helps to leave it in 1st gear, providing maximum compressive force on the housing so it settles that way.

Awesome. I think your daughter deserves a Mini too!
much better lookin than the ole farth in the pics .....
therefore I think she deserves a good lookin Curve instead
and off to the Chicago boat show ...
add a liberal amount of smileys and stuff ....
have a great RED one on my very GREEN Bike Friday. I like the way the bolt pivots as you tighten it.
Since you are at 1" above MAX at 5'10", I would likely have a hard time on a mini at 6'3".
Interesting about the ease of removing the 1.75" tires.
Fabulous pictures Jur !!
Very nice !
Yep, shortening is straightforward, the tube is parallel all the way. I am toying with that idea, haven't done it since there is no pressing need. After cutting shorter, a new slot with strain relief hole needs to be made, easy as well.

The Unit's Established Goal:
The goal of the Office for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Administration and Academic Programs is to provide effective leadership in the development, coordination, implementation and assessment of a comprehensive array of programs to promote diversity and the understanding of differences at UAB.
Objectives of the Unit:
- To support the African American Faculty Association, the Commission on the Status of Women, the Black Graduate Student's Association, Manos Juntas and other diverse groups in their efforts to ensure that minorities and women receive fair and equitable treatment at UAB.
- To effectively implement scholarship and fellowship programs for minority students and women.
- To support recruitment and retention efforts as well as fund faculty development awards.
- To establish committees to advise and assist in diversity implementation and oversight.
The unit has primary responsibility for all scholarship, fellowship, grant and supplement programs funded through the OVPDEI. These include: the Graduate and Undergraduate Comprehensive Minority Faculty and Student Development Programs; the Title VI Program; the Alabama Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Program; the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Enhancement Program, the LSAMP Summer Bridge Program and the Bridge to the Doctorate Program.
The unit is also responsible for the UAB Diversity Awareness Education Program, the Diversity Passport Program and UAB Affirmative Action Officers and Diversity Contacts.
While the administration and academic programs unit confers regularly with the vice president in implementing the overall OVPDEI academic and administrative priorities, the office of the vice president focuses attention more on external constituencies, while the unit attends to their day-to-day functioning.
The administration and academic programs unit also assists with the development of strategic initiatives, publications, grant submissions, alliance communications, event planning and organizing conferences, both on and off campus- all of which are supportive of the diversity, equity and academic goals of the university and the OVPDEI.

I thought I'd make a journal to update the status of this account but the new journal format is... surreal o.o
This account is more or less in 'lurker' mode now, I haven't submitted work in years and I have no intention to become active again any time soon. We have stopped breeding cats now and are focusing on other projects.
I'm giving a lot more focus and attention to my mental health, which I probably should have done much sooner. Blogging in a diary like fashion has really helped put things in perspective and is surprisingly theraputic, it's remarkable how much it has helped me in the last couple of years. In addition to this I am spending more time with my friends and taking time to study, which is lovely.
Depending on my views on privacy and how I'm feeling on a given day, you will probably catch the link to my private blog on a good day if interested. My usual blog for normal reblogs and derpings is always linked if interested.
That's all I have to say right now A big thank you for all the follows and favs, I do still see them and appreciate them. I hope everyone is doing well!

Another Special 3-Month CD Rate at HomeBanc - Florida Only
HomeBanc has another short-term CD special. The new one is a 3-month CD with a 1.50% APY. Minimum deposit is $5,000, and the maximum deposit is $75,000. Only one CD offer is allowed per household. Funds must be new money to HomeBanc, and the offer is not available to customers who have participated in CD promotions and closed their HomeBanc accounts within the previous 24 months. This special rate is listed at the bank's rates page as of 1/28/2014.
This bank has a history of offering short-term CD specials. In previous months it had been offering a 1.35% 3-month CD. Rates were much higher several years ago. Back in 2008 (the good old days) it was offering a 6% 3-month CD.
HomeBanc offers a free checking account with no monthly fees and no minimum balance. The bank is also a member of Publix Presto! ATM network for surcharge-free ATM use.
According to the details listed in the rates page, only Florida deposits are accepted. HomeBanc branches are located in the Florida cities near Orlando in Winter Park and Lake Mary and on the Florida west coast in Tampa, Clearwater, Belleair Bluffs and Sarasota.
Bank Overview
The bank's financial health has improved over the last year. It now has an overall health grade at DepositAccounts.com of an A+ with a Texas Ratio of 2.40% (excellent) based on September 2013 data. Please refer to our financial overview of HomeBanc for more details. The bank has been a FDIC member since 2007 (FDIC Certificate # 58194).
Is a 3-Month CD Worthwhile?
One thing to keep in mind is that a high rate has less value for short-term CDs, especially for terms of only 3 months. For example, if you open this special CD with a maximum deposit of $75,000, the total interest that you would earn for those 3 months would be about $281. If you kept that money in a savings account that pays 0.90% APY (like at Barclays) and the bank maintains that rate for 3 months, the total interest would be about $169. So the advantage of this 3-month CD special over the savings account would be about $112.
After the special CD matures, you'll most likely have to move your money to another bank if you want to keep earning competitive rates. HomeBanc's standard 3-month CD rate is only 0.15%, and its standard 5-year CD rate is only 1.00%.
How This CD Rate Compares
Any rates over 1.00% are very competitive for terms under 1 year in today's environment. One all-access credit union, Communitywide FCU, is offering a special 6-month CD with a 2.00% APY, but there's a maximum deposit of $50K and there are checking account requirements. Without caps and checking requirements, the best rate is a 1.00% APY for a 7-month term at Xceed Financial Credit Union.
Another good short-term deal is at EverBank which continues to offer an intro rate of 1.10% guaranteed for 6 months on its checking account (up to $100K) and money market account (up to $50K).
Searching for Top CD Rates
To search for nationwide CD rates and CD rates in your state, please refer to the best CD rates section of DepositAccounts.com.

- Gainward's Hollywood@Home Roundup
There's no doubting Gainward make awesome graphics cards (particularly within their Golden Sample range), but did you know they cover a bunch of other multimedia products too? Under the Hollywood@Home tag, HEXUS take a look at a triplet of products from Gainward today. Namely the TV2Go (a funky little USB TV tuner), the Music2Go (a nifty looking 7.1 USB soundcard), and finally a pumpin' pair of SoundXplosion 5.1 Headphones which get the big thumbs up.
Gainward. What products of theirs do you think of straight away? Their Golden Sample graphics cards, right? Maybe the £590 watercooled 6800 Ultra I reviewed earlier in the year? Past the graphics cards, though, are you aware that Gainward also sell a bunch of other PC components, under the Hollywood@Home umbrella? I'd hazard a guess that not many of you are.
I've looked at one of those components before, their Hollywood@Home 7.1 not doing too badly and in hindsight it probably deserves a slightly higher score, recent drivers enabling excellent stereo output for music using the high quality Wolfson DAC. Gainward aren't all about the graphics and they do have other tricks up their sleeves.

Our Vision
Our vision is to become the UK's Will Writing Company of choice, and we know that to achieve this we need to ensure that our strong internal values continue to be reflected in how we treat our customers.
Find out more...
About Us
As the UK's leading firm of specialist Will writers, we take our responsibilities to our clients and employees very seriously.
The Will Writing Company is compliant with the IPW Code of Practice.
Working with us
At The Will Writing Company, we are always looking for suitable candidates, across the UK, to become professional Estate Planning Consultants.
The Estate Planning GroupThe Estate Planning Group provides comprehensive solutions for clients who want to make it easier for their family and friends to carry out their wishes if they can no longer make their own decisions, or after their death. We provide free help and advice for those planning for the future, and for those dealing with the difficult task of managing someone else's estate. Our expertise and professional customer service will make each step as simple and stress free as possible. www.estateplanninggroup.co.uk
Later Life LawLater Life Law offers a comprehensive range of services tailored for individual clients' needs, offering expert advice on a number of estate planning areas. We concentrate on face-to-face meetings as we believe such important decisions should be professionally handled, not through a remote and faceless service. Despite the name, LLL is not only for those who may have reached later life, but for all who want to prepare for the best possible financial outcome when they get there. www.willwriting.co.uk
The Family Trust CorporationIn 2010 the Secretary of State granted EPG permission to set up the FTC to bring trust and estate administration in-house. The FTC can now act as trustee for Family Trusts set up by clients to hold and protect their assets while they are still alive, rather than by their Will after they die. This new service has resulted in improvements in the quality and speed of service offered to clients, and the Trust Corporation now has more than £340m of assets under management. The FTC can also act as a professional executor or attorney, when requested, together with, or instead of, friends and family, and we offer a free Bereavement Advice Service helpline. www.willwriting.co.uk

reality Zoning (Residential/Industrial/Commercial), Available FSI, Town planning scheme area,
village, location, land tenure (old/new), land feasibility, clear title paper, future growth area,
liquidity and less competition are very important factors for land investment. At the end of the

NAPLES, Italy (NNS) -- Service members and their families participated in the 37th annual Great American Smoke Out fun run at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples Nov. 15.
The event is a community outreach program designed to inform people about the health risks of tobacco, as well as provide them with ways to help stop tobacco use.
"This event will hopefully make people more aware of the risks of smoking and realize there are a lot more tools at their disposal to help quit," said Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Juan Alvarez, command fitness coordinator for U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH) Naples.
The event is always held the Thursday before Thanksgiving, and this is the first time the event incorporated a fun run.
"In the past, we have handed out pamphlets and other materials to help people quit smoking," said Health Promotions Manager Silvia Murray. "This year I decided to include a run and in the future hope to make it an official 5k race."
According to Hospital Corpsman Seaman Daniel Scott, USNH assistant command fitness leader, not only does this event encourage people to quit smoking, but it also promotes team-building skills.
"Throughout the run we never left a Sailor behind, and we kept each other motivated during the whole event," said Scott.
The Great American Smoke Out is not the only event at NSA Naples promoting tobacco cessation. In April there will be the Great American Spit Out for service members who chew or dip tobacco.
