One of the problems with the Golden Globe nominations that came out this morning is the fact that lots of these movies, including the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's favorite, "American Hustle," haven't even made it to theaters yet.
And not just in San Antonio. Many haven't opened anywhere. They're screened early for HFPA voters, which makes for good prerelease buzz, if not a coherent discussion on the worthiness of the nominees.
A retro tale of '70s excess set during the Abscam scandal, "Hustle" tied "12 Years a Slave" for the most nominations (seven) the day before even its limited release. It opens on six screens tomorrow, presumably in New York and L.A. It'll make it to San Antonio on Dec. 20.
"The Wolf of Wall Street," starring Leonardo DiCaprio as an out-of-control stocks trader, opens Christmas Day. As a matter of fact, none of the five nominees for motion picture/musical or comedy has made it here yet.
Other nominees you haven't had a chance to see yet:
"Saving Mr. Banks": Starring Tom Hanks as Walt Disney and Emma Thompson as "Mary Poppins" author P.L Travers, this one also gets a limited release tomorrow and makes it to S.A. next week.
"Nebraska": Heralded Alexander Payne film starring Bruce Dern as a cranky old guy who thinks he's won a $1 million magazine prize opens tomorrow at the Bijou.
"Inside Llewyn Davis": Coen brothers' folk-music drama set in 1961 Greenwich Village gets to S.A. Dec. 20.
"Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom": Starring Idris Elba as Nelson Mandela, it gets here Christmas Day after a limited release Thanksgiving weekend.
"August: Osage County": Adaptation of Tracy Letts' play about the ultimate dysfunctional family has been moved back to Jan. 10; it had been set to open Christmas Day. Express-News movie buff Deborah Martin, who saw a screening last week, said Meryl Streep deserves her Best Actress/Musical or Comedy nomination as the cancer-stricken patriarch of this most dysfunctional family. (For the record, she was not as enthusiastic about Julia Roberts' supporting-actress nomination).
"Her": Spike Jonze's strange, surreal-sounding comedy stars Joaquin Phoenix as a writer who falls for his computer's operating system. It opens in a few markets next Wednesday, but won't make it to S.A. until Jan. 10.
"Labor Day": An oddity — a nomination for a mainstream movie set to open Jan. 31, not exactly a prestige date. Kate Winslet got an actress/motion picture/drama nod for her portrayal of a single mom who falls for an escaped convict (Josh Brolin) hiding out at her house. Maybe the HFPA just wanted Winslet to attend their awards party (the ceremony, set for Jan. 12, has been described as "boozy"). That was the accusation leveled in 2010 for the three nominations given to "The Tourist" (Tomatometer rating: 20), including acting nods for stars Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp.
NOTE: The controversial "Blue Is The Warmest Color" and the other four foreign-language-film nominees haven't opened in S.A. and probably never will unless one wins an Oscar. San Francisco Chronicle critic Mick LaSalle wrote that the exclusion of "Blue" from the best motion picture/drama category was "a mild surprise." LaSalle called "Blue," the winner at Cannes, the best film of 2013. A tale of a lesbian romance, the French film received tons of publicity for an explicit, 10-minute sex scene. But it also has a 90Tomatometer score.
"I doubt anyone walks out of 'Blue Is the Warmest Color' feeling they've seen a sex movie," LaSalle wrote. "When it won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, Steven Spielberg, hardly a radical, was president of the jury."

That text seems ok.

> N/A (combined mode algorithm with NULL encryption)
IKEv2 SA cannot be used with NULL encryption, so using AES-GMAC requires some other encryption algorithm when used in IKEv2. AES-GMAC requires IV and some other encryption algorithm used with it also requires IV, which means we require two IVs or they require sharing the IV, which might not be possible as there IV generation rules (and lengths) might be different.
I do not think it is possible to use AES-GMAC at all to protect IKEv2 traffic, and also it does not make any sense to use AES-GMAC as it says that it is to be used when no confidentiality is desired, and as in IKEv2 that is required then AES-GCM should be used instead.
>From RFC5282:
If confidentiality is desired, then GCM ESP [RFC4106] SHOULD be used instead.
So I think the correct change is
IKEv2 - N/A (IKEv2 requires encryption). -- firstname.lastname@example.com _______________________________________________ IPsec mailing list email@example.com https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipsec

Dressing 'casually' can be a problem. Like many things, the more thought you put into it, the room there is for error. Highlights of my recent fashion discoveries include the sad realisation that my Rive Gauche blazer is the only thing to pull off big shoulders, complex layering assumes the look of one going hiking, and the effortless colour blocking tactics are only possible with precision training, and an unlimited tonal wardrobe. To the latter sentiment, one (and by this I mean me) may resemble one's seven-year-old self's paint palette. And that's not something I'd like to remember.
Thinking about what to wear in the morning is often just a little too complicated. Stick to what you know usually works best, often sufficing as the solution to my frequent ensemble dilemmas. This season, I sense a real solution. Introducing minimal maximisation... or rather, the rise of the oversize.
I realise that excessively large sized clothes may not be immediately appealing. Like layering they are fraught with difficulties largely associated with 'does my bum look (too) big in this?' Despite this, that very exclusive nod to fashion is all there in the act of the oversized. Be not fooled, this is no excuse to gorge on Godiva's delectable chocolate-covered strawberries, or to stop that excellent running habit you've adopted. Whether I'm referring to the one in Louboutins to the bus stop, or the 5k I'll leave to you.
Husbands beware, the 'Bridget, that's not your coat' trend can be actually be put into practice, making extensive appearances on the catwalk and reducing models to their even more skeletal selves. Roksanda Ilincic literally pulled out all the stops with almost inflatable looking coats, going Olympic-style sumo against the oversized trend. Championing more of a bedtime than Olympic Park vibe, Chloe matched the covetable Parisian sensibilities with a British sporting edge in creating a very comfy collection of coats, while Celine fell back on elegant yet minimalist functionality, as is their timeless mission.
Pair an oversized boyfriend blazer with a slick pair of trousers for the perfect complement to the new season a la the queen of casual chic and those wedged trainers, Isabel Marant. The Parisian worked an almost impossibly chic boyfriend blazer with simple skinny trousers and stilettos for her take on oversized. Now who said fashion was tricky?
Not everyone chose macho man for their autumn theme song; Raf Simons' last collection for Jil Sander generated a well-deserved standing ovation from the Milan crowd, exhibiting perfect large scale minimalism. The absolutely divine pastel coat, seemingly more at home in your grandmother's dressing up box than the catwalk, sealed Raf's place in fashion history.
Coats were not alone in this trend's domination. Prada showed the ultimate high fashion geek chic brogue, super high, and super clumpy yet ultimately powerful. Almost so bad they're fabulous, Prada's shoes literally lift you into the fashion limelight. A broad selection of large than life tote bags more suited to a weekend in the Cotswolds than a trip to Waitrose with the kids emerged. We've all done it, bought a huge handbag and proceeded to fill it with as much as possible. This is regrettable yet inevitable position to be in, and made all that easier by Valentino's Mary Poppins effect hold all.
In a strange sartorial hybrid, the rise of the oversize signals minimalism within a much larger idea. While shapes might be overbearing, concepts are minimal, forming the perfect combination of micro macro. Minimalism, the chic Parisian's favourite, favours a simple way of living and dressing that can be easily incorporated into AW12's biggest and boldest trend.
In a season that celebrates the waist, we are treated to a splendid array of cuddle-me coats. Thomas Tait's wide collar pea green number was almost as inviting as MaxMara's maximum lengths in coordinating colours while Commes des Garcons struck a floral chord with a cape-like piece, enough fabric to wrap up half the finale girls. During all of this, the clean architectural lines we have come to expect have not been forgotten in construction. Big, bold and beautiful does not signal the end of tailoring, it has simply streamlined to perfect the utterly sensationally casual in oversized looks.
So if Michelin men don't take your fancy and Chloe's dressing gown look is just a tiny bit too appealing, invite Raf Simons into your life and champion oversized simplicity. With that coat, you barely need a dress. Cough, did I really suggest that? Financially viable though, let's be honest.

Kitchen Talk for April 30th
Have you ever snuck something into a meal and not told your kids exactly what they were eating? If so, could they tell and did they like it?
I have made the vegtable pasta and told the kids it was just rainbow pasta. my DS didn't like it too much but DD did.
All the time! Kale, Veggies, liver, chicken giblets, fruits...... That's what the blender was made for right!? None of my kids ever say a word about noticing lol
Not that I can remember. Although I often sneak onions in on my husband and he freaks out if he notices them. lol
Not intentionally.
When my son was 4 or 5, my husband was barbecuing some venison at a neighbor's/friend's house. When we had dinner, my son said it tasted good and asked what the meat was. When we mentioned it was deer, he started crying. I felt so bad. I didn't think to explain WHAT venison was. Since then, he's had no issue eating venison. I'm not even sure if he remembers the incident.
I've added chopped carrots and celery to meatloaf, or onions or garlic bit tell them if they ask/ notice.
I've never done the cauliflower in the mashed taters or anything.

Billionaire Costs Climb as $18 Billion of Debt Due: India Credit
Default risk for Indian companies has risen to a one-year high as a plunging rupee increases the cost of repaying $18 billion of debt due by March.
Companies led by billionaires Mukesh Ambani and Anil Agarwal are among borrowers with $10.6 billion of bonds and loans maturing by Dec. 31 and $7.4 billion in the following three months, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The average cost of insuring notes of seven Indian issuers against non-payment has risen 96 basis points in 2013 to 366 basis points as of Aug. 22, the highest since September, according to data provider CMA. A similar measure for Asia fell 49 basis points to 96.
Credit Suisse Group AG predicts the fiscal period ending March 31 could be "the year of reckoning" as the slowest growth in a decade impairs profitability and debt-servicing ability. SJS Markets Ltd. says the rupee's slide to a record will raise refinancing costs and lead to accounting losses. The amount due in the coming seven months is similar to the $20.1 billion in debt raised overseas by Indian companies this year.
"Companies are more vulnerable to currency shocks than at any time in recent history," Deep Narayan Mukherjee, a Mumbai-based director at India Ratings Ltd., the local unit of Fitch Ratings Ltd., said in an Aug. 20 telephone interview. "The debt-servicing capability of Indian companies is at the lowest level in at least five years."
'Misguided' Claims
Borrowings of 10 Indian business groups tracked by Credit Suisse surged sixfold to 6.31 trillion rupees ($97 billion) in the six years ended March 2013, according to an Aug. 13 research report by the Swiss bank. These include companies such as billionaire Anil Ambani's Reliance Communications Ltd., Shashikant and Ravikant Ruia's Essar Power Ltd., Gautam Adani's Adani Power Ltd. and Agarwal's Vedanta Resources Plc.
The conclusions reached by Credit Suisse are "highly speculative and misguided" and the brokerage didn't provide details on the debt, a spokesperson for Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group said by e-mail on Aug. 21. "There is also no question" of facing any stress in meeting debt obligations as the group's projects are progressing toward scheduled completion, the spokesperson wrote.
"Such snapshots are an unfair measure of the health of industrial groups, given they show just the costs of investments, not the future income from these investments," V. Ashok, Essar group chief financial officer, said in an Aug. 22 e-mail, referring to the Credit Suisse report. The group companies are refinancing "high-cost" rupee loans with dollar debt and overseas income provides a natural hedge, he said.
Currency Hedge
The Adani group had gross debt of 693 billion rupees as of March 31, lower than the Credit Suisse estimate of 811 billion rupees due to the sale of an Australian coal terminal, an Adani spokesperson said in an Aug. 22 e-mail. The company has purchased currency hedges for short-term liabilities and project finance is of long-term nature, the spokesperson said.
Manish Kalhatgi, spokesman for GMR Infrastructure Ltd., declined to comment in an e-mail, while press officers at groups controlling Vedanta, Essar Power, Adani Power, Jaiprakash Associates Ltd. and GVK Power & Infrastructure Ltd. didn't respond to e-mails seeking comment on the Credit Suisse report.
"For most of them the debt increase has outpaced capital expenditure, and asset sales are yet to take off," Ashish Gupta, Kush Shah and Prashant Kumar, Mumbai-based analysts at Credit Suisse wrote in the report.
Dollar Yield
The yield on Vedanta's $1.2 billion of 6 percent notes due 2019 rose to 8.72 percent yesterday from 6.58 percent on July 31, Bloomberg-compiled prices show. The yield on its $500 million of notes due in January rose to 6.68 percent from 3.89 percent in the same period, the data show.
The average yield for dollar debt of Indian companies rose 133 basis points, or 1.33 percentage point, to 6.32, according to HSBC Holdings Plc indexes.
Applications to restructure stressed loans climbed to 3.38 trillion rupees as of June 30 from 2.27 trillion rupees a year earlier, according to data from the Corporate Debt Restructuring Cell, a forum for Indian banks to negotiate such debt. Bad loans in the banking system reached 3.9 percent of total lending as of the end of June, the highest in at least five years, data compiled by the central bank show.
'Already Alarming'
"The level of restructured debt is already alarming and will rise as corporates get more stressed," Supratim Sarkar, Mumbai-based head of structured finance at SBI Capital Markets Ltd., said in an Aug. 19 telephone interview.
The investment banking arm of India's largest lender restructured 550 billion rupees of debt in the year ended March 31, an almost 17-fold increase from 33 billion rupees two years earlier, according to Sarkar. SBI Capital is currently helping companies including Lanco Infratech Ltd., Educomp Solutions Ltd. and Bombay Rayon Fashions Ltd. recast loans, he said.
Shantanu Prakash, Educomp's managing director, declined to immediately comment when called on his mobile phone. E-mails to Bombay Rayon's spokeswoman Prachi Deshpande and Lanco Infratech spokesman A. Narasimhan were unanswered.
Well-run companies that generate large proportions of their earnings overseas will be able to tide over current difficulties and are used to coping with rupee volatility, according to HSBC Global Asset Management. Reliance Industries, whose exports comprised 63 percent of sales in the quarter ended June 30, had 930.7 billion rupees of cash and equivalents at the end of the period compared with total debt of 803.1 billion rupees.
Reliance Industries' spokesman Tushar Pania didn't respond to an e-mail seeking comment.
'Fantastically Well-Run'
"There are some fantastically well-run companies in India with a lot of their business outside of India," Bill Maldonado, Hong Kong-based chief investment officer for Asia Pacific at HSBC Global, which manages $413 billion, said in an Aug. 21 interview. "Many of those are very cheap and profitable."
India's rupee has weakened 14.7 percent this year, the most in Asia. The currency rose 0.3 percent to 64.4500 per dollar today after dropping to a record 65.56 yesterday. The yield on the 10-year benchmark bond has risen 24 basis points in 2013 to 8.29 percent as the central bank engineered a cash crunch to shore up the rupee.
India Ratings said on Aug. 1 it may downgrade 65 of 290 investment-grade local issuers should the rupee remain weaker than 60 per dollar for "a sustained period." Only half of local firms' foreign-exchange exposure, which included $200 billion of outstanding overseas liabilities as of March 31, is hedged, Crisil Ltd., the local unit of Standard & Poor's, said in a July 10 report.
"Indian companies will able to refinance their debt at a higher spread," Hemant Dharnidharka, the Bangalore-based head of credit research at SJS Markets, said in an e-mail interview yesterday. "They will have to book the exchange-rate differential through their profit-and-loss account, which will negatively impact profitability."

Watch this nice video and learn how to drive the Porsche 911 GT3 properly. Awesome!
So, you bought your first Porsche 911 GT3. Good for you, but can you handle this beast? The Germans refined their rear-engine setup for decades, making each generation of the iconic 911 better than before. Still, there are moments when Stuttgart's best can be a handful.
To avoid this, you can take the GT3 to the Porsche Experience Center at Silverstone and learn from chief driving consultant Gordon Robertson how to tackle tight bends, low friction surfaces and, overall, significantly improve your driving skills.

The mayor of Deer Lake says residents are tired of ATVs on the roads, and the town will hold its first meeting Monday night to discuss it.
Dean Ball said a lot of riders are using residential streets to get to the trail system, and he's received calls about young people driving recklessly.
He said the town wants to remain ATV-friendly, so it will work with drivers and RCMP on a solution.
"We have a lot of frustrated residents, and I can certainly understand [it when] the phone rings and you've got some irate taxpayer that's within his or her rights complaining, and I certainly sympathize in a lot of cases, so this first meeting tonight will be to see, to put a sort of a plan in place on how in-depth we go here with this," Ball said.
Ball thinks it's a case of just a few people exacerbating the situation.
"In my opinion, you have a few bad apples that are making the situation a lot worse for everybody, and we certainly don't want again — and I can't say it enough — that we're not looking to shut this industry, I will call it, down," he said.
"But we have to get a handle before somebody is seriously hurt. We have to get a message out to our kids that this is not acceptable and we will not be permitting it."
Ball said he does not want to ban the use of ATVs in Deer Lake, but there needs to be a resolution.

Lamar should look for fumbles vs. Texas State
Updated 1:29 am, Saturday, October 15, 2011
The Lamar defense might not always know what to expect Saturday night.
But defenders should keep an eye on the turf.
That's where they might find a fumbled football.
Texas State runs what Lamar coach Ray Woodard calls a triple-option offense, a risky offense that can yield big results.
Texas State's 19 fumbles and 10 lost fumbles are more than any Southland Conference team.
"We've got to pick our places to gamble a little bit," Woodard said. "We need to make sure we understand that they're going to move the ball some. It just happens. We've got to clamp down at the right time."
Texas State has averaged more than 200 rush yards in three straight wins against Southland Conference schools.
Woodard said all three - Stephen F. Austin, Nicholls State and McNeese State - tried different defenses with varying successes.
"We're probably a little bit of a unique preparation," said coach Dennis Franchione, a former Texas A&M coach in his first season at Texas State.
The McNeese defense had the most success, limiting Texas State to 139 rush yards last week.
But McNeese failed to recover any of Texas State's five fumbles and let the Bobcats escape with a 21-14 victory.
Texas State lost each of its four fumbles Oct. 1 against Nicholls, but the last three of those came after the Bobcats led by as many as 29 points in a 38-12 victory.
Defending an option team means having one defender each assigned to the quarterback and to each of the two running backs. Those assignments will frequently change to account for what Woodard estimates to be at least six blocking schemes used by Texas State.
"You can't just say, 'You've got that, you've got that and you've got that,' because they're going to block it different," Woodard said.
The best way to get Texas State out of its game is "if - and this is a huge 'if' - if you can get this team double digits behind and make them throw the ball," Woodard said. "You can kind of get them out of what they really want to do."
Texas State (4-2) ran about 75 percent of the time against the three Southland opponents.
The Bobcats also used well-timed passes. Quarterback Shaun Rutherford averages 17.6 yards per completion with eight touchdowns and two interceptions against Southland teams.
Woodard said he has seen a new wrinkle added to the Texas State offense each week.
His challenge is to figure out what that is.
"That's what makes it fun," Woodard said.
The game does not count in Southland standings as Texas State prepares to join the Western Athletic Conference in 2012.
Lamar (3-2) did not make players available for interviews this week.

This is an unofficial announcement of Commission action. Release of the full text of a Commission order constitutes official action. See MCI v. FCC. 515 F 2d 385 (D.C. Circ 1974).
In a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking adopted today, the Federal Communications
Commission proposed to facilitate its implementation of the Universal Licensing System (ULS),
and to consolidate, revise, and streamline rules governing application procedures for radio
services licensed by the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau.
ULS is an automated licensing system now in development that will be used to handle all future licensing of wireless radio services regulated by the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau. When fully operational, ULS will replace eleven separate licensing systems and databases now being used for various wireless services. It will support full electronic filing of all licensing-related applications and other filings associated with such applications. ULS will also provide the public with on-line access to public licensing information, which will be obtainable by dialing into the Commission's wide area network and using any World Wide Web browser. ULS will also be designed to keep licensee information secure from outside tampering.
In the Notice, the Commission proposed a variety of rule changes that will allow wireless applicants and licensees to take full advantage of the technological benefits of ULS, and that will make the Commission's wireless licensing procedures faster, less burdensome, and more consistent. Specifically, the Commission proposed to:
The Commission stated that proposals made in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking will reduce the administrative burden on applicants and licensees, enhance the efficiency of the Commission in carrying out its regulatory responsibilities; and help make licensing information more accessible to the public; including persons with disabilities.
The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau will host a half-day seminar on the ULS on Thursday, March 19, 1998. This seminar will be held in the Commission Meeting Room, Room 854, 1919 M Street, N.W. beginning at 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The seminar will feature a demonstration of a prototype of the ULS system and will provide attendees with information about the development and implementation of this system.
For more details on the ULS visit the FCC's beta site at http://www.fcc.gov/wtb/uls.

Canada Auto Workers Chief Renews Threat Strike
By IAN AUSTEN
Published: September 17, 2012
OTTAWA -- Despite making progress with the Ford Motor Company of Canada during contract talks over the weekend, Ken Lewenza, the president of the Canadian Auto Workers union, renewed his threat on Sunday to strike all three Detroit automakers.
Mr. Lewenza told a news conference that the union would now concentrate its efforts on negotiating a deal with Ford, which it hopes to present to the Canadian branches of General Motors and Chrysler before the strike deadline of 11:59 p.m. on Monday.
But he added that if no agreement was signed or close to resolution at that time, the union may start three simultaneous strikes. Such a step would be unprecedented for the Canadian union, which normally selects just a single company as its strike target.
Canada's manufacturing sector is disproportionately dependent on Detroit's automakers, as well as Honda and Toyota. The loss of production at the three companies' plants, with the exception of a factory G.M. owns in a joint venture with Suzuki, could have a significant impact on the country's economy.
Mark Hopkins, an economist with Moody's Analytics, wrote in an analysis published on Friday that auto-related companies contributed about three-quarters of the growth in Canada's manufacturing sector over the 12 months leading to June.
''Stalling this momentum, even temporarily, would be costly,'' Mr. Hopkins wrote.
Exactly what changed between the union and Ford at the negotiations, which began about a month ago, is not clear.
''Ford has been a respectful company the last couple of days,'' Mr. Lewenza said. ''But they're still a tough company.''
It appears that the breakthrough may be related to an issue that is dividing all three of the companies and the union. Looking to reduce costs, the automakers want to mirror contracts they have in the United States that pay lower wages to newly hired employees. In Canada, new employees start at lower rate but gradually shift to the higher wage rate scale.
While the union has offered to extend the period of time during which new employees are paid less, Mr. Lewenza said that his union will not accept the two-tiered approach to pay.
''It's not just a philosophical problem,'' Mr. Lewenza said. ''I think it creates morale problems, I think it creates productivity problems.''
Stacey Allerton, vice president for human resources at Ford of Canada, said in a statement that ''we are confident that, working together, we can find innovative solutions to help build a successful future for our Canadian operations.''
The rise of the Canadian dollar to parity with the American dollar has reduced the usual cost advantage of Canadian auto plants and put pressure on the union to find cost savings for manufacturers. Even Mr. Lewenza acknowledged that labor costs are now higher in Canada because of the exchange rate.
Sergio Marchionne, the chief executive of the Chrysler Group, threatened to withdraw the company from Canada during an interview with The Globe and Mail earlier this month.
''Nobody in their right mind would continue to create an unlevel playing field in its own organization,'' he told the Canadian national newspaper. ''It's impossible. We have other plants, other options.''
The remark set off some controversy in Canada because both the federal government and the province of Ontario contributed to Chrysler's bailout.
Chrysler Canada did not respond to a request for comment.
On Sunday, General Motors of Canada repeated its position that any contract must bring cost savings.
''We are focused on working with our C.A.W. partners to reach an agreement that will improve G.M. Canada's competitive position for the future, which is imperative in today's global marketplace,'' the company said in a statement.

Q: My girlfriend has had countless cosmetic surgeries and recently she insisted I have a facelift. She was embarrassed by my "aged appearance" (we are both 37). I reluctantly agreed and spent thousands of dollars for the procedure. I was even (relatively) pleased with the results. Now my girlfriend has determined that one of my toes is "hideously crooked." She wants it surgically corrected. I refuse to have what I consider another unnecessary surgery (the toe barely curves and I have had no pain or issues). My girlfriend is horrified that I will be out and about wearing flip-flops with my hideous toe for all to see. She told me I had a choice — her or the toe. When I told her I choose the toe, she agreed to stay if I only wear closed-toe shoes. Forever. I should mention that for 37 she has an amazing body. What do you think?
A: Of course your facelift turned out well — there was nothing to lift. Stay with this woman and I predict a future in which you end up like Michael Jackson, having to constantly wear a bandage on your nose because of all your botched surgeries. Your girlfriend may have a great body — she's surely paid enough for it — but I'll play doctor and suggest she may have Body Dysmorphic Disorder.
As for her demands about you, let's add BDD-by-proxy to her list of ailments. You know there's nothing wrong with either your face or your toe, but something's gone awry with your head. No matter the glory of your girlfriend's cosmetic enhancements, she's a nut who's going to ruin your life. Think of the possibilities of what's next: an earlobe trim, a scrotum tuck.
I say put on your flip-flops with pride and tell her to take a hike.
Put brakes on wedding
I am post-grad who, like many others, has dated a few people in my social group. I recently met and fell in love with a man I plan to marry (via online dating) and introduced him to my social group at a large party. One of the guys I dated briefly was there and my man was very upset. He says he doesn't like being around guys I slept with. I think he should just get over it, but he says I need to stop going to places where my "past is around." What say you?
I say hold off on the wedding planning. It sounds as if you have gotten engaged really quickly if your friends are only now meeting your fiancé.
There are people who consider being virgins when they marry to be an important value. Presumably, you and your fiancé are not among these people. Yet he wants you to strike from your social group anyone who may have had previous intimate knowledge of you. Let's say you had been married before and had had a child with your ex. I assume the father of your kid would not be verboten because he reminded your new love that you had loved someone else.
Extreme jealousy is highly destructive to a relationship. Your boyfriend is exhibiting a bad case of it, which should put your planning for the future on pause. — Slate.com

The craziness continues.
First of all, you simply must read Dick Jerardi's column in this morning's Daily News. It is significant enough that they even tried to do a mock bracket. But the truly impressive accomplishment is what Jerardi was able to take what he's learned from Indianapolis in recent years and teach a new group of people how to go through the process.
That is really impressive.
Second, we have a new special section for conference tournament coverage. Click here to get everything you need to know about the A-10, Big East, ACC and all the other leagues.
Now for tonight's action. We've got a trio of great rivalries playing out on the best possible stage: conference tournament finals.
We start with George Mason facing Virginia Commonwealth in the CAA final in Richmond, taking places as I write this post. Then at 9, picture-in-picture will be in order as Niagara meets at-large candidate Siena in the MAAC and St. Mary's squares off once again with Gonzaga in the West Coast Conference.
That Niagara-Siena game is loaded with Philly ties, by the way. Purple Eagles coach Joe Mihalich and players Tyrone Lewis, Bilal Benn, Austin Cooley and Kashief Edwards all hail from our area, while Saints coach Fran McCaffery and guard Ronald Moore are area natives as well.
You could have a heck of a debate about which game has bigger implications for the NCAA Tournament field. Siena is smack on the bubble, while if St. Mary's plays well tonight and loses they could get back in shape with Patty Mills back at full health. Gonzaga probably gets in regardless of result.
I'd be interested to know which one you'll be watching.
Tomorrow, I hit the road (okay, the escalator at 30th Street Station) and head for what should be a great day of blogging in New York. At noon, I'll be at CBS headquarters for a media session with many of the network's NCAA Tournament broadcasters, including Gus Johnson, Bill Raftery, Jim Nantz, Jay Bilas and Ian Eagle.
After that, I'll hop on the subway and head over to Madison Square Garden for Georgetown-St. John's in the Big East Tournament. If I can get away with it, I'll try to open a liveblog and we can talk hoops for a while, but I'm not guaranteeing anything.
As soon as the final horn sounds in that game, I'll get back on the train and return to Philadelphia for Princeton-Penn at 8 p.m. It's the Palestra's last game of the season, which will give us a good opportunity to reflect on the Quakers' troubles and everything else we've seen on 33rd Street this year.
Then it's off to Atlantic City on Wednesday, and we'll be courtside at Boardwalk Hall at noon sharp for the tipoff of Saint Louis-La Salle.
Can you handle it? I think so. In fact, I bet you're still hungry. So fill yourself up with new editions of the City Six rankings table and the Schuylkill 16 RPI teamsheet compilation. The Schuylkill 16 will return Wednesday morning after Princeton-Penn.
Note that Drexel's overall record includes the (bad, to put it nicely) CAA Tournament loss to Towson, but the conference record only includes regular season games.

if the GOP is smart- which they're not- they beat the rats over the head with this and remind everyone the demoKrats want the UN to stand on their side and disenfranchise ordinary, taxpaying Americans their legal vote by helping to prevent fraud...
Right so don't count on the GOP .
Since primaries are going on one or two smart and strong candidates could nail that.
Conservative radio talk show could and should nail that.
It could become a campaign important issue
Never happen; they're too damned D-U-M-B.

I am using the vigilence theme and my posts (homepage and single) do not display the author byline "by ______." I am wondering why. I have my user profile configured right. I've seen the post on which themes show the byline and which ones don't. As far as I can tell, it should be there. I read that some themes only show the author when there is more than one author posting. Could that be the case here?
I'd be most appreciative if someone might be able to give me some clues.
Much obliged.

ABC's "I'm a Celebrity -- Get Me Out of Here!"
When Julie Brown came to American shores to be a VJ for MTV, she learned to play basketball for fun and applied her typical downtown' chic aesthetic to the game. Her teammates dubbed her "Downtown" Julie Brown for the rhyme and the rhythm. From her early "Wubba-Wubba-Wubba" days at MTV, her career has mimicked the success and growth of MTV itself, diversifying and re-defining itself all along the way.
Julie has appeared on such hit shows as "Walker, Texas Ranger," "V.I.P," "Martial Law" and "Lois & Clark," as well as numerous others. You can also catch her at her cattiest as "Enchantra," the talking cat of the animated series, "Sabrina the Teenaged Witch."
Born in Bedforshire, England, to a full-time mom and a father who served as a flight sergeant in the Royal Air Force, Julie is one of seven brothers and sisters. Before moving to the United States, she lived all over England, as well as in Singapore and Cyprus. She hosted various television programs in the U.K., including "Music Box," when executives from MTV caught her act and hired her immediately for a coveted VJ position on MTV.
Within a few years, Julie left the world of music and MTV to pursue another of her passions, sports. When she joined the ESPN "Monday Night Football" team, her unique style of interviewing earned her the respect of sports commentators, writers, players and -- toughest of all -- the fans. Her many memorable segments included playing baseball with Mickey Mantle, running a play with Jerry Rice and shooting one-on-one with Michael Jordan.
Next she took on the role of special reporter for "Inside Edition," taking the home audience to special events all around the world, ranging from the Super Bowl's All Star Games to fashion shows in Paris and Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
Most recently Julie hosted the very popular "The Gossip Show" for E! Entertainment Television, where she closed each show with the famous tag line, "Peace, love and gossip!" Aside from her endeavors at E!, Julie brought her energy and charm seven days a week to "In Tune," a half-hour program showcasing the top performers in all genres of music, for DirecTV. Radio was also something she wanted to conquer, and in 2001 she hosted "Downtown with Julie Brown,"., a weekly, nationally syndicated radio program covering entertainment, sports and gossip.
Julie has lent her name and/or time to numerous charities and causes, including United Cerebral Palsy for the last seven years.

It must be the day for takeover speculation.
Marketing services group Creston has climbed nearly 11% following news after the market closed on Friday that French advertising giant Havas had declared a 5.18% stake. Johnathan Barrett at Singer Capital Markets said:
Unless there is clarity to the contrary there is likely to be bid speculation. In general, larger agencies are significantly more highly rated than smaller peers and therefore acquisitions would be prima facie accretive. The marketing services sector is in good health, despite tough [macroeconomic environment], and larger groups are looking to invest cash flow in acquisitions. Creston [is] both cheap and likely to be subject to approaches unless its valuation rises to reflect the fundamentals of its attractive assets, client list and health unit.
News of the stakebuilding has sent Creston 7.63p higher to 78p.
Meanwhile Marks & Spencer is still 8.5p better at 349.6p after weekend reports it could be a target, while Royal Bank of Scotland has risen 2.5p to 218.5p on talk of a number of possible bidders for its US business Citizens, which could be worth £10bn.
Elsewhere Telecity has climbed 51p to 889.5p after the data centre operator unveiled a 26.6% rise in half year earnings to £62.6m. and bought its first operation in Finland. The Helsinki-based Tenue, bought for £3.7m, will give Telecity capacity at an important crossroads for growing traffic between Russia and western Europe. Jonathan Imiah at Canaccord Genuity kept his hold recommendation but raised his target price from 700p to 735p:
These are yet another strong set of results from Telecity, particularly in the context of a substantial weakening in the euro over the past few months. The entrance into the key Finnish market – a bridgehead for Scandinavia (adding to
the group's existing asset in Stockholm), Russia and Eastern Europe – makes clear strategic and financial sense.
Heritage Oil, suspended in July at 123p when it announced an $850m deal to buy a major stake in Nigeria's OML 30 and a $370m rights issue to help pay for the purchase, has narrowed its half year losses from $6.9m to $6.7m.

|Separate WC's
|1,614 sq. ft.
|Property type
This privately owned family villa is located within the Vila Sol 5* golf and spa complex. The championship 27 hole inland course and new Spa are located within walking distances. The complex is on the Northern boundary of Vilamoura with its famous Marina and many restaurants. The pool is 10m x 5m with a deep end. Pool toys for the kids, a table tennis table and wifi. These are some of the additional features available at the villa.
A lovely villa with several good quality bars and restaurants within walking distance. The villa was great , very spacious and incredibly well equipped. Even with 10 adults we never felt cramped as the villa provided a spacious lounge and superb kitchen and outside dining space. The pool was a good size and the surrounding garden was a bonus- providing ample room to play table tennis, badminton and to kick a ball about. The local taxis were friendly and reliable anytime we wanted to venture further afield and could take up to 6 people. The photos on line do not do it justice. So much nicer in reality than the photos. A great villa and a lovely holiday we would definitely consider returning again.
This was hands down, my favourite holiday ever! Everything was fab, from the location of the villa, to the amazing sound system in every room!
We arrived at the villa at approx 4pm, and we were all exhausted after travelling from 5am. We were ready to just grab dinner and have an early night, that was until we saw the pool! It was so inviting!
Once we arrived, we called the management team, and they were there within 5 minutes to let us in, and show us around.
The kitchen was well equipped, everything you could need. We cooked some nights, and didn't struggle in the slightest. Everything was spotless, and well looked after. The folder in the living room was ever so helpful, lots of taxi numbers, and eating recommendations.
Sheena and her husband were ever so helpful, everything was very straightforward!
The local bar/restaurant, Oscars, is just a 5 minute walk, the menu is lovely, and not too expensive. Staff all very friendly, and full of information of the local area.
Overall, the holiday was fantastic, from booking it, to leaving! I'd definitely recommend Sheena and her villa to friends and relatives!!
We have just returned from this villa where we had an awesome holiday. The villa itself had everything you could imagine in it, we took buckets, pool toys etc for kids but there was everything there already - this kids had so much to be entertained with - unreal!! We thought the villa would overlooking a golf course but it was on a golf course estate but location was great - you do need a car. Beach was close and great restaurants at Villamoura harbour front. Would highly recommend to anyone!!
Arrived at the villa, and straight away the wow factor hit! Even the additonal photos that Sheena Gilchrist kindly sent to us didnt make the place look nearly as good as it i in real life!!! The quality is top knotch, granite work surfaces, Linn sound system (like you get in new Aston Martins) throughtout the villa and even sky tv (not that you should really be using it while you are on holiday). The living area is very large, great place to be with your friends, enyoying life.
They have contractors that keep the place spotless so as a result the villa was very clean, even the heated pool (with lights at night) was spot on!
I will definately be returning to this villa next time as it is by far the best that I have stayed in!
Fantastic villa, excellent location!
We had a girls getaway weekend for 10 and found the villa to be first class. Well maintained and in a good location it was better in the flesh than the pictures that were sent of it.
Owners were very accommodating with early check in and late check out and handled the stay excellently.
Only negative was the charge for electricity- as no a/c or pool heating was used.
Been to this villa 4 times now and going in a couple of weeks again. We are not golf players but it is ideal for golf. It is by far the best villa at this price range we have been to. The pictures do not do it justice ! It is great if you like entertaining or eating out. granite worktops etc. It is well spaced and well maintained. The pool is large and heated if required. The kids love english sky tv . By the way we have already booked to go October half term.
few minutes drive from white sandy beaches with water sports. Many portuguese restaurants - extra value for money, within easy reach of the villa. Try the Forum Algarve for an exciting new shopping complex with restaurants and cinema. Vilamoura is 5 minutes drive from the villa with it's beautiful marina and an exciting buzz day and night.
Other Activities: fishing

I bumped into Zipwhip founder John Lauer at the paidContent wireless event last week. But the entrepreneur still wasn't sharing many details about his new company, which is planning to launch later this year.
This much I do know about the stealthy operation. They are attacking the text-messaging arena in a big way.
"Texting is now a mainstream communication medium and yet there's no good way to text from your computer. We aim to solve that," said Lauer in a recent e-mail.
I also found this company description in a job post:
Working closely with major U.S. wireless carriers, our goal is to bridge the gap between text messaging and the web. With over a dozen applications on our product roadmap we're well positioned to become the de-facto platform for text messaging on the internet.
Sounds pretty cool. But what else is interesting about Zipwhip is that Lauer is a proven entrepreneur, having sold his last company, Simplewire, to Qpass in 2006.
Lauer told me that the acquisition worked out perfectly for his team, since a few months later Qpass was purchased by Amdocs for $275 million.
Stay tuned for more details as they emerge about Zipwhip.

Last weekend I was, as usual, fooling around West Cork and came across a small establishment outside Macroom in a place called Toons Bridge.
This is a tiny shop attached to a dairy and it has just opened a tiny cafe.
The dairy produces mozzarella cheese and other milk products from a farm of buffalo just across the river. The shop sells the dairy products and an assortment of fine Italian foods imported directly. The cafe offers both in a menu of high quality but inexpensive dishes served up with a smile and courtesy.
Hold on. Ireland is in the grip of a dramatic recession. Emigration is rampant, morale is low and political leadership is watery. Yet here we have the true definition of entrepreneurship. Someone has decided to feck the begrudgers and set about offering fresh food at a competitive price in the heart of rural Ireland. What should we all learn from this initiative ?
There are numerous points here but the most obvious are; (1) an individual or couple in Ireland with determination and imagination can create a viable business on their own doorstep; (2) quality produce and service has a habit of generating positive responses from consumers anywhere in the country; (3) small can be beautiful if packaged in the right way, and; (4) offering produce at truly competitive prices wins custom and loyalty.
These themes can be applied at the national level too. If Ireland is to extricate itself from the morass that it now sits in, drive and ambition will be key elements of recovery.
A downside of the Celtic Tiger years was a drift into complacency about productivity, value for money and civil behaviour towards customers. On top of that pricing went ballistic (cup of coffee for €3 anyone?) as business owners and landlords believed everything could be solved by jacking up prices. Now, the scene has changed dramatically.
I noticed last month that the area around Grafton Street in Dublin is buzzing again and the suspicion must be that rents are being struck at rates which make the risk of opening a new retail offering worthwhile.
The collapse of the commercial property market is bringing rents to levels that give entrepreneurs a decent shot at opening up with prices for customers that make sense.
The recession is forcing those same entrepreneurs to work really hard at being kind to those who walk through their doors and at introducing products at a price and quality that actually sells.
Let's hope this phenomenon spreads out. Rural Ireland is in desperate need of positive energy.
Too many streets are awfully quiet and retail outlets have closed down across the land. Rebooting these will be helped if the owners offer them at rock bottom prices. Then, we need a generation with imagination to open up shops, cafes and other consumer-facing projects that offer high quality and affordable prices.
Imagine for a minute if we could create 100 outlets akin to those in Toons Bridge. These would help; (1) create jobs; (2) lift the quality of food produce we offer to locals and tourists alike; (3) breathe life into small communities. All sounds rosy, right? Not quite.
If Ireland is to drag itself off the floor and win back the markets lost in the recession (tourism being No 1) it must never again fall in to the trap of assuming its customers will tolerate shoddy service, mad prices and inferior product. The standards from here on require diligence, discipline and a huge amount of patience.
If the people behind The Dairy in Toons Bridge keep these issues in mind over the next 10 years their business will thrive. If they ever let complacency seep in to their staff or product line the consequences will be dire. The same applies to Ireland Inc.

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has closed a 30-foot stretch of riverbank on the Kenai to anglers.
"The soils are always waterlogged. They are extremely fragile. Any use by people tends to break down the bank," said Larry Marsh, assistant area management biologist for Fish and Game.
As of 12:01 a.m., Saturday, an area on the north bank of the Kenai River between a Fish and Game regulatory marker at the upstream confluence of Soldotna Creek with the Kenai River upstream approximately 30 feet to another regulatory marker on the Kenai River, is closed to fishing within 10 feet of the waterline in either direction.
The closure is in effect through Aug. 15.
The area closed is part of what is known as riparian bank habitats. Riparian banks are calm water zones that support rearing of fry. Marsh said that trout spend a considerable portion of their lives in such areas and that salmon spend one to three years developing near the banks.
Marsh said that the habitat is not impacted from people fishing in the water. He said damage occurs when people are entering and exiting the river.
"If people can go immediately to the water, and if they'd travel back and forth in the water, they won't harm the habitat. It's when people stand on the bank fishing that they trample the vegetation."
Marsh said he is as vexed as anyone else by the problem.
"It's a conundrum. I like to fish out there myself. It's a thoroughly enjoyable activity."
Marsh said he can sympathize with anglers because there are too few places which offer bank-friendly river access.
However, Marsh said the dilemma is no excuse for walking off the beaten path.
"I was down there yesterday( Friday), and they were not respecting the area. There was already a network of trails. It looked like water buffalo had been there."
Marsh said multiple organizations are beginning to recognize the problem of shoreline erosion, and, incrementally, resource agencies are developing controlled access to the water.
"We don't have developed and dedicated access for most of these locations along the river. If we had the money and oversight we could minimize the impact."
Marsh said the new markers are easy to spot and that anglers should have no question as to which area is off limits.
"They are most readily identifiable," he said. "And the area is just a 30-foot stretch."

watchdog 0.8.0
Filesystem events monitoring
Latest Version: 0.8.3Watchdog
Python API and shell utilities to monitor file system events.
Example API Usage
A simple program that uses watchdog to monitor directories specified
as command-line arguments and logs events generated:
.. code-block:: python
import sys
import time
import logging
from watchdog.observers import Observer
from watchdog.events import LoggingEventHandler
if __name__ == "__main__":
format='%(asctime)s - %(message)s',
datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
path = sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else '.'
event_handler = LoggingEventHandler()
observer = Observer()
observer.schedule(event_handler, path, recursive=True)
while True:
except KeyboardInterrupt:
Shell Utilities
Watchdog comes with a utility script called ``watchmedo``.
Please type ``watchmedo --help`` at the shell prompt to
know more about this tool.
Here is how you can log the current directory recursively
for events related only to ``*.py`` and ``*.txt`` files while
ignoring all directory events:
.. code-block:: bash
watchmedo log \
--patterns="*.py;*.txt" \
--ignore-directories \
--recursive \
You can use the ``shell-command`` subcommand to execute shell commands in
response to events:
.. code-block:: bash
watchmedo shell-command \
--patterns="*.py;*.txt" \
--recursive \
--command='echo "${watch_src_path}"' \
Please see the help information for these commands by typing:
.. code-block:: bash
watchmedo [command] --help
About ``watchmedo`` Tricks
``watchmedo`` can read ``tricks.yaml`` files and execute tricks within them in
response to file system events. Tricks are actually event handlers that
subclass ``watchdog.tricks.Trick`` and are written by plugin authors. Trick
classes are augmented with a few additional features that regular event handlers
don't need.
An example ``tricks.yaml`` file:
.. code-block:: yaml
- watchdog.tricks.LoggerTrick:
patterns: ["*.py", "*.js"]
- watchmedo_webtricks.GoogleClosureTrick:
patterns: ['*.js']
hash_names: true
mappings_format: json # json|yaml|python
mappings_module: app/javascript_mappings
suffix: .min.js
compilation_level: advanced # simple|advanced
source_directory: app/static/js/
destination_directory: app/public/js/
- app/static/js/vendor/jquery*.js
- app/static/js/base.js
- app/static/js/index-page.js
- app/static/js/vendor/jquery*.js
- app/static/js/base.js
- app/static/js/about-page/**/*.js
The directory containing the ``tricks.yaml`` file will be monitored. Each trick
class is initialized with its corresponding keys in the ``tricks.yaml`` file as
arguments and events are fed to an instance of this class as they arrive.
Tricks will be included in the 0.5.0 release. I need community input about them.
Please file enhancement requests at the `issue tracker`_.
Installing from PyPI using ``pip``:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install watchdog
Installing from PyPI using ``easy_install``:
.. code-block:: bash
$ easy_install watchdog
Installing from source:
.. code-block:: bash
$ python setup.py install
Installation Caveats
The ``watchmedo`` script depends on PyYAML_ which links with LibYAML_,
which brings a performance boost to the PyYAML parser. However, installing
LibYAML_ is optional but recommended. On Mac OS X, you can use homebrew_
to install LibYAML:
.. code-block:: bash
$ brew install libyaml
On Linux, use your favorite package manager to install LibYAML. Here's how you
do it on Ubuntu:
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo aptitude install libyaml-dev
On Windows, please install PyYAML_ using the binaries they provide.
You can browse the latest release documentation_ online.
Fork the `repository`_ on GitHub and send a pull request, or file an issue
ticket at the `issue tracker`_. For general help and questions use the official
`mailing list`_ or ask on `stackoverflow`_ with tag `python-watchdog`.
Supported Platforms
* Linux 2.6 (inotify)
* Mac OS X (FSEvents, kqueue)
* FreeBSD/BSD (kqueue)
* Windows (ReadDirectoryChangesW with I/O completion ports;
ReadDirectoryChangesW worker threads)
* OS-independent (polling the disk for directory snapshots and comparing them
periodically; slow and not recommended)
Note that when using watchdog with kqueue, you need the
number of file descriptors allowed to be opened by programs
running on your system to be increased to more than the
number of files that you will be monitoring. The easiest way
to do that is to edit your ``~/.profile`` file and add
a line similar to::
ulimit -n 1024
This is an inherent problem with kqueue because it uses
file descriptors to monitor files. That plus the enormous
amount of bookkeeping that watchdog needs to do in order
to monitor file descriptors just makes this a painful way
to monitor files and directories. In essence, kqueue is
not a very scalable way to monitor a deeply nested
directory of files and directories with a large number of
About using watchdog with editors like Vim
Vim does not modify files unless directed to do so.
It creates backup files and then swaps them in to replace
the files you are editing on the disk. This means that
if you use Vim to edit your files, the on-modified events
for those files will not be triggered by watchdog.
You may need to configure Vim to appropriately to disable
this feature.
1. Python 2.6 or above.
2. pathtools_
3. select_backport_ (select.kqueue replacement for 2.6 on BSD/Mac OS X)
4. XCode_ (only on Mac OS X)
5. PyYAML_ (only for ``watchmedo`` script)
6. argh_ (only for ``watchmedo`` script)

BTS With Ta-Ku & Anthony Lister For G-Star RAW
Art bros.
Street artiste Anthony Lister and producer/photographer Ta-ku have teamed up to make some art for G-Star RAW. With Anthony doing some DIY with a spray can, Ta-ku documenting the process, and some professionally good-looking gals wearing G-Star's iconic Elwood jeans, it's a winning trifecta that you can get a sneak peek of above.
We caught up with Ta-ku to find out more about the RAW collaboration, plus career goals, life goals and loving Kobe Bryant.
Amrita Hepi: You've collaborated with Wafia, Willow Smith and now G-Star. What makes for a good collaboration?
Ta-ku: I think the reason why I like collaboration so much is that it's a chance to network and work with people who are like-minded — people that want to create something with you, which is pretty special. So I think a good collaboration is when it's between people who think the same but are willing to compromise for each other — not in a confronting way, but willing to work with each other to get something done.
So you're always contributing with an offer or new elements?
Yeah, it's a learning process — if you're not learning something new in the collaboration process, it's not that it's void or that it doesn't have any merit, but I definitely feel like most collaborations that are good and have substance are the ones where both parties are learning from each other.
You work across different mediums as an artist — how do they influence each other?
I think all of my endeavours and collaborations are an extension of me, and the person I strive to be.
And who is the person that you want to be?
I was thinking about this the other day. Wafia sent me a message saying — and this sounds like I'm tooting my own horn, but I'm not [laughs] — she said I was a gracious collaborator, and when I first heard it I was like, "Oh that's nice," but I was thinking about it later that night and I got really emotional because all my life I've just wanted to help others, whilst helping myself. And I think that when you work with others, it's not to get ahead, that's never been my objective — it's been to create friends and networks and for all of us to move forward and that doesn't always necessarily mean up. It's never been about scaling to new heights of fame, it's just been about progressing as a human, and moving together towards a similar objective and creating quality work.
You've been described as a Renaissance man — is this true?
I had to Google that the first time someone said this to me — because I thought it meant being chivalrous or a gentleman, but it doesn't. I guess it makes me cringe a little because I feel that I just like to do a lot of stuff ever since I quit my nine to five, and I never wanna go back to that. So if I have room to do things, then I feel like I should. I piggyback everything off the Ta-ku platform, so I'm just fortunate I can do that and people can see it and like it or hate it.
What or who would you consider to be iconic?
The person who I admire the most — besides my Mum [laughs] —is Kobe Bryant 'cause I'm a big basketball nerd. I'm a big believer in God, so that is iconic definitely.
And how has this collaboration with G-Star been?
It's been great! Everyone has been really open and have been great in allowing me to be free in the what we wanna do and how we want to shoot. I think that's the first step in a really great collaboration, where there's that open communication and exchange of ideas. That's true collaboration.
The exhibition opens at 7pm on Thursday, 31st of March at China Heights in Surry Hills.

Bolt edges Powell in Oslo thriller
Usain Bolt will travel back to Jamaica for Olympic trials on the back of a nail-biting victory over compatriot Asafa Powell in the 100m at the Oslo Diamond League meet on Thursday.
The 25-year-old reigning double Olympic sprint champion , Usain Bolt, left it late in the race to reel in Powell, the former world record holder.
Teeth gritted and long legs pumping, Bolt screamed through the finish line in 9.79 seconds, Powell notching up his 77th sub-10sec 100m in 9.85sec but also left wondering what he has to do to improve on his 11-1 losing record against Bolt.
"I really enjoyed it!" beamed Bolt. "My execution was alright. I'm going home now to top things up.
"I'll look to go fast and look forward to the trials."
The race was delayed after Briton Mark Lewis-Francis false started in lane one.
But Bolt kept his nerve to produce a reasonable start, but was left trailing Powell over the first 60 metres.
It was then that Bolt pushed his huge frame through his drive phase and claimed the victory.
The performance followed his 9.76sec outing in Rome last week in warmer weather, which came after a minor blip, albeit a winning one, of 10.04sec in a cold and blustery Ostrava.
As introductions were made on the stadium big screen, Bolt danced and generally acted up for the benefit of a capacity crowd at the Bislett Stadium.
When the screams and whistles died down, Bolt, wearing bright white spikes and loose blue singlet and shorts, settled in his blocks after crossing himself, looking skywards and winking as the television zoomed in and his picture was broadcast on the big stadium screen.
The Jamaican revolutionised sprinting, and indeed athletics, four years ago in Beijing, setting world records when winning the 100 and 200m titles, and also starring in a record-breaking Jamaican quartet in the 4x100m relay.
He left the Chinese capital as one of the most recognisable figures in world sport, unbelievably going on to beat both his individual sprint marks with new times (9.58 and 19.19sec) in the Berlin worlds in 2009.
Bolt lost his world 100m title in Daegu, South Korea, last July to compatriot Yohann Blake after sensationally false starting in the final.
But with track and field set to again take centre stage at this summer's London Olympics, the world's largest sporting event, Bolt will now head back to Jamaica for trials and a serious eye on what he can do in the British capital.

Bad news may be developing for Kodak, a name synonymous with the birth of photography. The Eastman Kodak Co. may be preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection if it cannot make some much-needed profit off of sales of some of its digital patents, reports The Wall Street Journal.
The 131-year-old company has hit a rough patch since its days as an industry titan and the headquarters of breakthrough photographic technology. Unable to find a viable replacement to its film business, Kodak has been unable to maintain the same level of financial stability to support its empire.
Sources say a Chapter 11 filing may come as soon as this month or as early as February. Under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, companies are given the opportunity to restructure their business in order to become profitable again while keeping creditors at bay during the process.
Those creditors may include retirees, who Kodak is currently required to cover pension and health-care costs, according to The Journal.
If it cannot sell more than 1,100 of its patents, Kodak will reportedly try to sell them through a bankruptcy auction supervised by a U.S. bankruptcy court.
News of Kodak's potential Chapter 11 filing follows a string of corporations that have not been able to transition smoothly to changes in technology. These include Borders Group Inc., which liquidated itself after falling to digital reading, and Blockbuster Inc., which could not keep up with online video rentals and internet video streaming.
Many say the company's obsession and "thrall of its own brand" led to its demise, focusing on its old "brownie" cameras and Kodachrome film while digital photography began to dominate the market, according to The Washington Post.

At Microsoft's Mix08 event in Las Vegas, chief executive Steve Ballmer did a Q&A live on stage with MacBook Air-toting entrepreneur, blogger and former Apple evangelist Guy Kawasaki. There's about an hour of it if you want to watch the video. A much quicker approach would be to scan the Seattle Times report, Microsoft's Ballmer dances, jokes and tackles all the subjects in onstage interview. The paper also has Extended coverage of some parts of the talk.
Ballmer seemed to stick pretty close to the PR line, but louder and larger than life, as usual.

[Guest Post from Byron Kidd]
I've always loved a garden with a fish pond, right from when I was a child. But as it turns out you don't even need a garden in order to have your very on fish pond as is demonstrated by the simple container water garden my daughters and I are establishing on our 4th floor balcony.
As the larger ceramic pots can be quite expensive, and we had to get ours home by bicycle, we settled on a pot with a radius of roughly 50cm. Before adding the potted water lilly we lined the bottom of the pot with pebbles from our aquarium purely for effect. Now that the water lilly is slightly more established I'd like to add some floating plants such as water lettuce.
Once the pot had been standing for a couple of days we transferred our last remaining goldfish from the indoor aquarium to the water garden on our balcony, that was almost 2 months ago, and he is still going strong. Just a few days ago I witnessed our once domesticated goldfish rise up from the deep and devour a small insect that was struggling on the surface of the water. I have read that goldfish and medaka will eat any mosquito eggs that may end up in your water garden too. If your water garden is at ground level don't be surprised if you find tadpoles in there one morning, even if you do live in the suburbs of Tokyo!
So if you want to try gardening with a difference but are pushed for space I'd highly recommend the rewarding experience of establishing a water garden complete with wildlife.
