- Mawrth Vallis Mars MRO HiRISE
- Description
Another HiRISE observation centered on a patch of the western bank of the Mawrth Vallis channel on Mars. The area is located just between the main channel and the almost 100 km wide Oyama (former Viking mission participant and PI of the Viking GEx life detection experiment) crater to the west.
Illumination is roughly from the right - south is up
Original jp2 (jpeg2000) source (synthetic RGB not map projected) has been enlarged, sharpened and white balanced (including some reduction of the HiRISE synthetic blue channel).
Source: Possible MSL Landing Site Mawrth Vallis - hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/PSP_010882_2040
It really is a pity this area has not been chosen for MSL!
Added a Google Earth object (car ferry) for scale at the upper left and lower right of the image strip.

Virtual hostnames with Debian and dhcp
At $dayjob we have a large number of Linux Virtual Machines runnining on Hyper-V.
Most of these run Scientific Linux / Scientific Linux CERN, but we have a requirement to run debian hosts too.
Some observations that may help others:
Linux Integration Components
Even the latest MS ones (3.4 at last count) don't support debian / ubuntu. Hoever if you're running squeeze (6.0.x) then there's a 3.2 backport kernel available in debian backports that seems to work fine
Templates / DHCP hostnames
I noticed that our debian template host wasn't setting the hostname (assigned via dhcp) so using the example at http://nullcore.wordpress.com/2011/12/09/setting-the-system-hostname-from-dhcp-in-ubuntu-11-10/ I worked on a similar script that doesn't end up with a trailing period in the FQDN and appends to /etc/hosts if needed
# Filename: /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/hostname
# Purpose: Used by dhclient-script to set the hostname of the system
# to match the DNS information for the host as provided by
# Based on http://nullcore.wordpress.com/2011/12/09/setting-the-system-hostname-from-dhcp-in-ubuntu-11-10/
# Do not update hostname for virtual machine IP assignments
if [ "$interface" != "eth0" ]
if [ "$reason" != BOUND ] && [ "$reason" != RENEW ] \
&& [ "$reason" != REBIND ] && [ "$reason" != REBOOT ]
#echo dhclient-exit-hooks.d/hostname: Dynamic Hostname = $hostname
#echo dhclient-exit-hooks.d/hostname: Dynamic IP address = $new_ip_address
echo $hostname > /etc/hostname
# and append to hosts
grep -q $hostname /etc/hosts
if [ $? -eq 1 ] ; then
echo "$new_ip_address $hostname $new_host_name" >> /etc/hosts

Practically Speaking
Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
In Obama's own words, "I don't think we're ...able to eliminate employer coverage immediately..."
To us the President says, "You can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan. Nobody is talking about taking that away from you."
But check out this video piece I found on Drudge today: UNCOVERED VIDEO: OBAMA EXPLANAINS HOW HIS HEALTH CARE PLAN WILL 'ELIMINATE' PRIVATE INSURANCE I only just got my sound back on my computer so I could watch it. But in case you don't want to watch the clip, here are the quotes (as close as I could transcribe) from the video clips:
It opens with President Obama to the AMA in June of 2009: "The public option is not your enemy, it is your friend, I believe."
"Let me also address a illegitimate concern that is being put forward, by those who are claiming that a public option is somehow a Trojan horse for a single payer system."
Followed by Obama to the SEIU Health Care Forum in March of 2007: "My commitment is to make sure we got universal health care for all Americans by the end of my first term as president."
"I would hope that we set up a system that allows those who can't go through their employer to access a federal system or a state pool of some sort."
"But I don't think we are going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately, there's going to be potentially some transition process. I can envision a decade out, or 15 years out, or 20 years out."
Then it shows Obama addressing the AFL-CIO Civil, Human and Women's Rights Conference in 2003: "I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care plan. A
single payer, health care plan, Universal health care plan, that is what I would like to see."
July 27, 2009: Democrat Representative Barney Frank then expresses his support for single payer systems: "I think if we get a good public option it could lead to single payer and that is the best way to reach single payer."
May of 2009: Democrat Representative Jan Schakowsky then talks about how an insurance guy sitting next to her argued against the public insurance option, saying that it would put private insurance out of business because it wouldn't allow private insurance to compete. She then says to the crowd she was addressing, "He was right, the man was right!"*
Lastly, a clip of the President saying, "Nobody is talking about some government takeover of health care."
More reading and viewing:
The YouTube piece on Breibart came from NakedEmperorNews.com
*Hear the whole clip, which adds "I am so confident in the superiority of a public health care option that I think he has every reason to be frightened." Gateway Pundit: Rep. Jan Schakowski Lies to FOX Business Channel About Destroying the Private Insurance Industy
The Heritage Foundation: Barney Frank: Public Option is Best Way to Single Payer
HotAirPundit has an intersting set of video clips at the bottom of his post showing Pres. Obama claiming "I don't believe Government can or should run Health Care."

Dude who posted this on the IMDB boards said it was taken by a guy who works on the set. Someone might get fired over this .
Looks like someone else took a picture of this and posted it on Reddit and said they were shooting so this is legit so the boards, graffiti, busted garage door, and the house looking unkept and ugly is all intentional. Walt's in deep ****.
---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------
J, this.
Here's the street view:
If I wasn't a lazy douchebag, I guess it would have been easy. I wasn't overly interested, just somewhat curious. But now that I know, I'll probably drive by and check it out...
EDIT: And now that I've actually looked at the map, that's 10 or so blocks from my house. One of the dive bars Nina and I like to go to is right at that intersection. I'm definitely getting drunk and wandering there sometime soon...

- Description
A large, tornadic thunderstorm fired up about 50 miles west of Hays, KS around noon today. By the time I got out to shoot this GigaPan it had developed quite a huge anvil cloud and was northwest of town and headed towards Nebraska. If you compare the wheat in this field with the one I shot yesterday (www.gigapan.org/gigapans/79940/) you'll note that this field is somewhat darker in color because it's a red wheat. The breeze was blowing from the south and fairly gusty, so rather than go for detail I backed off and shot a smaller image. -- Ron Schott

Bah! I had to reinstall my workstation today -- what a pain. So I didn't get much work done. I did go to the little mini-class on "code dropping". It surprised me a bit -- apparently IBM is still using quite old technology. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." They are, however, finally re-evaluating their software design strategy. I've arrived at a good time, apparently. I talked with the main guy for design process, and he was quite receptive to my ideas. :) :)
Meanwhile, life goes on. I might actually be going to a summer camp in August. I need to remember to ask my boss about it though. I forgot to ask him today. I'm sure it won't be a problem, but you can't be too careful.
I also found out that I don't get my first paycheck until 3/14. *sigh* Money is evil, I swear it.

Mary Harris Francis collected toys. Barbara Hall Marshall fancied fine miniatures. These two women's distinctly different collections are the backbone of Kansas City's Toy & Miniature Museum at 52nd & Oak. All year round, its 33,000 square feet of displays lure the young and young at heart. Sometimes the museum, as it will this weekend with its Nettie Wells dollhouse, finds special ways to celebrate a child's imagination and the spirit of play.
Nettie Wells, as portrayed by Maycee Steele, will share stories of her dollhouse at the Toy & Miniature Museum this Saturday with another performance later this summer.

Culver Target had TF Prime Voyager Bulkhead and Starscream, I passed again. They want $32 now for SW vehicles!!! This is not a good sign. Same Target had GI Joe movie figures and vehicles.
Culver TRU had jack, La Cienega Target was in the same boat.
Seeing the GI Joe movie basics for the first time, I don't see any retracted articulation on the 5 they had - SE, SS, Duke, Roadblock, and Cobra (para)Trooper - it looked like SOP for modern Joes except I think some had swivel wrists while others had universal-wrists but no ankles, which in my book is an acceptable tradeoff. $10 for a Joe figure is not though.

Mid-mornings have been good to me, especially when the hens are heading off to the nest. Hunting at flydown can be fun, but turkeys don't always head your direction, then you have to get out in front of them. I prefer to be set up in an area turkeys like to travel through where it is easier to get them to respond to calling from.
Give me mid-day, mid-week, mid-season & I'm good.

|DUNE, the Distributed and Unified Numerics … DUNE, the Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment is a modular toolbox for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) with grid-based methods. It supports the easy implementation of methods like Finite Elements (FE), Finite Volumes (FV), and also Finite Differences (FD). DUNE is free software licensed under the GPL (version 2) with a so called "runtime exception" (see license). This licence is similar to the one under which the libstdc++ libraries are distributed. Thus it is possible to use DUNE even in proprietary software. The underlying idea of DUNE is to create slim interfaces allowing an efficient use of legacy and/or new libraries. Modern C++ programming techniques enable very different implementations of the same concept (i.e. grids, solvers, ...) using a common interface at a very low overhead. Thus DUNE ensures efficiency in scientific computations and supports high-performance computing applications. DUNE is based on the following main principles: * Separation of data structures and algorithms by abstract interfaces.- This provides more functionality with less code and also ensures maintainability and extendability of the framework. * Efficient implementation of these interfaces using generic programming techniques. * Static polymorphism allows the compiler to do more optimizations, in particular function inlining, which in turn allows the interface to have very small functions (implemented by one or few machine instructions) without a severe performance penalty. In essence the algorithms are parametrized with a particular data structure and the interface is removed at compile time. Thus the resulting code is as efficient as if it would have been written for the special case. * Reuse of existing finite element packages with a large body of functionality.- In particular the finite element codes UG, ALBERTA, and ALUGrid have been adapted to the DUNE framework. Thus, parallel and adaptive meshes with multiple element types and refinement rules are available. All these packages can be linked together in one executable. * The framework consists of a number of modules which are downloadable as separate packages. The current core modules are: * dune-common- contains the basic classes used by all DUNE-modules. It provides some infrastructural classes for debugging and exception handling as well as a library to handle dense matrices and vectors. * dune-grid- is the most mature module. It defines nonconforming, hierarchically nested, multi-element-type, parallel grids in arbitrary space dimensions. Graphical output with several packages is available, e.g. file output to IBM data explorer and VTK (parallel XML format for unstructured grids). The graphics package Grape has been integrated in interactive mode. * dune-istl (Iterative Solver Template Library)- provides generic sparse matrix/vector classes and a variety of solvers based on these classes. A special feature is the use of templates to exploit the recursive block structure of finite element matrices at compile time. Available solvers include Krylov methods, (block-) incomplete decompositions and aggregation-based algebraic multigrid.and aggregation-based algebraic multigrid.

By Michael Aneiro
A good story by Charles Forelle in today's Wall Street Journal detailing how the central bank efforts to kick-start struggling European economies is having a tremendous effect: it's causing bond prices to soar. The part about kick-starting struggling economies isn't going nearly as well. That contrast between outsize market gains and lackluster economic reality sounds just a wee bit like the situation stateside. From Forelle:
In July 2012, Italian 10-year bonds yielded more than 6%; this week they fell below 4%. Falling yields mean rising prices. The Italian economy, meanwhile, has been ugly. Gross domestic product in the fourth quarter of 2012 slid 2.8% from the same period in 2011, the sharpest quarterly fall since 2009. Italian unemployment was 11.6% in February, up from 10.6% in July. The tale is similar in Spain….
Much of the [bond market] rally, say many market participants, can be attributed to the ECB's pledge last year to backstop euro-zone government-bond markets if they get into trouble, and to the flood of cheap money that has been poured in to economies by central banks around the world. That has prodded investors to buy assets they might otherwise have seen as too risky—precisely the point of the policy.
But the economic gloom has cast a long shadow over the rally…. Pacific Investment Management Co., home to the world's biggest bond fund, also is "lightening up" on holdings of Italian and Spanish bonds, Andrew Balls, its head of European portfolio management, said Wednesday. Pimco has "sold into the rally because we remain worried over the fundamentals in the euro zone," Mr. Balls said.

A HOUSEHOLD where woman reigns alone, freed from the dominion of her natural enemy; an entirely female establishment, leavened by no admixture of the masculine element, is a very dreary thing. So I found to my cost during that long, long week.
The man of a family may be, and often is, a very inferior animal to his woman‐kind; made of infinitely poorer, commoner clay; he may be a coarse, surly brute, all body and no soul worth speaking of, or a soul wrapped up and enfolded in swine and turnips, or in gray shirting, or brown sugars, or pill‐boxes and blisters. Even so, the sound of his heavy boots on the stairs, of his gruff, untuneful voice, mixes harmoniously and healthily with the women's noiseless, cat‐like footfalls and shrill treble pipes. Good is his unbeautiful face page: 246 at dinner; good are his dull anecdotes, that yet bring a whiff of the outer world with them; yea, good are his very hat and dreadnought in the hall.
Women's minds are apt to get narrowed, soured (the best women's have an undeveloped tendency that way), if they have not some male intellect to rub against, and be wholesomely jostled and buffered and sweetened by.
How dumb the old house seemed that week! I don't think Sir Adrian, Sir Guy, and Sir Fulke can be much dumber as they "lie in glory" under the chancel of Lestrange Church. Outside, the thrushes and blackbirds sang, the cocks crowed, the dogs barked, the ploughboys whistled, and I caught myself wishing earnestly that they would all come indoors, and make their pleasant noises in the hall, in the ghostly galleries, in any room or rooms they pleased, just to break the weary silence, the silence as of a house where a shrouded body lies coffined, a tenantless rigid clay image. Dolly sat through the long hours, motionless as a statue, tinted with life colours, like Vishnoo contem‐ contemplating page: 247 plating his own attributes and god gifts in the shining heart of the Swerga.
How rigidly must those early Eremites, those holy men who loved their souls so much, and soap and water so little—how rigidly, I say, must they have adhered to their Lenten fare; upon how few bitter herbs, upon what undiluted water must they have dieted themselves, if they did page: 248 really succeed in keeping all earthly imaginings away from those lichen‐curtained rock crevices where they were wont to stow their lean tormented bodies out of harm's way. To lock the door against those ideas, "earthly, sensual, devilish," that throng the portals of an empty soul, must have been even a harder job than the exclusion of the lizards, newts, and other "miscreated forms of life" that frequented those dank, agueish abodes.
My mind misgives me concerning those bearded, ragged, vermined saints, that their bald‐shaven pates enclosed thoughts as naughtily mundane, and as mundanely naughty as any of their helmeted and wigged coevals; that that hair cloth (stranger to the washing tub) covered hearts that beat to as worldly a tune as any devil's jig. Man's spirit is so essentially irreligious, so honestly God‐hating, that, leave it to itself for one minute, it turns its back upon its Maker; runs away from Him swifter than a jagged lightning flash, "anywhere, anywhere."
Iniquities, perhaps not! sins, perhaps not, according to the lax worldly interpretations of the term; but of silly, witless, profitless conceptions and whims I had a great store. There seemed to be nothing but feeding times to look forward to that week; from breakfast to dinner, from dinner to tea, we travelled sluggishly, with no emotion livelier than what the sight of minced collops or hasty pudding was calculated to call forth.
If one of the chimneys would but catch fire; if that unsafe garret, where the man hanged himself in Queen Anne's days, would but fall in; if even one of the dogs would but have a fit, or puppies, or anything; if anything would but happen! thought I. Something must happen before long; even if I myself had to pull the strings that set the machinery in motion. I began to have a morbid longing to do something startling, something that would break the gelid monotony of my existence. In my pretty vacant head—I can talk of its prettiness now without airs page: 251 of mock modesty; now, I say, when it is as much a thing of the past as Helen's or Aspasia's—I began to cast about what action at once extremely eccentric and extremely naughty I could perform.
Should I slay Dolly in some new and ingenious manners? should I practise some picturesque form of suicide? should I drown myself in the garden pool, and be found with my long red hair inextricably entangled among the duckweed? or should I choose some sequestered spot in which to "snip my carotid," and be discovered beautiful but gory, with an explanatory billet in my lily hand?
I was saved from the difficulties attendant upon the selection of either of these enticing endings by the occurrence of two small incidents which diverted my plannings and imaginings into other channels. The first incident regarded the butcher; the second, Sir Hugh Lancaster and "that other." The butcher may be dismissed paucis verbis. He came, he saw, whether he conquered or was conquered I am not very clear.
One morning I stood by the garden page: 252 pool, looking down rather ruefully at the duckweed, and hoping that it would not get up my eyes and nose and ears when I should commit myself to its shining breast in despairing yet becoming self‐slaughter, Dick having proved faithless, or having been killed in the wars. What wars, whether French, Kaffre, or Sikh, I had not decided; there being, at the time I write of, an equally remote probability of our picking a quarrel with either of those nations. Among onion beds and cabbages, and through the well‐sticked peas came Mrs. Smith in panting haste, and with woe in her eye.
"Oh, my dear, Miss Nelly, the butcher!" As the war‐horse is popularly supposed to snort at the trumpet blare, so snorted I that fear‐breeding name. "I've spent all the breath in my body trying to make him let it stand over till next week; them pigs oughter bring your pa in some money then; but he won't hear till it, he's in the room now (ellipse for housekeeper's room) stormin' shameful, that he is!" I picked up a stone and flopped it into the pond, making a hole page: 253 in the duckweed. "I've been to Miss Dolly, and tried to get her to go down to him; she's such a rare good 'un to palaver folks, she is! I thought she might make somethin' of 'im, but she did not seem to care nothin' about it. She said if he threaped the roof of the 'ouse off, it wasn't none of her business." I fished for a floating piece of becka bunga with a stick, coveting its small blue star flowers. "Put not your trust in princes," said I, gravely, that is, in Miss Dolly, who, if she isn't a princess, ought to be one.
"If I'd a known," said Mrs. Smith, expanding her fat hands to catch the pond breezes, "all I should ha' 'ad to put up with, along o' that man, I'd 'a seen him eating snails at Jericho, with a two pronged fork, afore I'd 'a let 'im inside our doors; they're the independentest lot about 'ere as ever I see, that they are; there ain't no doin' no good with them, nohow."
I let pass, without criticism, the redundancy of negatives in my house‐keeper's last clause. I was still immersed in hooking up wet lengths of water‐weed.page: 254
"And what the jouse," (sic) perorated Mrs. Smith, rising into sublimity, as she stretched a drab stuff arm to Heaven. "I am to say to that ould blaygaird, I know no more than the babe unborn."
My piscatory efforts were by this time crowned with success. I had tugged up great sprays of greenery, and now grasped them lovingly in my bare white hands, while they dripped abundantly over my dress.
"Pretty things," said I, invoking them inwardly; "are my eyes as blue as you, I wonder? I must ask Dick." Then aloud. "I know what to say to him, Mrs. Smith, though you and the unborn babe don't; and what's more, I will say it before I'm ten minutes older." Whereupon I left the pond, and the becka bunga, and the potherbs, and ascended lightly to the upper chamber, where I kept unrevealed to Dolly, to Mrs. Smith, or other living soul, poor Dick's bank‐notes. Armed with them, and with his bill, I repaired to the encounter with the "fat greasy kill‐cow," as Southey christens one of that fraternity. I entered the page: 255 "room," as Mrs. Smith called it—the room, par excellence—with my head up and my nose in the air. Oh for those fine old days when the fowls of the air built their nests in Justice's disused scales, when the Sieur Lestrange might take twenty lances and transfer as many fat kine as seemed good in his mind's eye from his lowborn neighbours' premises to his own.
Happy, happy days, when gentlefolks lived at ease and duns were not. So, in I stalked, with my chin superciliously elevated, and my money in my sack's mouth. There he sat, the vile roturier, red‐faced, vituperative, with a glass of beer beside him, which Mrs. Smith had given him as a peace‐offering. There he sat swilling our beer (that smallest, sourest of all malt liquors), and reviling us.
"I believe you want your bill paid," I said, haughtily, while Mrs. Smith gave my gown a great jerk of dismay at my lofty deportment, from behind.
"I rayther believe I do, miss," responded my creditor. "I've been a wantin', and a wantin', and a wantin' it page: 256 any time this last twelve munse, but it don't seem much good a wantin' hanything in this 'ouse."
I tossed down his bill, and four of my bank notes with it.
"Give me change, please," said I, superbly, "and be quick about it."
As I spoke, I think a feather might have floored the great man‐mountain before me. Two round eyes, stolid, unspeculative as his own oxen's, stared ever rounder and rounder at me; he did not move hand or foot.
"Be quick, please," I said again, very imperiously, and gave a little stamp. He escaped apoplexy by a near shave that time; after all, there was the money, and that was all that was his business, "though sewerly it was odd how them Lestranges managed to get hould on it." So he thrust a hand as big as a fillet of veal into his pocket, and counted out the change, and then, calling for a pen, scratched his receipt.
"Now," said I, with my eyes flashing in my triumph, and the Lestrange blood burning in my fair cheeks, "leave the page: 257 house this instant," and I waved my hand towards the door, "and never set foot within these doors again, do you hear? Go, this minute."
He was cramming his bill and his notes into his breeches pocket; then he prepared to obey me.
"I'm a‐goin', miss," said he, grinning; "don't you be a‐puttin' of yourself about; and I do hope as you'll find some one as 'ull serve you satisfactory, and bring you all the best jints, and not expect to get a farden for them neither, that I do. Good‐day to you, miss."
He was a low fellow, wasn't he? but I'm not sure that he had not the best of the argument.

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."
"The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says, but rather to what he does not say."
"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain."

While thrifting in San Francisco a few weeks ago, I stumbled across one of the all time great finds, a bespoke shirt from Charvet. I instantly knew from the delicate striped pattern that it was a wonderful shirt, which was solidified once I touched the silky soft cotton texture.
Unfortunately the next detail I noticed was that the shirt was way to big for me, it measured around 17 or 17 1/2, much to big for my tiny frame. I debated buying the shirt anyway and using the gorgeous material for another project, but ultimately decided that some husky stylish man would be as delighted as I was and could give this shirt a few more years of life.
Charvet was the world's first shirt shop, they began making bespoke shirts in 1838 and have been taking orders and measurements ever since. Charvet has made shirts for an impressive slate of clients from the Duke of Windsor to JFK.
The first visit to Charvet is measurement focused, before any fabrics are decided on, the right fit needs to be agreed upon. Between 18 and 25 measurements are taken, a poplin or muslin sample is prepared in 10 days. A second fitting with the sample garment will allow for final adjustments to be made to the master pattern.
When the pattern is finalized and the best fit is designed, it time to begin searching the 6,000+ fabric choices. Please don't just choose a white shirt, they carry over 400 different types of plain white. Charvet adds an additional 1,600 swatches per year, so the choices are seemingly infinite. Along with the fabric, choices on buttons, collars and cuffs must be made as well.
The Charvet difference is found in the details. The textile patterns on the cuffs match when rolled and linked, the pattern on the yoke matches the sleeve, the front and sleeve placket patterns always match the adjacent pattern, even the underside of the collar matches the top side.
The bespoke shirts offered at 28 place Vendôme cost about $1,300 a piece. They do offer some ready to wear shirts at American department stores for around $400, but going for the full custom may be the only real option at Charvet, that or picking one up at Goodwill for $5.95.
"As an intern at St. Vincent's Hospital in Greenwich Village some 54 years ago, I also was faced with the dilemma posed in Maureen Dowd's column: how to adhere to the dress code that required ties, and yet prevent that tie from becoming the transport vehicle of bacteria from patient to patient. My solution was simple, sartorially elegant and bacteriologically sound: I switched to bow ties and have worn them exclusively ever since. The bow tie should be the trademark of every physician."

Home>About Us>Press Room>2008 Press Releases>Impressionist Interiors
The exhibition brings together over 45 wonderful paintings and drawings by Manet, Monet, Renoir, Morisot, Degas, Cassatt, Gauguin and Pissarro, on loan from public and private collections throughout Europe and the United States of America. It is the first serious survey of this particular dimension of Impressionism, and will show some of the many and varied ways in which Impressionists and artists within their circle engaged with interior spaces both public and private, domestic and social.
Raymond Keaveney, Director of the National Gallery of Ireland, says: "Impressionist Interiors" is perhaps the most ambitious exhibition organised by the Gallery, which has been drawn from the very best examples of Impressionist interior paintings and drawings from among wonderful collections around the world. We are greatly indebted to those private lenders and public institutions who have generously allowed their works to be included in this exhibition."
The exhibition has been made possible through the support of KPMG; the European Commission Representation in Ireland who are supporting the opening reception in the Millennium Wing on Friday 9 May (Europe Day); and the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism who have supported the production of the accompanying catalogue.
Terence O'Rourke, Managing Partner at KPMG, says: "In keeping with our commitment to the arts, KPMG is genuinely proud to play a role in supporting such an exciting project and to help make this exhibition possible. We hope that visitors will enjoy Impressionist Interiors."
Impressionist Interiors features twelve paintings and pastels by Edgar Degas, among them; 'Portraits in a Cotton Office' (Museum of Fine Arts, Pau), 'The Convalescent' (J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles); 'After the Bath' (Philadelphia Museum of Art) and 'Café Concert at Les Ambassadeurs' (Museum of Fine Arts, Lyon). There are also some fine examples by Paul Gauguin who often brought the outside world into his symbolist interiors by incorporating details such as floral arrangements or wallpapers decorated with birds and plants, and who is represented in this show with 'The Painter's Home, rue Carcel' (National Museum, Oslo), 'Nude Study/ Woman Sewing' (Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen), and 'The Little Dreamer' (Odrupgaard, Copenhagen).
Janet McLean, curator of the exhibition and editor of the accompanying catalogue says: "Artists associated with Impressionism did not just aspire to be painters of light and air but aimed to be modern artists and thereby painters of modern life."
Édouard Manet, like Edgar Degas was essentially a painter of the modern interior. He said to Berthe Morisot: "you can do plein-air painting indoors, by painting white in the morning, lilac during the day and orange-toned in the evening". Manet's oil studies of 'A Bar at the Folies-Beregère' and 'The Ball at the Opéra' (Private Collection), are included in this exhibition, as well as 'Interior at Arcachon' (Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Massachusetts).
The exhibition includes a number of works by well-known women artists associated with Impressionism; Berthe Morisot, 'The Artist's Sister at a Window', (National Gallery of Art, Washington); 'Eugène Manet on the Isle of Wight' (Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris) and Mary Cassatt, 'Lydia at a Tapestry Frame' (Collection of the Flint Institute of Arts, Flint, Michigan). Also featured are Camille Pissarro, 'Minette' (Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art); Claude Monet, 'Interior, after Dinner' (National Gallery of Art, Washington) as well works by Pierre Bonnard and Edouard Vuillard.
Also featured are some lesser-known artists who engaged with interior views, among them; Zacharie Astruc, Henri Gervex, Frédéric Bazille and Federico Zandomeneghi.
The exhibition will be officially opened at a gala reception in the Millennium Wing on Friday 9th May, to mark Europe Day 2008.
Martin Territt, Director of the European Representation in Ireland, says: "The European Commission Representation in Ireland is delighted to be associated with this very significant exhibition. The Impressionist tradition is an important part of our common European cultural heritage, yet it found its own unique expression in every country. It is fitting that we can mark Europe Day in such a way. The Impressionists have a special place in people's hearts across Europe and I am delighted to be part of bringing these beautiful works to the Irish public."

ah, my first diary entry. this seems very redundant to post stuff here while i just finished a php diary at adraken.themes.org.
hmm, this is odd, advogato seems to allow people to certify themselves. well, i just certified myself as apprentice. woop.
attempted a few more logo prototypes for themes.org.. argh, i want to get rid of that old logo.
well, since it looks like the themes.org staff has been whittled away of most pseudo artists, if anyone is interested in volunteering for themes.org on an artistic basis, mail me.

Air Traffic Control for the Ocean
Posted On November 16, 2012 by Susan Olcott
At a given time, our air is filled with thousands of planes intersecting each other's flight paths in a coordinated fashion. The same is true for our ocean and its industries – and a new map shows just that. The New England Ocean Action Network (NEOAN), a group of organizations supportive of ocean planning, created the map to illustrate just how many different activities occur in the ocean – ferry routes, shipping lanes, sanctuary boundaries, fishing grounds, whale habitat and proposed wind energy areas, to name a few. Imagine trying to coordinate these uses so that they don't all end up on top of each other or harm to the ecosystem on which they depend.
This coordination is one of the goals of the National Ocean Policy. Each of nine regions around the country will establish a Regional Planning Body (RPB), comprised of representatives from state and federal agencies, tribal members and the regional fishery management council. These regional groups will be guided by local stakeholders and the public and will work to create a plan to guide the various uses of the oceans for its member states. The New England RPB will be holding its first meeting next week – the first official meeting of any around the country – to begin the creation of a plan for its coasts and oceans.

We have visited LittleBank guest house in Rathmell (close to Settle) on three occasions now. Set in the Yorkshire Dales, the house retains features from the 1600's and is set in a stunning location. Like any first visit you are a little apprehensive, however from the moment we pulled into the drive we knew we had made the right decision. Richard and Trish are superb hosts; friendly, chatty, knowledgeable and will go out of their way to cater for your every need during your stay.The rooms are roomy and tastefully decorated and it certainly deserves it high star rating. It is always a pleasure to return to Littlebank.

I just enjoyed my first visit to The Royal Parade Apartments in Harrogate, the 3 of these serviced apartments are absolutely stunning. It really is like having a home away from home, except for one thing - they are the essence of pure luxury. There are 3 apartments, each one individually styled. Seriously worth taking a look at the website if you are planning a trip to North Yorkshire. Exquisite is the only word (http://www.royalparade.co.uk/apartment-hotel-harrogate.html)

For comfort and a little luxury, without being ostentatious, try the White Swan at Pickering. We stayed there last year and thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality and the fabulous food. For self catering cottage, you can't beat the Beech Farm Cottages at Wrelton, near Pickering - fully equipped, comfortable, plenty parking, great pool... we have been going there for about 16 years now and delighted to report that the next generation in the shape of our number 1 son is there at the moment!

It's Yew Tree Cottage for us which is located in Westow. A luxury self catering cottage in the perfect location as it's close to York, the North York Moors, Castle Howard and Kirkham Priory. A really tranquil village and the cottage had everything you could imagine from well equipped kitchen, Wood for the fire and even caters for kids. Www.yewtreecottagewestow.co.UK

I have recently been to stay in North Yorkshire, and found a completely idilllic B&B near Ripon to spend my weekend. It was wonderfully tranquil, beautiful rooms and I couldn't have had a better weekend! Definitely recommend it and can't wait to go back up to Yorkshire.

I've moved my diary to use Perl.
I've moved my diary to use Perl.
Uploaded Inline::Awk to CPAN. This allows you to add awk code to a perl program:
#!/usr/bin/perl use Inline AWK; $num = 5; $str = 'ciao'; print square($num), "\n"; print echo($str), "\n"; print "Now, back to our normal program.\n" __END__ __AWK__ function square(num) { return num * num } function echo(str) { return str " " str }
Whether or not anyone in their right mind would want to do this is open to debate. :-)
First we take Manhattan
Berlin for the next three weeks.
It's hard to find time to write code and write about writing
Version 0.34 of Spreadsheet::WriteExcel took a lot of work due to the addition of a module of helper functions and the implementation of images in Excel. However, it clears the way for work on the Excel 97+ format which is now the dominant theme of feature request emails.
I also set up a project page at Freshmeat. This was mainly to provide an announcement service for people interested in new releases of the module. A lot of people subscribed to the project. It is nice to get this kind of feedback.
The Perl Journal is back on-line and so is the article that I wrote last year about Spreadsheet::WriteExcel.
I attended YAPC::Europe in Amsterdam in August. In the absence of any other event this functions as the European Perl Conference. It was very well organised and I met nice people.
The best talks that I attended were Mail::Box by Mark Overmeer and Mutagenic modules by Robin Houston. Michael Schwern's talks were also very good as was his idea for CPANTS.
The lack of preparation of some of the speakers was disheartening. Although YAPC is a grass-roots event I felt that some people were too lackadaisical.
I also felt that there were too many joke modules and in-jokes. Perl has a light hearted feel about it but jokes can wear thin. London.pm has to take some responsibility for this. It seems to have detached into an alternative reality, perhaps even one where Perl doesn't exist. :-)
Unfortunately, I am also responsible for a joke module: Inline::PERL.
Partially as an atonement for this I decided to resurrect my
original idea for Inline::AWK. I discussed this at YAPC with
Brian Ingerson, the author of Inline,
and posted the initial release
to the Inline mailing list.
Since then I've refined the module and built a test framework based on all of the code from The AWK Programming Language. I still need to do a bit more work with it before I take it back to the mailing list and then to CPAN.
Where I come from every young boy dreams of one day writing an awk compiler. :-)
Version 0.32 of Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
was released on May 18th with new features to allow setup
of the printed page. Features such as page orientation,
paper type, headers and footers. These had been the most
requested features for a long time but I had managed to get
bogged down in the implementation of Excel's formulas and
functions. The formula module burned me out a little and it
took a long time to add the relatively simpler page set-up
options. In order to get it finished I had to stop reading
and PerlMonks and I
had to stop playing Golf.
I also had to stop reading module related email at the beginning of my working night when a stray problem might divert me from coding. This meant that my end of the night email responses were pithier but it did increase my productivity.
I also released Acme::Inline::PERL at Brian Ingerson's request.
Inline::PERL: Bring the power of PERL programming to your Perl programs. ;-)
Life (and how to live it)
Two weeks holidays in Italy from tomorrow. Non vedo l'ora.
I released version 0.31 of Spreadsheet::WriteExcel on April 12th.
This release fixes the show-staller bug and implements other important functionality.
This is what ActiveState had to say about the module "Writes into Excel spreadsheet files. Somewhat limited, but fairly valuable." I guess that this is an example of damning somebody with faint praise.
As part of the testing I had to verify each of the 225 Excel functions. This took one week of something close to drudgery. Programming shouldn't be drudgery for two reasons. The first reason is that if you have to do a mundane repetitive task then you should be able to write a program to help you. The second reason is that if programming becomes a drudge then you should be doing something else.
As for the first reason: I did write several small programs to help with the testing but the cross checking still required an unavoidable amount of manual effort. I think that the avoidance of a certain type of hard work is what defines me as a programmer. In much the same way Perl espouses laziness as a virtue: "Laziness: The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure. It makes you write labor-saving programs that other people will find useful, and document what you wrote so you don't have to answer so many question about it."
As for the second reason: Eric Steven Raymond puts this better in How to Become a Hacker.
I have been adding support to Spreadsheet::WriteExcel for Excel's function names in other European languages.
The longest function name is in French, LOI.NORMALE.STANDARD.INVERSE (29 chars), followed by Finnish,
NORM.JAKAUMA.NORMIT.KÄÄNT (25 chars). The shortest function name in all languages is T.
Here is the same function name in nine languages: TIME, ZEIT, TEMPS, NSHORA, TEMPO, TIJD, AIKA, ORARIO, KLOCKSLAG.
Waylaid myself in an implementation of Excel's comments. Represented by a small red triangle in the upper right hand corner of the cell. Which way does madness lie? This way.
Version 0.30 of Spreadsheet::WriteExcel was released on time. It now includes the facility to write formulas and functions. Despite the fact that this had been one of the most requested features I received only one email in relation to it. A bug report.
The author of the email said that with the inclusion of formulas the module had gone from interesting to useful. A fair observation.
Life (and how to live it)
Blood Simple was on T.V. The Coen brothers first feature. It doesn't contain the humourous undertone of their later films. I haven't seen it in a number of year. It is still really good.
I am updating the documentation in preparation for version 0.30 which will include access to formulas and functions. The target release date is the 28th of February.
The documentation, testing and distro preparation take at least half the development time of each new release.
Work (the most important thing is)
Went to the UK for a course on VoIP. "All your IP traffics are belong to us."
If it had been a week later I could have made it to London.pm to hear Damian Conway's talk.
Life (and how to live it)
Spent an evening in Oxford. The colleges were already closed. It is a nice town. Not as pretty as Urbino but more realistic. Ate a pizza at Quod.
Received a report of a subtle bug. The format string
'00000' should pad leading zeros to a zip code in
Excel but nothing was happening. It turned out that
was matching as a number and evaluating to zero. Nice.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Each week, I'll highlight the best performing emerging-markets single country exchange-traded funds, using the most heavily traded for each nation. Frontier markets are not included–yet.
All good things must come to an end.
After three weeks of gains, the the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) finished down 0.3% at $43.42. And if we're parsing blame, I'd have to cite drop in commodity prices as the proximate cause.
Gold dropped 5% this week, oil dipped 0.02% and copper fell 1%. And that aligns perfectly with the week's three losers: the iShares MSCI All Peru Capped Index ETF (EPU), which plunged 5.6%; the iShares MSCI Chile Investable Market Index ETF (ECH), which fell 3.6%; and the Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX), which dropped 2.5%.
But we're here to talk about the winners, of which there were a few, if only a few. What sets them apart appears nothing but the fact that they aren't commodity producers, with a few idiosyncratic twists thrown in for good measure.
#1 The iShares MSCI Poland Investable Market ETF (EPOL): +1.5%
Here's something you don't see every day–Poland at the top of the rankings. Poland's consumer-price index rose just 0.8% in April from a year ago, the slowest rate since June 2006, according to Bloomberg. Can anyone say "rate cut?" The iShares MSCI Poland Investable Market ETF has fallen 11.4% in 2013.
#2 The WisdomTree India Earnings ETF (EPI): +1.2%
India's wholesale-price index rose just 4.89% from a year ago, well below economist forecasts for 5.45%. The slower inflation has increased speculation that the Reserve Bank of India will cut interest rates next month. The WisdomTree India Earnings ETF has now dropped 1.2% this year.
#3 The Market Vectors Colombia ETF (COLX): +1%
Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos hinted that he would seek reelection, a move that could continue policies that have help stabilized the Latin American nation. The Market Vectors Colombia ETF has fallen 10.5% so far this year.
#4 The iShares MSCI Turkey Investable Market Index ETF (TUR): +0.5%
Turkey's central bank cut interest rates, while the nation's credit rating was hiked by Moody's Investors Service. The iShares MSCI Turkey Investable Market Index ETF has gained 14% in 2013.
#5 The iShares MSCI Indonesia Investable Market Index ETF (EIDO): +0.4%
Indonesia's central bank kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged, while its president prepared to hike fuel prices. The iShares MSCI Indonesia Investable Market Index ETF has gained 17.8% so far this year.

Yamaha DX7S / DX7IID / DX7IIFD
The DX7, a classic FM synth, gets a make-over with three significant updates. The updated models feature a more sturdy chassis with actual push-buttons replacing the cheaper and less reliable membrane buttons of the original DX7. The two real time sliders (that allow for control of user-programmable parameters in real time) are larger than before. Internally, the biggest improvement is the updated 16-bit digital circuitry for cleaner and much less noisy sound quality. Patch memory has also been doubled from 32 to 64 voices. Additional general improvements include enhanced MIDI support, micro-tuning capabilities, aftertouch controlled pitch bending, and multiple LFOs.
The DX7IID and DX7IIFD (pictured) models also added bi-timbrality with keyboard split and layering capabilities. This allows two voices to be layered in dual mode, providing very rich combinations of sounds that would otherwise be impossible with the original DX7. Voices could also be split across the keyboard, for a two part multi-timbral performance capability; again, impossible with the original DX7 (or the DX7S, as the S stands for single timbre).
The DX7IIFD added a Floppy Drive (that's what the FD stands for) offering one megabyte of memory space (equal to 40 RAM cartridges) for thousands of voices, fractional scaling, SysEx data and more.
Pictured above in silver and gold is the DX7 Centennial, released in 1987 to celebrate Yamaha's 100th anniversary. Not just a new paint job, this limited edition model has 64-voice internal RAM memory and 64-performance memory, 32-note polyphonic stereo output (2 x 16 voices), and a 76-key velocity and after-touch sensitive keyboard that glows in the dark. Only about 300 were made and it originally retailed for $3,500!
Like the DX7, these updated models may have been used by The Crystal Method, Kraftwerk, Underworld, Orbital, Talking Heads, Brian Eno, Depeche Mode, D:Ream, Front 242, U2, A-Ha, Enya, The Cure, Stabbing Westward.

Why oil prices are keeping Putin up at night
Steve LeVine, the oil and the glory
My mom out in California is elated -- gasoline prices in her neighborhood are below $4 a gallon for the first time in four months. Less so are the world's petro-rulers, who are watching the price of oil -- their life blood -- plunge at a rate they have not experienced since the dreaded year 2008. Industry analysts are using phrases such as "devastation" and "severe strain" to describe what is next for the petro-states should prices plummet as low as some fear. No one is as yet forecasting a fresh round of Arab Spring-like regime implosions. But that's the nightmare scenario if you happen to run a petrocracy.
To understand why your average oil king is right to be worried at the moment, grab your calculator. The price of U.S.-traded oil fell to $83.27 a barrel on Monday, and global benchmark Brent crude to $96.05 a barrel; now juxtapose that against the state budgets of Iran, Russia, and Venezuela, which require more than $110-a-barrel Brent prices to break even, according to generally accepted estimates, and you'll see the problem.
Given this already-existing revenue gap, one might fairly wonder what would happen if, as Citigroup's Edward Morse says is possible, prices drop another $20 a barrel for an extended length of time. Oil economist Philip Verleger's forecast is even gloomier -- a plunge to $40 a barrel by November. Or finally, what Venezuelan Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez fears -- $35-a-barrel prices, near the lows last seen in 2008. In Russia, for instance, "$35 or $40, or even $60 a barrel, would be devastating fiscally," says Andrew Kuchins of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. That could damage the standing of President Vladimir Putin, since his "popularity and authority are closely correlated with economic growth," Kuchins told me in an email exchange.
With few exceptions, the same goes for the rest of the world's petro-rulers, whose oil revenue supports vast social spending aimed at least in part at subduing possible dissatisfaction by their populace. Saudi Arabia can balance its budget as long as prices stay above $80 a barrel, according to the International Monetary Fund, although projected future social spending obligations will drive its break-even price to $98 a barrel in 2016...

Russia: oil gloom over St Petersburg
Stefan Wagstyl, FT blog
Oil prices slipped another notch on Thursday, putting pressure on producers, not least Russia, where the US$-denominated RTS index was down by 1.4 per cent around noon, Moscow time.
It was hardly an auspicious backdrop for the St Petersburg Economic Forum, Russia's premier business conference, which is hosted personally by president Vladimir Putin.
But what to do? Russia is even more dependent on oil than it was 12 years ago when Putin first took power. So it's not surprising that with Brent crude down 0.7 per cent at $92 a barrel, investors are jittery...

Putin Pushes International Oil CEOs For Access To Assets
Jake Rudnitsky and Ilya Khrennikov, Bloomberg
President Vladimir Putin asked the chief executives of U.S. and European energy producers to grant Russian companies access to international assets, holding out some of the world's biggest untapped resources as a prize.
Putin is hosting the heads of Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSA), ConocoPhillips, BP Plc (BP/) and Eni SpA (ENI) at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, using the three-day event to say Russia is one of the most welcoming countries for energy investments.
"Far from all countries allow such a broad involvement by foreign companies in the energy sector," Putin said in a speech yesterday, pointing to Mexico and Norway as countries where state-owned companies dominate the energy industry.
State-controlled OAO Rosneft, Russia's largest oil producer, has formed alliances with Exxon Mobil Corp., Eni and Statoil this year that grant access to potentially billions of barrels of offshore and hard-to-recover resources in exchange for stakes in projects abroad.

The UAE and the United States opened a new chapter in cooperation last week by signing a nuclear energy agreement. As long as the US Congress does not object, the deal will be enacted, placing the UAE on the road to becoming the first Arab nation with nuclear power plants.
Support for the deal comes from several luminaries, including Dr Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the former US senator Sam Nunn, Co-Chairman of the Nuclear Threat Initiative, and Barbara Judge, chairwoman of the UK Atomic Energy Authority. With these endorsements, how can anyone object to enacting the agreement? Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, is worried that the deal could spark a nuclear arms race in the region. But such fears appear overblown as long as the UAE keeps its promise to maintain a transparent peaceful nuclear programme and refrains from acquiring weapons-usable technologies such as uranium enrichment and reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. Notably, Iran has been developing a latent nuclear weapons capability through an enrichment programme.
Ros-Lehtinen and other politicians have also sounded an alarm on Iranian trans-shipments of non-nuclear military hardware through the UAE. They have proposed an amendment to the agreement that would require the US President to certify that no militarily useful technologies will transit through the UAE to Iran. This issue has an emotional appeal because American troops in Iraq have been killed with improvised explosive devices that US government officials say were supplied by Iran.

trouble with name increment
I am trying to write a script that records a window on my screen. No pb with that.
To go further I would like to choose an incremental fileName for output incrementing if the fileName already exist.
I have trouble doing it so before dealing with the incrementation itself, I want to check I can substitute the calculated name in the ffmpeg command.
index=1 #I will deal with the incrementation of index after this part works
mystring="${fileName}${index}.mkv" #omce I have a proper index I concatenate the name with index and name extension
echo ${mystring} # gives ~/Bureau/essai1.mkv seems to be what I expect
ffmpeg -f alsa ..... -y ${mystring}
I get this message
~/Bureau/essai1.mkv No such file or directory
despite -y to force overwriting
However if I put the file name directly in the command like this
ffmpeg -f alsa ..... -y ~/Bureau/essai1.mkv
it works perfectly. My question is : "What is wrong ?"

No. 25 Mississippi State (8-3, 4-3 Southeastern Conference) at Ole Miss (5-6, 2-5), 6 p.m. Saturday (ESPNU)
Line: Ole Miss by 1.
Series Record: Ole Miss leads 60-42-6
Mississippi State is trying to win its fourth straight Egg Bowl, which would extend the school's longest streak in the series since the 1940s. Only three teams in MSU history have won at least nine regular season games. Ole Miss is trying to take back in-state bragging rights and also become bowl eligible for the first time since 2009.
