If the artist James Guppy asks you to pose for him, don't expect an airbrushed, Photoshopped, botoxed version of yourself to appear on the canvas. James freely admits to 'loving wrinkles and all those bits that most people don't want to think about.' But for some women this has only made them even more keen to pose for the painter in his studio at Byron Bay in northern New South Wales. A couple of years ago, James Guppy asked several of his 'middle aged' friends to pose nude for him. The result was the series Fay which drew on the mad works of the Victorian fairy painter Richard Dadd and focused on the opinions of the women in his life who found that as they aged they were being, 'submerged by invisibility and irrelevance.

She played a prominent role in the historic 1967 referendum on Aboriginal rights and was a member of various national and international indigenous rights groups.

With islands the theme in Artworks this week, performance artist Linda Mancini talks about her investigation of Bikini Atoll. The Pacific region was the site for atomic testing by the United States just after the second world war. In a bizarre twist, the micro swimming suit, dubbed the bikini, was also designed at that time. And while the bikini's success is obvious, the fate of Bikini Atoll and its residents is not so well known. This is an imbalance Linda Mancini wants to set straight. Her performance uses historic footage, images and music.

Not to be confused with the classic 1975 Gene Hackman detective yarn of the same name,
Night Moves
is the latest from US indie filmmaker Kelly Reichardt. Just as her last effort, 2010's
Meek's Cutoff
, was nominally a western so this, superficially, is a thriller, focused on a trio of eco-terrorists who plot to blow up a hydroelectric dam in Oregon.
Making up this radical threesome: Josh (Jesse Eisenberg), an environmentalist disillusioned with working on a commune; spoilt little rich kid Dena (Dakota Fanning), who bankrolls their scheme, and older ex-Marine Harmon (Peter Sarsgaard), an explosives expert with a cloudy past.
The first half sees them prepare, with Reichardt and her usual co-writer Jonathan Raymond meticulously showing their characters assemble every element needed: a boat, fake IDs, even 500lbs of ammonium nitrate fertilizer. Arguably it recalls Jules Dassin's
(1955), the daddy of all heist movies, such is the close attention to detail and throbbing tension.
Needless to say, when Josh and co. achieve their objective, Reichardt doesn't go all Michael Bay on us. Almost anti-Hollywood in its approach,
Night Moves
isn't about spectacle; rather, the second half concentrates on the emotional fallout that these characters must contend with as they come to terms with the bloody consequences of their actions.
Unfortunately, it's here that the movie starts to stultify. Paranoia, guilt and regret percolate through these characters, but more often than not the experience of watching them is less than edifying. When flashes of violence erupt, they are less than credible – conventional, even.
With a cast of indie mainstays (Matt Malloy, James Le Gros) backing up good work from the main three,
Night Moves
is still an intriguing effort – not least because Reichardt has delivered one of her more accessible movies to date, without compromising. If only she'd sustained it until the (very) bitter end.
Frustrating. Measured and masterful to begin with, Night Moves is let down by a second half that never capitalises on the promise of the first.

My favorite book this summer!
Among the large pile of books I read through this summer, one stood out and has left a pleasant after-taste: REINVENTING ORGANIZATIONS by Frederic Laloux (Belgium). Frederic has attempted to do mission impossible and has actually come up with something of incredible value. He took the human development perspective and applied it to business. The idea is simple and has been considered for centuries: human beings develop over a life-time and societies develop over centuries into increasingly developed forms and belief systems. Why not organizations as well. Based on much work done by Integral Studies (Ken Wilber et al but also many other developmentalists such as Jean Gebser, Don Beck, Jean Piaget), Frederic developed first a historical overview of the development of organizations and then created a white space of the organization of the future. And here comes the magic – rather than just leaving things there, he went out and found a dozen companies of all sizes and from various industries and developed small case studies to understand how these companies are living already today partially or fully the principles of the organization of the future.
But don't take my word for it, here is an excellent New York Times review on the book.
We are running a Collaboratory event that I will facilitate together with other BSL colleagues featuring Frederic Laloux, Christian Felber and others on November 21-22, 2014 in Vienna in association with LiFT and the Zentrum für Integrale Führung led by Christiane Seuhs-Schoeller. If you are interested to join us, please let me know!

Incorrect methodology and further questions
Posted by mvdw on 17 Jan 2013 at 09:07 GMT
It is unfortunate to see the continued publication of likely inappropriate fluorescence quenching methodology in PLoS One. As reported by Grossweiner in 2000 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016...(00)00113-5), the double log equation used to determine the "number of binding sites" (equation 10) essentially always returns a value of 1, even if it is known there are 2 binding sites.
As discussed later by myself and Lorenzo Stella (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016...) equation 10 is in essence a linearized version of the Hill equation, with "n" the Hill coefficient. The latter is a measure for the cooperativity of binding, not of the number of binding sites.
In my paper with Lorenzo Stella we also discussed various other potential pitfalls in the methodology. For example, equation 10 also assumes a non-fluorescent complex, and the concentration of free ligand should be used in the equation. Based on the authors' contention that their ligand binds in domain IIIA, one should expect the complex to be fluorescent, since this is far away from the two Trp residues. Another issue with the Trp residues in BSA is that preferential quenching of one of the residues (Trp213) may cause the other (Trp134) to be more dominant. Since the latter is more exposed to the solvent, the observed red shift may not be indicative of a structural change, but simply the preferential quenching of the more buried Trp residue.
I also wonder to what extent the inner-filter effect may have contributed to the findings. The authors do not report they corrected for this, but since no UV spectra are shown, I cannot determine whether this may have played a role.
While none of this proves the data and their interpretation are wrong, the authors should clarify how these issues affect their data interpretation. I strongly recommend to repeat the analysis with the appropriate corrections and preferably also another method (e.g. ITC, CE, equilibrium dialysis, etc).

- Mondays are for beauty and self care. Here I schedule my hair and beauty appointments through out the year a long with home-spa treatments
- Tuesdays are for new recipes. I used to plan out my recipes but now I keep it open.
- Wednesdays are for relationships. Family and friends I don´t contact on daily/weekly basis.
- Thursdays are for deep-cleaning tasks. It takes me 6 months to complete the circle around the house - this week I´ll be going through the children´s bookshelves.
- Fridays are for craft projects - great for starting things but not really finishing them so that´s why I upgraded for example my knitting project to a weekly theme
- Saturdays are for treating myself and my family. If my budget allows it I buy clothing or cosmetics for me and my family. Or something for the home.
- Sundays are for reading or writing.....have to reconsider that one next year because Sundays are usually hectic family-days with little or no quiet-time.

Task of the day
Years ago I found myself thinking about all the things I wanted to do but never getting around to do them, I read food magazines and wanted to try all kinds of recipes but hardly found the occasion. I thought about friends I should be calling up or visiting but didn´t get around to it. I wandered around my house and thought I really have to clean out this closet but didn´t find the time and so forth... you see where I ´m going with this....wow it really sounds like I didn´t do anything. Then I started to write those ideas down in diary, over the years this has evolved and is still taking constant changes. Also it´s become a sort of a hobby and I´m planning the whole year in January - so everyday I look at my little task book and am excited about the day ahead, if I don´t manage to complete my tasks I move them forward to next week - I never complete all of them so every day I have 6 or 7 tasks to choose from....I also add on new tasks through-out the year and sometimes some tasks are written out uncompleted. The whole idea is to keep it fun - it should never be a burden. My primary tasks are planned ahead in January and are themed by the day, the other tasks are either rolled-over from last week or new ones.
1 comment:
you know that I love your ideas, its so easy to never have time and I found sometimes just seeing it written was all it took to get it done...maybe a task that takes 3 minutes but makes all the difference. Im super interested to get a copy of your deepcleaning circle list. (does that make me a housewife nerd?)

We purchased the Corning museum package, and the stay/visit was wonderful. The room was very large, comfortable, pool/hot tub were great, plenty to keep us busy on a cold winter's night. The hotel was well kept, staff was great, stay was quiet and comfortable. I loved that there was a TV in each bedroom, plus one with a DVD player in the common room. All the comforts of home!

What's he going to wear?
LISA DUTTON / BLADE Enlarge
It's prom time, and that means time to pick out a tux, guys.
Sort of.
"They guys don't have a choice," said Jeff Nowicki, manager of the President Tuxedo store in Westfield Shoppingtown Franklin Park. "[They get] whatever the girls tell the guys to get."
There are all kinds of choices these days when it comes to men's formal wear, but some of the most important ones aren't always made by the men. Just ask Ted Heintschel about whose opinion mattered most in choosing his tux.
"Hers," the young man said recently, nodding his noggin toward his prom date, Mary Reed.
"No it wasn't," the Notre Dame Academy senior protested quietly.
"She has a pink dress," explained Mr. Heintschel, a senior at St. John's Jesuit High School.
So he "chose" a pink vest and necktie to complement his white tuxedo, a hot item this year, especially after singers Usher and Kanye West showed up at the Grammy Awards in February decked out in white.
LISA DUTTON / BLADE Enlarge
A survey conducted last year by TeenProm magazine indicated that 85 percent of its (predominantly female) readers were very or somewhat involved in the selection of their date's formal wear. Seventy percent said their date coordinated their accessories, meaning if she wore a red dress, he wore a red bow tie.
Still, the level of this kind of cooperation depends on various factors, according to Jane Fort, the magazine's editor-in-chief.
"If you're going with someone that you know very well, then it's something that you guys can plan together. If you're going with your crush you never talked to before, I'm not sure you should be telling him to go buy a powder blue tux," she said.
Speaking of which, those powder blue classics like the one that appeared in the 1994 film Dumb and Dumber (along with a dapper orange tux) can be hard to come by these days.
"Kids come in looking for those orange and blue tuxedos," Mr. Nowicki said. "They're impossible to find."
Maybe that's for the best.
After all, most guys will shell out more than chump change on their prom look. The TeenProm survey said most women went to the prom with guys who spent an average of $194 on their outfit, including tux, shoes, and accessories.
Local rental stores quoted prices ranging from $50 to $135 for a tux, which sometimes included shoes and accessories. Consign-It Clothiers for Men & Women in Sylvania Township sells tuxedos that range in price from $37 to $130, not including shoes, shirt, or accessories.
Pastels and bright colors are big this year, with more than 80 colors available for vests. And "vest" is the key word, by the way. Cummerbunds - waistbands worn in place of a vest; remember them? - are way out.
"We try to push them, but ..." Mr. Nowicki said, trailing off with a smile.
Alesia Aromas, store manager of After Hours Formalwear in Franklin Park, said, "The brighter the vest the better. Turquoise is a big hit, and tangerine orange. They're just the hottest commodity right now. The girls' dresses tend to be more colorful than they have been in the last several years."
There are lots of hip, modern jacket styles for guys to choose from, too, but that's of lesser importance.
"As soon as their picture's taken, that coat's on a chair," Mr. Nowicki said.
For those still unsure about what to do, there's always the safe, traditional tux.
"I think that a classic two, three-button jacket is probably one of the best ways to go so you don't end up laughing at yourself in 10 years," said Mrs. Aromas. "But these boys have their own imagination and want to be unique in their own way."
Ms. Fort has other suggestions for them.
"I sort of like it if it's loud, just putting a T-shirt on instead of a [tuxedo] shirt," she said. "Something that's a little different, [like wearing] sneakers - to put your own personality on it."

I want to parse some XML-file in Qt, but that file is located at some server in web. When I used QML I was able to use XMLHttpRequest
class which takes address of file in internet (what I do need).
I have only one idea: use network request and download that xml directly. The idea is maybe there is a special interface in XML parser in qt which takes xml-path from internet?

a installed Visual Studio 2012 and migrate my Web Apps to .NET 4.5. I had many resx files in App_GlobalResources and always it works.
After migration resx files generates in designer "namespace MyApp.App_GlobalResources" instead of "namespace Resources".
I solved this with rename App_GlobalResources to "Resources" and change custom tool from "GlobalResourceProxyGenerator" to "PublicResXFileCodeGenerator".
But it doesn't work with expression e.g.: <%$ Resources: Users, LoginTitle %>
Thanks for advice

Ive heard if you use root explorer and tweak with the build.prop file. (You can tamper with Android version ex. 2.3.4, and type of phone and other things... could you brick your device if you change the android version to 4.0.3?
I noticed that when im using a rom and im about to power off theres more options such as: power off,Silent, airplane, RECOVERY, screenshot. I was wondering how do i get the RECOVERY part to show up when im on regular stock and rooted...
There are apps on the market that allow you to have other boot options but they won't be attached in the pop up menu you get by holding down on the power button. And yes i believe that all the roms that are out do have both 3g and 4g working properly.
Your phone will always have 3g an 4g capabilities. You can toggle between them under settings menu. Cdma only is 3g. Cdma/Lte is 4g. (As long as you live in an area where 4g is active, u can have 4g.) Sent from my eclipsed bionic

Thursday 8:00 PM on FOXIn Season
It was okay I enjoyed the case Booth trying to expand Breenans mind was fun and I'm not a B&B shipper so could care less about any un-made moves you guys are talking about.
I'm starting to get really uncomfortable about the lighthearted "LOL killing people" moments at the end of some of these eps ... I mean, it would make sense for the characters to come at things from a humorous perspective, but the scenes themselves are just treated too lightheartedly for my taste.
Hahaha "LOL killing people" -- exactly!! Didn't this show used to be a drama? I'll never forget that stupid episode where they stole the body from a funeral. And this week we get yet another annoying myth episode...come on, how unprofessional can these people get? It seems like the writers are just like, "whatever, ratings are good, our jobs are safe, let's just write some half-baked crap and throw in some funny lines here and there."
I also agree with the comment about how Nigel-Murray's AA stuff is a bunch of crap. We've had nothing to suggest he drinks a lot or parties, so this revelation was totally out of character (and dumb). I think I'll stop now...and obviously if I didn't like the show I wouldn't care this much, right? But I honestly have to say, I'm only giving it until the finale and then I'm done for good if it doesn't get any better.
What is it? What is off I wonder?
I guess I'm picking this vibe from him... something like: Bones... either you change your ways or you and me... not happening, babe...
He doesn't have that "i love you" look anymore, it's more like a condescending look now. Like "I'm soo much more cool than you..."
Is that it?
Idk, I just don't like him they way I used too. What a bummer...

The Rundown, Game's Jesus Piece
Despite his name, it's difficult to discern when Game is playing and when he isn't. He's one of rap's biggest provocateurs and most effective trolls, after all. So it was hard to know what to make of the controversial cover to his new album, Jesus Piece. The image, which blended a seeming gang member with a saint, suggests a deep exploration of the lines between good and evil, between religion and real life. Because Game's never been one for album-length statements, it was easy to think the only one here was "any publicity is good publicity." Which way did Game end up going? A concept or just a product? And more importantly: Does it sound good? Check out this track-by-track rundown of Game's Jesus Piece to find our answers to these questions and more. — Alex Gale

Tuesday, 07 Dec 2010 07:18 AM
SAN FRANCISCO — A line of questioning at an appeals court hearing over California's gay marriage ban suggested the three judges could issue a decision that would legalize same-sex marriage in that state but leave intact bans in other western states under the court's jurisdiction.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard nearly three hours of arguments Monday during a televised hearing that reached a nationwide audience anxious for a final decision on whether voter-approved Proposition 8 and similar same-sex marriage bans violate the U.S. Constitution.
The judges appeared troubled over whether they could recognize marriage as a civil right for all same-sex couples or only those in states that already grant gays the rights of marriage without the title.
Theodore Olson — who argued a portion of the case on behalf of the two same-sex couples who sued to overturn Proposition 8 and persuaded a lower court to strike it down — said denying gays the right to wed constitutes discrimination that cannot be justified under any circumstances.
"What this comes down to, it seems to me, is that California has built a fence around its gay and lesbian citizens and it has built a fence around the institution of marriage, which the Supreme Court says, not based on procreation or anything else, is the most important relationship in life," Olson said.
His oratory prompted Judge Stephen Reinhardt, the panel's most liberal member, to ask if Proposition 8 were a unique case because it amended the California Constitution to outlaw same-sex marriages five months after the state Supreme Court had legalized them.
"Your closing speech would require a holding that any state that did not permit gay marriage would be in violation of the Constitution," the judge said. "There is a possibility, I think in this case, that Proposition 8's withdrawal of the right of marriage from gays and lesbians is unconstitutional under the circumstances that they enjoyed that right, that they are given every aspect of marriage and the only thing taken away is the honorific of marriage."
Attorney Charles Cooper, who represents sponsors of the 2008 measure, argued that same-sex couples can be treated differently when it comes to marriage without running afoul of the Constitution because "sexual relationships between men and women naturally produce children."
"Society has no particular interest in a platonic relationship between a man and a woman no matter how close it might be, or emotional relationships between other people as well, but when the relationship becomes a sexual one, society has a considerable interest in that," Cooper said. "Its vital interests are actually threatened by the possibility of an unintentional and unwanted pregnancy."
Mondays' hearing also focused on whether Proposition 8's supporters have legal standing to challenge a lower court ruling that the ban was unconstitutional. The issue surfaced after outgoing California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Jerry Brown both refused to challenge the ruling that overturned the ban.
The panel appeared dubious about whether the ban's supporters were qualified to appeal but also seemed worried about allowing the governor and attorney general to effectively kill Proposition 8 by refusing to defend it.
Opponents of Proposition 8 contend it violates the due process and equal protection rights of gays and lesbians under the U.S. Constitution by denying them the right to marry the person of their choice and by singling them out for disparate treatment without a legitimate rationale.
C-SPAN's coverage of Monday's hearing gave the public outside the 9th Circuit headquarters in San Francisco its first — and possibly last — direct look at the debate raging in the landmark challenge that could impact gay marriage bans in other states.
Matt Walker, 60, of Los Angeles watched the hearing with about 20 other people at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center in West Hollywood and said the lives of many of his friends would be affected by the final decision. He found the hearing fascinating.
"Nobody from either side was getting a pass," he said.

Tropical Storm Isaac forces Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to cancel his Republican National Convention appearance.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal announced today that he would not attend the RNC while Tropical Storm Isaac threatens his state.
"Party conventions are interesting but there's no time for politics here in Louisiana," Jindal tweeted. He later added, "This storm, like every other storm is non-partisan. This is a time when we must all come together."
Jindal, a rising conservative star in the Republican Party, had planned to support Mitt Romney in Tampa on Wednesday.
The New York Times reports Jindal also missed the 2008 Republican convention in St. Paul because of Hurricane Gustav.
The National Hurricane Center says Isaac may become a Category One hurricane by the time it hits New Orleans sometime Tuesday or Wednesday. President Obama has sent Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials to areas where the storm is expected.
Isaac landed in Tampa, Florida on Monday causing minimal damage. RNC speeches have been postponed until Tuesday, the Daily News reports.
The damage to the RNC may be severe. Reuters wrote today:
"Romney could be robbed of some media attention - or worse, have images of convention festivities juxtaposed with searing split-screen television images of the storm's onslaught if Isaac dominates the news this week."

Simulations That Don't Add Up
Before I begin my blog-rant, let me wish you and yours a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving! While I hope you enjoy your holiday, and stuffing yourself with turkey, I wouldn't want you to look like a turkey at work. So, I thought I would share a bit of insight offered to me recently. As I mentioned in an earlier post, my friend Michael Ingham of Spectrum Integrity and I recently spoke at PCB West, and co-authored a paper to discuss some of the challenges of RF/MW PCB Design and Fabrication. Michael helped me to understand one of the reasons why simulations don't match the measured performance of a PCB after fabrication. It is a rather simple concept, but one often overlooked. Here is an excerpt from our paper:
Performance not matching simulations
Advanced designs with RF and ultra high-speed signals frequently undergo extensive simulation and analysis during the design phase. It is not uncommon for simulation data to not match measured data from a finished PCB. One item of disconnect often seen is that engineers set up their simulation models using a copper thickness based on which copper thickness is called out, such as ½ oz, 1 oz, etc. The factor that often gets overlooked is when plated-through-holes get plated, this plating also gets added to the PCB outer layers. Since plating is a wet process where the manufacturing panel is immersed in a chemical bath for plating, plated holes typically get 0.001 of copper, and the outer layers also get this copper added. So if simulations are based on a ½ oz copper thickness (which is approximately 0.067), the actual finished thickness can be 2X, or more, due to the hole plating process and this isn't being accounted for in the simulation model. This can throw off simulation data and impact designed etched features such as transmission lines, filters, coupled lines, etc.
A simplified graphical illustration of plating effects can be seen in Figures 3 and 4 below. Figure 3 shows a section of a 4 layer PCB with a drilled hole prior to hole plating. Figure 4 then shows the resulting plated hole and this extra plating being added to the outer layers. (the plating metal is shown as gold just for illustrative purposes) .
With sequential lamination cycles, the effects can be more dramatic such as blind vias being exposed to multiple plating cycles. Figures 5 through 8 provide an example of plating effects due to multiple plating steps. The different colors of the metal shown below, gives a visual representation of the cumulative plating effects.
So, when creating your simulations, be sure to factor in the additional copper thickness that will be added to any critical layers due to hole plating. If you are not sure, consult with your fabricator who will be able to advise you of the impact plating will have on your specific product.
By taking this into consideration, you can look like the genius that you are…and not like something that belongs on your Thanksgiving table.
Happy Thanksgiving!
