We know it was a surprise, in fact a big surprise, but John Carver did have some good news yesterday, and while both Rolando Aarons and Siem de Jong will not be available for the game at Anfield on Monday night, they are back in full training and could even feature in our next home game against Tottenham.
Siem de Jong – could be back soon
94% of our readers think we will lose at Anfield and suffer our fifth defeat in a row, so if there's ever a time that the team can shock us all – it's Monday night in another game being broadcast live around the world.
Rolando Aarons and Siem de Jong are both good players, although we have our doubts about whether Rolando can be fully fit soon, and the very last thing we want is for that hamstring of his to go yet again.
But if Rolando and Siem can start playing again say in the last five games of the season – they have class and could help us a lot.
The relegation teams will be looking at the plight of Newcastle right now, and think that if they can make 35 points they could finish above Newcastle this season, which is what Sunderland's new manager Dick Advocaat will be telling his players.
People say the chances of Newcastle going down are minuscule – and they are probably right – but that's only because the other clubs below will keep not winning (they need wins not draws), and therefore not get the 9 points (or whatever) necessary to catch Newcastle.
However, if there was ever a club who could manage to get relegated, given our good position at the end of last year, it's Newcastle United.
That's what still worries us.

Why do people keep saying our chances of going down are minuscule?
We've been dropping like a stone for months, we've been in relegation form for 18months the squad and coach are unfit for purpose.
It's 50/50 to me, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get another point.
Things look alarmingly similar to the year fatty got us relegated, we should be ok we should be ok, wtf happened.
Relying on other teams to be worse than us is begging for trouble.
hibbit/ beermonkey,
hang on are we saying mr bishop and our salad dodging duo have hatched a plan that would risk the careers of both a promising young player and another who only went out in the rain last week for the first time in months just to try and put down a stay away protest from fans who have had enough?
oh the very thought … i mean look at the fine track record of injury management …
i can see the carver interview after the liverpool game ….
"yes played off the park like not a shot on goal unitl 80 mins like but by then we were chasing the game at 3 nil down like but hey anyway the next home game is massive for us it means we can like secure our place in the premier league for next year like and with colo siem and rolando back we will see more of the unshackled free flowing tikka takka i have been telling you all i coach into these lads like i did when we were the entertainers n that " mike turned off …. "how was that keith? ok?"
I asked a valid question last night:
What more can Ashley "strip" from the club? I can't think of mucnh
Are we at our bare bones now? It's an interesting time. Investment is clearly needed. Is Ashley prepared to build again?
Wish I had the answers but I'm not prepared to believe the club's promise of jam tomorrow.
The Chrony is clearly becoming the club's mouthpiece again, didn't take them long.
Relegation is the only thing that will affect Ashley,we are watching substandard football so does it really matter what league we are playing in if you know we are going to get beat.Playing in the Championship means we should win some games and see some goals, so all you Happy Clappers who turn up at ST James Park and pay£35+ to watch us get beat,no entertainment value, no goals, what would you rather be watching?
So the Fans might be happy but Ashley won`t!!!!!!
hmm am i the only one who's spotted the "ashley has promised me investment in the team" comment ?
and our manager next season is (drum roles) carver.
so our starting 11 players are;
players to keep are;
rest can go but quality needs to come in.
all thats left is the fans dignity and i think he is proberbly doing an audit on that as we speak to see if thats a saleable asset.
the thing that gets me is the line that is used by a lot ed included that he is a brilliant businessman etc and that our books have never been so healthy etc etc.
the fact our profits are at 18 mil and turnover its highest ever .. but as we are comparing it too years before his tenure.
if we actually took away the massive sky money we,d be running at a loss with less "commercial revenue ' due to fact we cant sell ad space as he takes it for sd and zero revenue from kit sales etc.again as he cleans up there too.
so i wish ed would stop with this our books have never looked so good because of mike shi@@.
walking around sydney if i ever saw a fellow Geordie in his shirt i,d always say hello .. walking through darling harbour last weekend i saw a lad with his brand new home shirt wonga on the front and just thought "what were you thinking buying that you twat"
sad days boys
I'm sick of everyone mentioning Aarons as if he is going to return and make a difference to the team.
Sure the kid is class and has done really well when he has played, but he has barely played at all! He is just a kid and is not our saviour.
And De Jong has played what… 2 premier league games? Its going to take him 6 months to adapt… and thats if he doesn't turn out like his brother.
The players we are relying on are the players that lost so effortlessly to the Mackems.

Title: Forty years of movie hacking: considering the potential implications of the popular media representation of computer hackers from 1968 to 2008
Authors: Damian Gordon
Addresses: School of Computing, Dublin Institute of Technology, Kevin Street, Dublin 8, Ireland
Abstract: Increasingly movies are being produced which feature plots that incorporate elements of computer security and hacking, and cumulatively these movies are creating a public perception as to the nature of computer security. This research examines movies that feature hackers (and hacking) to identify if any common themes emerge from these movies in their representation of these issues. To achieve this, first a corpus of hacking movies is created, and then using a qualitative data analysis technique, guidelines are developed which distinguish those movies that actually have the potential to create a perception with the general public. The resultant dataset is analysed and the salient details are compared to the reality of hacking. This research has implications in a range of fields, including in the education of computer students, organisation computer security and in the behaviour of the general public when using computers.
Keywords: computer security breaches; crackers; Jungian archetypes; filmic representations; movie hacking; popular media representation; computer hackers; film hacking; hacking movies; data analysis.

Eternity can now be re-defined as the weekly onslaught of anti-Trump non-factual rants in Camera letters. Such endless hysteria is only explainable by either intense in-breeding of first cousins, or alien invasion. Socrates: "Hate overpowers rational thinking." With false news since inauguration it was "the best of times" for libs but recently the "worst of times:" seven-month investigation of Trump-Russia: nothing burger. Four-month Trump-Comey investigation: nothing burger (Comey stated three times: President not under FBI investigation). Hillary's 1001 reasons for losing — a nothing burger, At his rate, Boulder libs will starve. Conversely, recently revealed "Obama spy scandal" on Congress and many citizens — a whopper burger, reported no more than a local garden tour. Comey's leak of his notes (government-owned property) to a friend — prosecutable crime under 18 U.S. Code 1905 . Former AG Mukasey: "An extraordinarily devious thing to do." Comey testimony: "If I were a stronger individual..." (what? he's head of the FBI!); Dershowitz: Comey - "at will" employee, fire-able for any or no reason at all. To paraphrase Churchill: Never in history have so many obsessed so much over so little. But Boulder deniers (world's smartest city) exempt themselves from having to indulge in disciplined introspection. Talk is cheap but libs have made it worthless: Obama gives $400,000 speech on income inequality; "Equal Pay" Elizabeth Warren's female employees earn 71 percent of her males.

matt b, 22 Dec 2009very good Nokia! being a nokia man and also having owned n96, n95 8gb and most n series nokias... morewho cares if you had the N series phones? too boastful, eh?
to the othets, is N97 a good phone? i mean, as a whole?
Annii, 22 Dec 2009Planning to buy N 97. Can any tell be how serious is the hanging problem? How long battery las... moreevery smartphone might freeze (or Hang) due to over multi-tasking because it depletes the RAM of the phone,
the battery life depends on how you use it:
in my case: 1 and a half days of non-stop wi-fi (downloads, streaming etc. so far), 2 days office use (normal calls of about 2 hours in total in GSM or HSPDA/UMTS, sending messages and e-mail etc), 3-4 days on occasionally using the phone.
overall, it has a good battery life, minimum charging once every 2 days, the good one is, you can charge the phone on a pc.
Larry, 22 Dec 2009so are you saying that dropping the phone causes the problem with the reboot? for me, this may... morenope dropping is not the only reason, that is, in my case, so you've also tried hard reset? the 3 key + power key and it did not solve any? hmmm...interesting, i agree with you waiting for the next update and lets see what happened, so far you are the first one to report of difficulties on the phone after dropping it (coz what i read on some forums, only scratches are what their phone gets after an impact with a hard surface)
Larry, 22 Dec 2009do you find that it is a particular app that causes your phone to reboot? or does it just do s... moreIt is not a particular app, an app I try does cause the phone to reboot. Even the OVI or OVI maps does the same thing. I will do my research on google. Thanks Larry.

Randomly it wou... moredo you find that it is a particular app that causes your phone to reboot? or does it just do so randomly with various different apps? the web browser is quite unstable and does crash occasionally, but i've never had a problem with it rebooting my phone. i would probably do a hard reset if i were you. because if you take a phone to a repair shop that's what they'll probably do. there are a few sites showing you how to hard reset; just google it. be sure to back up all your files on your memory card or pc because hard resetting restores the phone's factory settings. you will lose all content on c drive, but your e drive should be ok.
gabby131, 22 Dec 2009hmmm...this problem was common for some of my fellows who uses other s60 phones, According to ... moreso are you saying that dropping the phone causes the problem with the reboot? for me, this may be the case because before i dropped mine (about a month ago) it rebooted fine most of the time (though i had to hard reset once). but for the past 2 weeks, every time i restart the phone it gets stuck on the nokia screen of death. i have read on some online forums that if you get your phone flashed, it does fix the problem but only temporarily. i'm still hoping that it will be fixed with upcoming firmware updates. fingers crossed. it's annoying because this reboot problem is really the only problem i have with my phone.
Hi all, I need help on one thing.
Lately my N97 has been doing a weird thing. Randomly it would reboot itself when I exit an application or the web browser. It just does the same thing as on a PC when u hit Refresh on a slow computer (it just reloads the wallpaper and widgets and shows the home screen). This thing just started 2 weeks back even though it has the v20 firmware.
I need to know if I need to hard reset it or not? And how do u hard reset the N97?
Anyone please help ASAP.
Thanks in advance.
Planning to buy N 97. Can any tell be how serious is the hanging problem? How long battery last after charging? Some please give feed back
very good Nokia! being a nokia man and also having owned n96, n95 8gb and most n series nokias. I am well happy with my n97, i have had it 4 2 months now its crashed once. camera doesnt seem quite as good as n96 [though its the same] facebook app is great as well. V happy me!!

is there any body who can help me about the difrences between the nokia n97 manufactured in chia & nokia n97 made in finland ?
this mobile is very bad and ugly . most of the modern nokia phones is ugly i a can't understand why nokia use stupid designers . nokia must fair them . and mabey close all nokia factories
Lately Nokia is making bad software. E65 was my most bugged mobile, now N97 is a load of c***. Touch screen works only after you realy push hard, menu system is not logical, and customisation of this menu is horrible.
Better buy a BLACKBERRY or APPLE iPhone. You won't like this one.
I changed the product code from Philippines V2 Black to Indonesian V2 Black and the 'dot' and 'comma' were interchanged. Is this normal to Indonesian Nokia N97? I changed the product code to acquire the Chinese and Japanese fonts. So everytime I write a text, I HAVE to press the 'shift' key just to input the 'dot'
ive been unhappy with this phone since i bought it! its beautiful but performance sucks. it hangs even after i updated the software (after being advised by others). the screen is a piece of crap. i dropped it ONE time and the screen is gone. the phone still works but thats pointless because the screen is dead. pathetic phone. i wouldnt encourage anyone to get it.

Much thanks 3dZver! I had tried (very unsucessfully) to update the .net myself a few times, but my meager maxscript skills just broke it more than it already was... :)
This really should be an 'official' update, I'd like to see this posted here on scriptspot as a v1.6 or something. I don't see why the autor would take exception to that.
Thanks again for the Christmas present!

Yes. I too have found out this bug, but I have recompile only the interface and have a little corrected algorithm of interaction with it. The source code by means of which operations of transformation with all cloned objects calculate has remained former.
Therefore this bug most likely existed and earlier. But I have corrected this now. A new update of a script it is possible download in the same place (see my message above).

I found a little somethin' somethin' a few months back and have been saving her for just the right project, and you know what? A little thing called Sherwin-Williams National Painting Week happened!
This year my color is purple. I knew my little gem would be so lovely transformed with hues of violet.
It was funny after finding out my color this year how much inspiration popped up everywhere! From Cara's fabulous eye make-up to Mandi's macrame planters! The color was hot.
To get you even more excited for this next week to begin I will tempt you with a little peek at what you will see on my blog soon.
Ugh, I want to show you more. But you will just have to wait and see what I and the 14 other bloggers reveal in this years upcoming paint week. If you want to see more visit SWpaintingweek.com. And if you want the tutorial on my awesome planter click here back to the old post. See you all next week!

News About theWing Luke Museum Auction
Wow, life just keeps getting more and more exciting! On Sat. Fred and I went to the auction at the Harbor Convention Center in Seattle and received VIP treatment from the museum.
My Peace Prevails Kimono #13 received much attention. one of the highlights of the night was meeting our next Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and his beautiful wife Mona. What a treat! Mona reminds me of Michelle Obama and is a very gracious person. When they get to Washington DC and know what kind of space they have to work with, Mona said she would call and commission me for a Peace Prevails Kimono. I am not holding my breath, but am hopeful that one of my peace artworks will be in our countries capital.
Then on top of all that, the kimono sold well over the retail price. The new owners John Sy-Eng and Sandy Chock-Eng are part of the Wing Luke family. I got to have my picture taken with them. So when they finish painting their living room they are giving a party for us to celebrate the hanging of the Peace kimono in their home. You can see a catalog of the art at the auction here http://www.wingluke.org/home.htm
I feel so very very honored and blessed. My dreams about getting the Peace Prevails Project out into the world is coimg true.
Artists....never give up!
Here is to a bright sunny day in the NW! Catherine
PS I was worried about my cast from my broken wrist at the auction. It turned out to be a way to start a conversation when people asked me how I broke my wrist.

Adds safety, appeal and value to your home
Finishing your basement is the most efficient way to add useable space to your home. If you have or are planning sleeping rooms downstairs, you need to make sure that there are two exits for emergencies. If your home does not have a walk-out basement, this usually requires an escape, or egress window.
It is important to know your local residential building codes for egress. St. Louis County building permit requirements state that all basement bedrooms must have one window for emergency escape with a sill no more than 44 inches above the floor and a minimum clear opening area of 5.0 square feet. The emergency escape window must be operable from the inside without need for special knowledge, tools, or extra force beyond that required for a normal window.
But don't just think of the basement egress window as a requirement. It can also add natural light and ventilation and with an expanded window well it can be an attractive feature, with flowers and plants on the terraced steps.

As far as the MVP Summit goes, today is kind of a gentle kick-off. The official technical sessions don't start until tomorrow, but we were offered a pretty full slate of sessions on a variety of softer topics today. This included sessions from LinkedIn on how to get more from your profile, and some terrific consciousness-raising presentations on improving the odds and prospects for women in the IT profession, and for making presentations accessible to disadvantaged attendees who might not be able to see your slide deck, or hear your presentation, or mobility challenged enough to be unable to raise their hands to respond to presenter requests to do that very thing.
As somebody who's been a "talking head" since the late 1980s I frankly didn't expect to get much from today's topics and coverage. Boy, was I wrong, wrong, wrong -- and delighted to be entertained, informed, and even beguiled by the knowledge and skills of the presenters. I was forcibly reminded in the best and most useful of ways that one always has more to learn, and that learning can be a real source of joy and delight. Without a doubt, my favorite presentation came from South African presenter Tracy van der Schyff, whose adventures in blogging 365 days straight on Office 365 not only brought her plenty of insight and wisdom, but also produced a fabulous and interesting body of work.
Her blog post #Microsoft365 Day 124: Capture and Share Contacts with Office 365 Tracy van der Schyff already made my trip to Seattle worthwhile, all by itself. I happened to stand next to her in the registration line this morning, and tried to give her a business card. She replied to my offer "I don't do that any more," and then proceeded to blow my mind by flashing a QR code for me to photograph with my iPhone. It opened automatically in Safari, and called up a web form wherein I gave her my contact info, to which her Office app responded by sending me her vCard. She even explains how to auto-generate a Calendar entry to issue a reminder in 2 days to contact new additions to the address book to keep the relationship going, AND sends a Teams message to her colleagues introducing her new contacts. Absolutely fabulous, is all I can say.
I heard lots of great and useful information today. Stuff, in fact, that I'll be chewing over and digesting for some time to come. But here are my three favorite messages from today's sessions, mostly from fellow MVPs:
1. Follow your interests and your passions, and see where they lead you. If you keep on that track, and put in the time and effort to follow it for some distance, that investment will invariably pay off. I couldn't agree more.
2. International traveler, bon vivant, and jetski commuter Troy Hunter said "Build stuff and put it out there!" This underscores the point I heard many presenters make today, that by giving to the community you also end up helping yourself, especially because of the learning and the human interactions that come from such efforts.
3. Microsoft development maven Scott Hanselman said: "Your social media profile is your opportunity to demonstrate your character." He earned a hearty round of applause when he advocated that one's social media persona should always be kind and positive, irrespective of the tendency for world leaders to act like jerks on Twitter. Amen!
As I chew over and digest more of what I learned today, I'll be blogging on my personal website Home - Ed Tittel. Drop by any time after next weekend, and you'll probably see some fruits from that effort starting to ripen.

text: Hi guys, A friend of mine has asked me is it possible to build an ERD for both Win 8.1 and Win 10. I've been looking for the past few days on the web and it looks like i need a paid subscription to TechNet or MSDN which i don't have nor could i afford. From what i could ascertain, DaRT comes packaged with MDOP (Correct me if i'm wrong). If anyone could help with a copy of DaRT for Win 8.1 / Win 10 (Both architectures) it would be very much appreciated. I should mention the DaRT for Win 10 is more important than the 8.1 version for him. Thanks in advance for any help and apologies if this request in any way breaks forum rules. Kind Regards


text: By Chuck McGregor • April 12, 2018 This is a practical guide to doing audio calculations, particularly dB (decibel) calculations, covering most common situations. You see dB numbers all the time in audio, and probably understand that 3 dB is considered a just noticeable change in volume level. You may also be aware that dB calculations involve "logs" (logarithms). But perhaps you're not quite so clear on how to figure out what 24 dB from your mixing console means to your amplifier rated for 1.4V input sensitivity. Thanks to modern technology, you can do dB calculations without knowing a thing about the mathematics of logs, anti-logs, ratios, exponents, or even much about math. This article is necessarily long in order to cover many situations where you might need to use dB. But, if you understand the calculations, you will find that most of them repeat the same things in different ways. If you begin to see this, it means you are beginning to understand how to calculate dB. Introduction First, if you don't have one, you need to buy yourself a cheap scientific calculator. It MUST have several specific functions on it. One is a "Log" function. There are two common Log functions. One is "Log base e" or "natural Log" which you DON'T want. The other is "Log base 10" which is what you need. You can check if it is "Log base 10" by simply entering 10 and hitting the "Log" key. The display should read 1. If it doesn't, don't buy it. Another necessity is a 10x function (also called 10 to the x function or the anti-log function). You can check if this is the proper function by entering 2 then hitting the 10x key. The display should read 100. You also need a +/- (change sign) key. It must also have plus, minus, divide, multiply, and equal (=) keys. You can basically ignore the other functions on it to do dB calculations. Once armed with this tool, you can now learn to do dB calculations. Actually, you don't really have to learn much except to push the right buttons on the calculator. In each example, you will be told exactly what calculator key to hit and what your answer should be. Once you get the right answers as shown, you can substitute your own numbers in the various examples to figure out your own things. Remember, a calculator is a DUMB device. It will only do what you tell it to do. So you MUST use your brain a bit to see if your answers make sense. This means if you come up with a number like 23841 dB or 20,000,000 watts, it is wrong. Nothing in audio has 23841 dB of anything and 20,000,000 watts is out of the question, unless you are providing sound reinforcement for Space Shuttle launches. All the answers given in this article only show the first two digits (numbers) to the right of the decimal point. Because fractions of a dB or a watt rarely have little practical significance in audio, these two digits are shown ONLY so you know you got the right answer. The answer on your calculator may be 15.84893192 but the answer given here is 15.84. As you will see in one of the examples, chopping off digits like this can lead to slight, but not significant, errors. Note again the last digit to the right in the examples is NOT a rounded off value in the examples, but chopped off. If it was rounded off, the answer would be shown as 15.85. Most calculators can be set to display only 2 digits after the decimal point. It rounds off numbers to do this so that 15.84893192 becomes 15.85. So, if you set the calculator to do this for figuring out the examples, your last digit to the right may be 1 larger or smaller than in the examples. For actual audio work, you should only be concerned with dB numbers to the left of the decimal point. Thus an answer of either 15.84 or 15.85 dB should be rounded off to 16 dB when stating the result. For each example calculation, the actual formula being used for the calculation is also shown in red. The actual calculation procedure is in blue. The most common "Log" calculations you need are: dB to voltage, voltage to dB, voltage gain to dB, dB to voltage gain, calculating SPL for distances, and converting amplifier watts to SPL changes or SPL changes to amplifier watts. Therefore, these are the only examples given. With a little brainwork, you may be able to apply the example calculations to figure out other things. Definitions Some definitions to know: Any dB value is a RATIO, meaning it represents one number divided by another. If you simply state something in dB then you are only stating the ratio in between one thing and another. So you might say the difference in two voltages is 6 dB but that only means one voltage is twice the other (6 dB = 2 times voltage). It doesn't tell you anything about the actual voltages. If you want to state the actual value of something in dB, most common audio calculations have a 0 dB reference value that is indicated by suffix (a letter or letters following dB). The 0 dB reference value is always used as one of the numbers for the ratio. You should always use a suffix when stating the dB of something as an actual value so that anyone else will know what 0 dB reference is. So when you say your mixer is putting out + 6 dB, you really need to say + 6 dBu or whatever the 0 dB reference is. Thus +6 dB means you have twice as much voltage while 0 dBu means you have 0.775 volts or 1.55 volts. For electronic calculations (voltage and wattage) the 0 dB references are: 0 dBu (or dBv) = 0.775 volts 0 dBV = 1 volt 0 dBm = 1 milliwatt (0.001 watts). The standard reference value for 0dBm is 0.775 volts into a load of 600 Ohms. For most audio calculations, simply assume you are NOT using a 600 Ohm load and thus dBm can equal dBu. For example, a +24 dBm output specification on a mixing console can be used as +24 dBu to calculate voltages. The reason for this is that modern audio equipment will put out the same voltage whether there is a "load" on it or not. Thus knowing the power in a line level audio circuit is of little value and simply complicates what you need to know. Another example: 6 dBu is the ratio of some voltage divided by 0.775 volts. That voltage is 1.55 volts. For SPL (Sound Pressure Level) calculations the 0 dB reference is: 0 dB SPL = 0.00002 pascals (a pascal is a measure of pressure, in this case air pressure, just like a meter is for distance). Another example: 100 dB SPL is the ratio of some sound pressure to 0.00002 Pascals. That pressure is 2 Pascals These are the symbols used in the formulas: "x" means multiply "/" means divide "^" This symbol indicates what follows is an exponent of the number preceding it. An exponent means "raised to the power of", as in 10^2 is 10 raised to the power of 2 or more simply stated as "10 squared". With dB calculations you get "funny" powers like 10^(34/20). Spelled out this is "ten to the power of thirty four divided by twenty". Don't be afraid of this. The instructions and your trusty calculator will get you through it without having to fully understand it. "( )" in the formulas means that everything inside the parenthesis is calculated first to come up with a single number. In the first example below, (24/20) is calculated first to come up with 1.2. Then 10 is raised to the power of 1.2. Read the rest of this post 1 2 3 4 5 6 Comments Have something to say about this PSW content? Leave a comment!

It's my wife's birthday and I would like to take her to a nice romantic dinner in Malibu somewhere.
On the fringes of my memory I seem to remember a website of a Malibu restaurant that's on the water..it had a crescent moon logo and served Kobe burgers but for the life of me I can't seem to Google it up.
Any other wonderful experiences you may have had dining in Malibu would be appreciated.
Oh yeah, please try to include address or approximate location if possible.
Thank you!

Susan Lent Interviewed in The Recorder on New Federal Guidelines for Autonomous Vehicles
In its article "Biggest Issue for Autonomous Car Lawyers? Managing Liability, Akin Partner Says," The Recorder has featured Akin Gump litigation partner Susan Lent, head of the firm's infrastructure and transportation practice, in a Q&A column discussing the federal government's new guidance for driverless car manufacturers. As the article reports, the voluntary guidelines follow legislation passed by the House of Representatives that gives a more assertive role to the federal government in allowing up to 100,000 autonomous vehicles (AVs) to test-drive across the country.
Among the topics Lent covered:
- Her biggest takeaway from the federal autonomous vehicles guidance: "The new guidance largely tracks the 2016 guidance but makes it clearer that the framework is voluntary and that [Department of Transportation] will rely on its defect, recall and enforcement authority as opposed to ex ante rules to promote safety."
- The biggest issue for her as a lawyer working in this space: "I would say the biggest issue is managing liability. That is why federal pre-emption is so important. Since this is a new industry we are thinking through where there could be potential liability and how to protect our clients through compliance program, insurance and indemnification provisions in contracts."
- The impact of federal developments on autonomous vehicle policy and legislation for a state like California that is developing its own rules: "States like California, Nevada, Florida, Texas, Michigan and others have all adopted AV regulations. The [National Highway Traffic Safety Administration] Guidance and House bill would clarify where states should regulate and in particular focus states on licensing and road operations rather than vehicle standards."
- The legal issues raised by autonomous vehicle development and regulation that aren't getting enough attention: "There are a series of questions regarding assignment of liability in a variety of contexts that are not receiving much attention yet but will be critical to promoting deployment and adoption of AVs on our roads."

|Cravat Pin
The British Museum
Since we've been looking at the Hull-Grundy gift to The British Museum, let's continue with this attractive gold cravat pin. The pin features a medallion struck in gold with a profile of the goddess Diana sporting her usual attributes of a crescent, and a bow and arrow. Originally, her collar was set with three diamonds, but one is now missing. The medallist's and sculptor's monograms, a warranty mark and maker's mark are stamped into the medallion.
The portrait medallion was designed by Louis Armand Rault, circa 1900.


text: Two areas of research outside of pure sciences offer in Chomsky's sense particularly valuable analyses, but for the most part these areas touch on the mysteries of human existence. The first is history: 'Historical studies are another matter. One can learn a lot from history, as from life, as long as it avoids the pretentious tomfoolery required by intellectuals for career and power reasons.' Examples of pretentious tomfoolery are important for this discussion, since they'll help guide an analysis of Bakhtin's pertinence, at least from Chomsky's perspective. One term that Chomsky mentions is Foucault's 'épistemé': 'When Foucault says I'm working within a particular 'épistemé' because of time-culture limitations, he could be right, and I would even agree to listen to him if he or anyone could offer as much of a hint of a rational, credible argument. He couldn't, and no one else can either, so I'm afraid I have no choice but to dismiss this as more of the games that intellectuals play when they have nothing in their heads but must try to seem important to themselves and to one another.' Pierre Bourdieu, another theoretician whose work has been applied to literature, doesn't suffer any less. 'Doubtless there is a power structure in every speech situation; again, that is a truism that only an intellectual could find surprising, and seek to dress up in appropriate polysyllables.' And Lyotard? 'As for Lyotard and the post-modern age, I await some indication that there is something here beyond trivialities or self-serving nonsense. I can perceive certain grains of truth hidden in the vast structure of verbiage, but those are simple indeed.'

Congratulations, Mark!
One of the perks of attending the recent IBM WebSphere Smarter Commerce event was the chance to earn various IBM technical and sales certifications. Briteskies' Certified WebSphere Commerce Architect, Mark Kucalaba, used the opportunity to earn the title IBM Certified System Administrator-WebSphere Commerce V7.0.
Having already earned the previous version of this certificate, Mark had plenty of prior knowledge in the subject area when it came to preparing for this certification. He also utilized the study materials that IBM provides. Mark focused on the Web Resources to refresh his knowledge as well as learn about new features. As Mark said, "All of that review was helpful, but not as helpful as the real world experience that I get at my client where I use most of the tools and functionality that I was tested on." He also took the assessment test and a third party practice test in preparation for the real thing.

Let's talk PROTEIN
Protein should be a staple in every diet. But how much protein depends on activity level.
If someone is sedentary, or not trying to change their body composition, they should look to have a daily protein intake of 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight. So, if a 140 pound person was satisfied with their body composition they'd have to intake 50.4 grams of protein. (body weight x .36) That would be comparable to
If someone is active, and is trying to lose body weight they need to lower their overall calories while increasing their intake of protein calories. This increase is needed to preserve muscle mass (burns calories). This type of person should shoot for 0.45 grams to 0.68 grams per pound of body weight. So, if a 140 pound person was trying to lose body weight they'd have to intake 63 – 95.2 grams of protein. (body weight x .45 or body weight x .68)
If someone is active, and has a low and is trying to gain muscle they also need to increase their protein intake. This varies a little bit more. People often are told the rule of 1. That being 1 gram of protein per pound. But, that might seem excessive for the little folks like myself. So, the research varies from 0.6 to 1.1 grams of protein. So, if a 140 pound person was trying to gain muscle they'd have to intake 84 – 154 grams of protein. (body weight x .6 or body weight x 1.1)
A handy tool I found when searching the web was this protein calculator. It includes age, weight, gender, height, activity level, and fitness goal. So check it out and get active and have fun!

However, there are instances where an item cannot be restocked and I need a "out of stock" with "refunded" option to let the customer know that the item will not come in again and the purchase price will be refunded. Thank you, love the shopping cart!

It's a storyboard I stumbled upon recently. A rough idea for a sequence in a Disney animated motion picture. It's a little exploration, actually. An idea I wanted to develop simply to see where it might lead. These were things I learned from my Disney mentor, Vance Gerry. Sometimes the most intriguing ideas come to you when you're simply playing around. And, it's a good reason not to be overly tied to the script. The Old Maestro referred to this kind of exploration as, "business."
These sketches were for a motion picture we didn't make. A film that was in development at Disney Feature Animation back in the nineties. It was a rootin' tootin' western full of cattle stampedes, dead cowboys, wacky prairie dogs and a grouchy rabbit named, Texas Jack. You've probably never heard of it - and it never got made. I gotta confess this was an animated movie that should have been produced. As far as talent goes it boasted some of the finest artists and designers ever to inhabit the animation building. How can you go wrong with a cartoon western that features gun slingers and funny animals? In case you're worried about weapons and the PC considerations of animated film making you can rest at ease. Our pistol packing desperadoes were already dead and that meant there were no real bullets to dodge. In a way, it reminded me of my kid days when I watched cowboy movies. The old timers used to call these movies, "Shoot Em' Ups." They provided lots of noise - but the cowboys seldom got shot. Oddly enough, back in the eighties the Disney Company even produced a cowboy television show that featured gunplay that was violence free. No actor was ever shot, and it was good, clean Disney fun. Of course, that's the way it goes when you're in development. Good ideas come and go and often time your movie never gets produced. Anyone who's worked in this business more that a few years is already aware of that reality. The Walt Disney studio did eventually release another animated cartoon western. Sadly, it was at a time when traditional hand drawn animation was on the wane and digital cartoons seemed all the rage. The wonderful art form developed and nurtured at the Walt Disney Studio soon found itself on life support.
I still have fond memories of the amazing ideas launched by our creative team. This includes the cool locations such as, "Devil's Elbow," the town of Ogalala and the creepy, spooky prairie Ghost Town. These were places I eagerly wanted to visit in this delightful Disney motion picture. Sadly, the writers and directors never could sell this marvelous animated movie idea to the Disney bosses. You can blame me if I sound cynical, but I think the project was simply too much like a Disney cartoon.

So tonight there is a sporting event in town. The 16th annual South Carolina Senators vs. South Carolina Representatives softball game. With free food! And maybe free booze! We are going to go, of course, and I will report back with what is sure to be an extensive injured reserve list. I don't know much about softball, and I don't know much about government, but I can guarantee that when the two are combined, a very good time is in store.
Meanwhile, please tell me about your favorite book(s) from childhood, or your siblings' or children's or nieces' or nephews' favorite books, or books your students loved, or books you like even now, and possibly tell me why you like(d) said book(s). Children's literature is my favorite, as I have said before, and I'm reading a great book now called The Mysterious Benedict Society, and I'm afraid it will soon be over and I'll be left with nothing. You can certainly tell me if your favorite books were something like The Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew or or something horrifically sad like Charlotte's Web or Old Yeller or Little Women, but I make no promises because I just am not one for the scary or the sad. Also if you like(d) Little House on the Prairie, talk to me about that, because I've never read those. Some part of me just feels like prairie life = boring. For the record, my favorite book as a kid varied depending on which Babysitters Club or Sweet Valley book I was reading.

Just now catching up and wanted to throw in my 2 cents:
-- The Phantom Tollbooth
-- Highly recommend the Little House books
-- The Saddle Club books were essentially the BSC but about girls who liked horses instead of girls who babysat
-- The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series (okay, I read them in college, not when I was a kid, but they're kids' books)

(Milan, May 30 – June 3 2012)
He came to what was his own,
but his own people did not accept him.
But to those who did accept
him he gave power to become children of God,
to those who believe in his name (Jn 1:11-12).
The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the
favor of God was upon him.
Each year his parents went to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover,
and when he was twelve years old, they went up according to
festival custom […]
He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient
to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart.
And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and favor before God
and man (Lk 2:40-42; 51-52).
D. Biblical Catechesis
1. He came to what was his own. Why does the family have to choose a lifestyle? What are the new lifestyles for today's family regarding work and celebration? Two biblical passages describe the way the Lord Jesus came among us (Jn 1:11-12) and lived in a human family (Lk 2:40-41; 51-52).
The first text presents Jesus to us living among his own people. "He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him. But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name".
The everlasting Word leaves from the Father's heart, comes to live among his people and becomes part of a human family. The people of God, who should have been the womb that welcomed the Word, proved to be sterile. His own do not accept him; on the contrary, they killed him. The mystery of Jesus of Nazareth's rejection is found in the heart of his coming in our midst. However, to those who do accept him, "he gave power to become children of God".
Under the cross, John sees the fulfillment of what he proclaims at the beginning of his gospel. "When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved" (Jn 19:26), he gave his mother to her new son and entrusted his mother to the beloved disciple. The evangelist comments: "And from that hour the disciple took her into his home" (19:27). This is the "style" that Jesus asks from us to come in our midst: a style that can welcome and generate. Jesus asks the family to be the place that welcomes and generates life fully. It not only gives physical life but it also opens up to the promise and joy. The family becomes capable of "welcoming" if it preserves its intimacy, the story of each one, family traditions, trust in life and hope in the Lord.
The family becomes capable of "generating" when it circulates the gifts it has received, when it takes care of the rhythm of daily life between work and celebration, affection and charity, commitment and gratuity. This is the gift that is received in the family: to take care of and transmit life in the couple and to the children. The family has its rhythm, like a heartbeat. It is a place of rest and enthusiasm, arrival and departure, peace and dreaming, tenderness and responsibility.
The couple has to build the atmosphere before children arrive. Work cannot turn the house into a desert; instead, the family should learn to live and combine the moments for work and those for celebration. Many times the family will have to measure itself against outside pressures that do not allow it to choose the ideal, but the Lord's disciples are those who live in concrete situations but know how to give flavor to all things, even what they cannot be changed, because they are the salt of the earth. In particular, Sunday should be a time for trust, freedom, encounter, rest and sharing. Sunday is the moment for the encounter between the man and the woman.
Above all, it is the Lord's Day, the day of prayer, the Word of God, the Eucharist, openness to the community and charity. In this way, the weekdays will also get light from Sunday and the celebration. There will be less dispersion and more encounter, less haste and more dialogue, fewer things and more presence. A first step in this direction is to see how we live in our home, what we do in our home. We need to see what our home is like and consider our style of living, the choices we have made in it, the dreams we have nurtured, the sufferings we experience, the struggles we endure and the hopes we cherish.
2. The secret of Nazareth. In this village of Galilee Jesus lived the longest period in his life. Jesus became a man. As the years passed, he went through many human experiences in order to save them all: he became one of us, he became part of a human family, and he lived thirty years in absolute silence, which become a revelation of the mystery of the humility of Nazareth.
The refrain that opens the passage sketches out the "secret of Nazareth". It is the place to grow in wisdom and God's grace, in the context of a family that welcomes and generates. "The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him". The mystery of Nazareth tells us in a simple way that Jesus, the Word that came down from heaven, the Son of the Father, became a child, took on our humanity, grew up as a child in a family, lived the experience of religiosity, the law, and daily life cadenced by work days, rest on the sabbath and the calendar of the feasts. The "son of the Most High" who took on the cloak of fragility and poverty, was accompanied by the shepherds and people who expressed the hope of Israel.
However, the Mystery of Nazareth is much more: it is the secret that fascinated great saints like Teresa of Lisieux and Charles de Foucauld. In fact, the refrain that closes the episode says that Jesus "went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and favor before God and man".
This is the profound mystery of Nazareth: Jesus, the Word of God in person, was immersed in our humanity for thirty years. The human words, the family relations, the experience of friendship and conflicts, health and sickness, joy and suffering became languages that Jesus learned in order to speak the Word of God.
Where did Jesus' words come from if not from the family and the context of Nazareth, his images, his ability to look at a field, the farmer who sows, the golden harvest, the woman who kneads the dough, the shepherd who lost his sheep, and the father with his two sons? Where did Jesus learn his surprising ability to tell stories, to imagine, to compare and to pray in and with life? Didn't they come from Jesus' immersion in the life of Nazareth? For this reason, we say that Nazareth is the place of humility and hiding. The word is hidden, the seed comes down into the womb of the earth and dies in order to bring God's love as a gift; indeed, God's paternal face. This is the mystery of Nazareth.
3. Family ties. Jesus lives in a family marked by Jewish spirituality and fidelity to the law: "Each year his parents went to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, and when he was twelve years old, they went up according to festival custom".
The family and the law were the context where Jesus grew in wisdom and grace.
The Hebrew family and Jewish religiosity, a patriarchal family and a domestic religion – with its yearly feasts, the sense of the sabbath, prayer and daily work and the style of a couple's pure and tender love – allow us to see how Jesus lived his family in depth.
We, too, grow up in a human family with attachments that welcome us and let us grow and respond to life and to God. We, too, become what we have received. The mystery of Nazareth is the whole of all these ties: the family and religiosity, our roots and our people, our daily life and dreams for the future. The adventure of human life starts from what we have received: life, home, affection, language, faith. Our humanity is forged by a family, with its riches and its forms of poverty.
E. Listening to the Magisterium
Family life brings a unique, new and creative style with it to be lived and enjoyed in the couple and transmitted to the children so that it will change the world. The evangelical style of family life has influence inside and beyond the ecclesial circle and makes the charisma of marriage shine, the new commandment of love of God and neighbor. In an evocative way Familiaris Consortio No. 64 exhorts us to rediscover a more family-friendly face of the Church by adopting "a more human and fraternal style of relationships".
Evangelical lifestyle in the family
Inspired and sustained by the new commandment of love, the Christian family welcomes, respects and serves every human being, considering each one in his or her dignity as a person and as a child of God.
It should be so especially between husband and wife and within the family, through a daily effort to promote a truly personal community, initiated and fostered by an inner communion of love. This way of life should then be extended to the wider circle of the ecclesial community of which the Christian family is a part.
Thanks to love within the family, the Church can and ought to take on a more homelike or family dimension, developing a more human and fraternal style of relationships. Love, too, goes beyond our brothers and sisters of the same faith since "everybody is my brother or sister."
In each individual, especially in the poor, the weak, and those who suffer or are unjustly treated, love knows how to discover the face of Christ, and discover a fellow human being to be loved and served. In order that the family may serve man in a truly evangelical way, the instructions of the Second Vatican Council must be carefully put into practice: "That the exercise of such charity may rise above any deficiencies in fact and even in appearance, certain fundamentals must be observed. Thus, attention is to be paid to the image of God in which our neighbor has been created, and also to Christ the Lord to whom is really offered whatever is given to a needy person" (AA 8).

When did Christmas start coming every six months?
Does that happen at your house? I know it happens here!
I could almost swear that just a few months ago, I was putting up a Christmas tree.
The old strings of lights were blown. I remember like it was yesterday.
And I remember putting everything away a few days later.
I hate shopping at the mall. I only go if I have to at Christmas time.
I try to find other places to shop (like the internet).
So, how come I find myself shopping again, so soon after 2008 Christmas.
I am probably still paying for last year's shopping.
I ordered Netflix for my sister's family this morning.
I know I just ordered it a little while ago for last Christmas.
We planted a new tree out front last year. It still looks the same size.
Even Tessy looks the same as last year.
So how come Christmas comes again, so fast after the last one???
Time is passing way too quickly, or else someone is playing a trick on me!
This may be the reason I am dragging my feet.
Still no tree, no lights up and no presents wrapped.

I know the interview was shown on the chinese news but I missed it! Does anyone has it? Care to upload to youtube or something pls?! :D top
Here's an excerpt from ST Life Monday Interview with Royston in April 06, where he talked about his next numerical film "132". Apparently 132 refers to a bus service no. !
"For now, Singapore can still stake a claim in Tan's next feature - 132, a film he hopes to shoot at the end of the year about a man who meets another man on a bus whose scent reminds him of his dead fiancee.
Casting for 132 will be a challenge because it will feature nudity, sex and an explosive ending that is guaranteed to get the censors all hot and bothered once more."
With nudity and sex, how can the film be "most accessible" ? Aiyoh top
arghh royston! why not do sth wholesome, funny and heartwarming for a change.
do you deliberately inject controversy into all your movies?

Well my sources tell me the film has to do with getai. top
