Today's blog comes from David Turner.
I just returned from the first extended (two consecutive weeks) vacation of my entire life, realizing that even off the job, maintenance is a big part of everybody's life, every day. I went fishing in remote, isolated areas of Alaska. My only maintenance concern was that my fishing equipment was clean and ready to wrestle. I soon realized that other (service providers) maintenance practices affected not just my safety, but my ability to relax and enjoy this vacation that I've been saving up for, it wasn't cheap. I found myself checking every gauge in the small planes that we used to get to the remote fish camps. I hadn't relaxed yet.
Camp One
I was pleased to find brand new, electric start, four stroke outboard motors on the rental boats at our first camp. This was a "discount" camp, in that you guided yourself on the river in boats provided, cooked your own meals, landed your own fish, etc.. It was still pretty pricey, but I had total confidence as we ventured down-river after quizzing the owner about his new outboards. I knew he understood the importance of good maintenance practices when he advised me about what speeds to run the engines at during the break-in period. A maintenance guy after my own heart. We had a great week, caught fish, never had an equipment issue and I felt totally decompressed by week's end.
Camp Two
Then it was time for week two, at an exclusive and much more expensive resort. A quick seaplane ride brought us to a lake and beach where our fishing guides were waiting in outboard, jet-driven skiffs. We loaded up the skiffs and maintenance concerns quickly surfaced when the guide yanked repeatedly on the outboard's pull-start until it finally turned over with a puff of blue smoke. Then the starter cord never fully recoiled. Hmmm and we are now deep into bear country, the salmon runs have not started and the bears are hungry. I kept my bear spray within reach.
Upon arriving at the lodge, I saw another guide sounding the bulk storage fuel tanks used to refuel the outboards. He came up with a dry dipstick and seemed surprised. I believe it was the first time he checked his fuel supply since they opened the lodge in early June. It would take a few days for more fuel to arrive, so our ability to motor to fishing spots might be limited. I'm not happy about that after paying the full bill for this stay, months in advance.
Next I learned that two of the four boats available were not operational because they were waiting for parts (a simple nut in one case). Not a concern until we crossed a 14 mile lake in a stiff chop in a flat-bottom jon boat (the one that's hard to start) instead of using one of the more seaworthy deep vee hulls that needed a nut. I was starting to think about how a simple, organized preventive maintenance program could have greatly improved the quality and safety of my adventure. What should have been a 20 minute trip in the deep vee boat turned into an hour plus of bashing through waves in a less seaworthy craft. Now maintenance was back in my frontal lobe, where it shouldn't be on a fishing vacation. I started to think about Maximo Ron's spring maintenance video.
We made this 14 mile (one way) trip twice during the week and I tried not to act concerned about my safety. They might think I was complaining about bouncing around for 56 miles in a boat I wouldn't take out on a duck pond. Actually I was more concerned about the 38 degree water temperature and reliability of our jet-drive outboard, especially when we spotted the bear. Of course we had to get close for pictures, but should we really shut off the engine, the one that takes 5 to 10 pulls to start? I thought about how fast a brown bear can run, how close we were to him and how shallow the water was. I quickly calculated that we had time for one pull before the bear could easily be in the boat. Luckily we didn't need to test my math. Yogi must have found some caribou or early run salmon, he wasn't interested in eating us and good thing. The motor took five pulls to start.
So what's the point here? Simple for me. Good maintenance of assets that are part of any business will improve your bottom line, customer satisfaction and cost of operation. Good maintenance is supported by good systems at all levels. I don't think either lodge needs Maximo to keep operational, but they sure had enough equipment to be worthy of keeping some checklists.
Which lodge do you think I will never book again? Although I'm not sure I will ever visit either again in this lifetime, unless I hit the lottery, I am quite sure I will avoid any place where I don't have confidence in the equipment so vital to safety and making the trip enjoyable.

Blizzard Entertainment announced today that the PlayStation 4 version of Diablo III will be graced with the game's first expansion pack.
In August, we reported that Diablo III: Reaper of Souls might not make its way to PlayStation 3, since Blizzard's primary focus is on PC gaming. With the PS4 under a month away, Blizzard looks to be focusing its efforts on the next generation of gaming. Gamers who can make it to Blizzard's iconic convention can be the very first publicly to try out Reaper of Souls with the PS4's Dualshock 4 controller. Blizzcon takes place November 8-9, so now is the time to start looking for tickets; if tickets to physically go to the convention cannot be found, jump over to Blizzard's Virtual Ticket page to see everything right from your computer.
One might also note that the official Blizzard website that initially announced this information regarding Reaper of Souls states that only the PC and PS4 versions of the game will be playable, but nothing on the site says anything about the game being next-gen exclusive to PS4. Time will tell in that department, but the confirmation of extra content to Diablo III coming to Sony's next home console might coax PlayStation gamers into buying Diablo III one more time.

Would it not be a great irony if Hitler's dream of a thousand year Reich were to be translated into an EEC dominated economically by a democratic Germany?
I learn that the Holy Roman Empire was at one time called Germany, so prominent was that country in its affairs.
Sometimes I wonder if the anti-European movement in this country were not fuelled by a wish not to directly confront Germany by being totally involved.
Perhaps it would be better if we were to become another American state.
After all we have so much more in common with the US than with any of the European countries.
I would have no objection to being an American.

Aye, welcome back!!!! Always welcome here, I have found you give respect, you get respect. I thought SDSU was better than they are getting credit for. The RB is a pretty smart runner. Not great speed, but good enough, he reads his blocks well, and gets low. I thought SDSU was pretty well coached.
While I am a Coyote fan, I do follow the Jacks because they have a tough-nosed Cherokee boy playing safety for them.

Mercy For Animals Launches Anti-Foie Gras Campaign
In an attempt to dissuade Amazon from selling foie gras, MFA is educating consumers on the inherent cruelty of the industrys practices.
Animal-welfare organization Mercy For Animals has launched a campaign to expose the cruelties of the foie gras industry and urge web superstore Amazon not to sell the duck-liver product. On the campaign website amazoncruelty.com, an undercover video taken at Hudson Valley Foie Gras farm in New York, shows the process of ducks being force fed, the cramped cages that animals are forced to live in, and the high number of deaths caused by the inhumane feeding technique. The website also includes testimonials from a slew of veterinarians noting that foie gras is unnatural and causes extreme pain and suffering. Celebrities such as Kate Winslet, Paul McCartney, and even religious authorities including Pope Benedict XVI also speak out against the food industry practice that has been banned in California, Germany, Norway, and Switzerland.

On one occasion at a trade show, a friend of mine, who was employed by a competitor, approached our booth and said, "You guys are so serious!….all dressed up in suits! Come on, these are photographers! They're so casual!"
If you ever attend a photography trade show such as Photo Plus, Imaging USA, etc., you'll come across a handful of companies who sell inkjet media just as we do. Each company is presenting to the public all that they have to offer. As you walk from booth to booth, you'll see samples of all the different types of media, and you'll hear company representatives explain why their products are better than the competition. And like clockwork, as my friend referred to above, you will find the representatives from these different companies very casually dressed – either in t-shirts or golf shirts that bear their company logo.
Everyone Just Looks the Same
Despite differences in corporate colors, there aren't many differences between the appearance and message of these companies. Imagine how confusing this can be for photographers, who come to this show to learn and make decisions for their business. After a whole day of visiting these booths, seeing the same types of media but just under different brands, hearing the same claims from representatives who more or less wearing the same attire, it's a wonder how any photographer could leave the show with a unique message or feeling about any of these brands.
Enter Breathing Color.
At our booth, you'll see that the guys are dressed in navy blue suits, with white shirts and red ties (in sync with our corporate colors), and a lapel pin bearing our logo. Similarly, the women are cohesively dressed with an emphasis on professionalism and class. You'll find that our booth design is consistent with this emphasized professional theme. Because we are the only inkjet media manufacturer who approaches a trade show in this way, we definitely stand out (again, hence the statement from my friend in the opening of this article).
Why We Do It Different
So why do we do this? It's because we intend to and do send a strong message about the overall professionalism, class, and commitment to quality of this organization. We're not selling cheap stuff here – fine art paper, photo paper, and canvas are both expensive and fragile. Our customers are using our products to create fine art prints that are sold for several hundred or several thousands of dollars. We understand that. We want them to know, without having to ask, that every Breathing Color product is first class and state-of-the-art. We want it to be implied that no superior alternative exists. In my opinion, we won't send a message of this significance in jeans and a golf shirt – for the same reason that a Ritz Carlton doesn't look like a Holiday Inn, and a limo chauffeur never shows up in a tank top and flip flops. It's implied. Appearances communicate strong messages about quality, professionalism, and class. That's why we dress the way we do. It's consistent with how we operate.
We put an extreme amount of care, quality, and concern into every product we design, develop, and release to the market. We believe we take this to an entirely different level than our competitors and that this message, this commitment to the highest standard of quality possible, must be communicated. Our commitment to the highest quality standards is not exclusive to our product development alone; it is a companywide credo that extends to every facet of our organization – customer service, marketing, and even down to the care in which our shipping department will pack each and every order (note that striving for perfection doesn't mean we are mistake-free by any means!). We just want our customers, if possible, to experience this commitment with every interaction they have with us. Therefore, our professional attire and overall presentation is a visual manifestation of this companywide commitment.
Our Customers "Get It"
It makes me very happy when new customers see us and "get" what we're trying to communicate with the whole brand of Breathing Color. Here's an email we got from a Photo Plus 2010 visitor, who had never before met us or heard of Breathing Color:
"I was at the PhotoPlus Expo, and I ended up at your booth because it was the most professional. I made a purchase without doing any research on your company or knowing of its reputation. Of course, I have since gone on your website and am impressed and happy I ended up at your booth." – Frank DeGrim
Appearances do send strong messages. Frank hasn't even tried our products yet, but clearly, Breathing Color stood out to him and that was the difference maker. We're grateful for his confidence in us, and now it's our time to live up to our message. We can't wait for him to receive his first order, make some prints, and experience the elite standing of Breathing Color inkjet media.
What You Should Consider for Your Own Business
So whether you're a print studio, photo lab, photographer or artist….I will leave you with a few questions to consider for your own business:
What is your brand message? Is your business appearing in a way that is consistent with your brand message?
Are you appearing different from your competitors in a significant, tangible way? If so, what is it that really makes you different? Are you communicating these differences in a consistent way with your overall brand message?

I agree wholeheartedly with Dreamr, Neukgraag and Deautschmann. As much as I am overwhelmed by Rita's extraordinary natural beauty,intelligence, seductive expressiveness and delightfully sweet disposition, I think that the trusting, caring, reciprocal rapport between Lochai and Rita brought out the best in each of them. The pain and pleasure appeared to be an intimate dialog between them. Certainly the best work I have seen Lochai do. Please return both ASAP and recruit Rita for other appropriate Kink sites.

text: This afternoon is the first time for Oliver has returned back to school for three months. He was feeling very low about his body shape. He got dressed this afternoon and looked at himself in the mirror, walked in to his bedroom and ripped up his school photo crying that everyone was going to laugh at him and yes it was like having my heart ripped out yet again. Told him how amazing he was, how good looking he was and that everything would be okay. Walked in to school and one of the girls shouted out 'oh look its Oliver, I thought he was dead!' and yes for a very split second I wanted to react but quickly remembered that I was a grown up! so I have left him at school for the afternoon whilst I pace up and down the landing. I know that children will be children, I know someone will be mean about this body shape, this is life but it does seem a little unfair after all they have been through! I am sure that it will all be positive and that he will fit right back in after a few weeks. We have to let them go, but it is really hard!

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — An Alabama high school student will apologize after taking a photo of herself with a medical school cadaver and posting it on social media.
Al.com reports Limestone County school officials settled on an apology as the appropriate response after learning of the selfie.
The Clements High School senior was part of a group of anatomy students touring the medical program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Students were told that photos were prohibited. But the young woman pulled a sheet off a dead body and took a photo. The photo shows the smiling student and the cadaver.
The photo was later removed from Instagram, but school leaders still found out.
Limestone School Superintendent Tom Sisk says the student must go to the university with her family to apologize.

Egyptians intensify protests against embattled Brotherhood
Newscast Media CAIRO, Egypt—Hundreds of protesters have been arriving in Tahrir Square since early morning in preparation for mass rallies against President Morsi's constitutional declaration and the draft constitution. Seventeen marches are expected to begin after Friday prayers from venues around Cairo including Giza, Tahrir Square, Abbaseya and a number of mosques. They will converge on the presidential palace in Heliopolis.
The protest has been variously termed 'Friday to oust the Brotherhood's militias', 'Red Card Friday', and 'Ultimatum Friday'. Around twenty-one groups have announced their participation in the protests.
Hundreds of protesters have been holding a sit-in in Tahrir Square since 22 November when President Morsi's constitutional declaration rendered his decisions above judicial challenge and made the Islamist-dominated Shura Council and Constituent Assembly immune from dissolution by court order.
Protesters marched around Tahrir Square early Friday chanting, "The people want the downfall of the Brotherhood and Morsi" and "Leave, leave Morsi and Badie," referring to the Muslim Brotherhood's Supreme Guide Mohamed Badie.

UPDATE Your OWN Show: Michael Vick Cancels Interview With Oprah
February 17, 2011 10:00 AM by Veronica Dudo
Your OWN Show: Oprah recently announced she had landed an interview with the National Football League's Michael Vick scheduled for next week, but last minute Vick cancelled the interview.According to Entertainment Weekly, Vick's representative issued this statement on behalf of the NFL player: "After careful consideration, I will need to postpone the taping of the Oprah Winfrey interview scheduled for February 22. I admire and respect Oprah and hope to be able to participate in an interview in the future."
Vick served 21 months after his 2007 guilty plea for running an illegal dogfighting ring in Virginia. The controversial quarterback signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2009. Then, in 2010 Vick starred in a docu-series, The Michael Vick Project.
In a statement Harpo Productions announced: "Michael Vick was scheduled to be a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show for an episode airing next Thursday, Feb. 24. Mr. Vick's representatives called last night to cancel his appearance for personal reasons."
Harpo had previously said Oprah would talk to Vick about his time in jail, his return to the NFL, his work with the Humane Society and his future plans.
The interview came about after Oprah appeared on the inaugural episode of Piers Morgan Tonight and the talk show hosts made a friendly wager–who could land Vick first.

Diet of western Burrowing Owls wintering in southern Texas

AbstractWinter diets of the western Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia hypugaea) are little known. We determined the diet of western Burrowing Owls wintering in southern Texas by analyzing the contents of 182 pellets collected over four winters (1999-2000, 2001-2002, 2002-2003, and 2003-2004) in three habitat types (agricultural, mainland grassland, and barrier island). Remains of a total of 7476 prey items were recovered, 98% of which were arthropods. Gryllidae (crickets) formed the largest component (50%) of the prey, followed by lepidopteran larvae (13%), beetles (8%), spiders (7%), and earwigs (6%). Although vertebrates, primarily small mammals and birds, represented only 2% of prey items by number, they represented most (71%) of the biomass. Northern pygmy mice (Baiomys taylori) and fulvous harvest mice (Reithrodontomys fulveccens) were the two most frequently consumed vertebrate species. In all habitats, arthropods, especially orthopterans, were the primary prey item by number, whereas vertebrates, primarily small mammals, were the most important by biomass. Greater consumption of arthropods by Burrowing Owls in agricultural areas may be a factor contributing to owl use of these highly altered environments. ?? 2007 The Raptor Research Foundation, Inc.

I just installed the plugin m2e for the first time on Eclipse.
I wrote a simple JUnit (version 4) test. I can run it from Eclipse, but not from the pom.xml (alt-click, Run as, Maven Test). I suppose I need to tell Maven to search for that class, but I just don't know how.
Also, I couldn't find JUnit 4 in the groupId "junit": only the version 3.8.1 is available. Do I really need to write tests for version 3.x and not version 4+?
How to fix this?
Think of me as a newbie with Maven: that's exactly what I am. So please don't speak about artifact technobabble unless describing exactly what I need to do. I could barely install Guava as dependency and I'm completely lost right now with these concepts.

Do Your Memorial Day Plans Include Working?Danielle Sullivan
The Memorial Day weekend is finally upon us. While the majority of us will host or attend barbecues and hit the beach, a lot of us will work in one way or another. For moms who work outside the home, having three days off is a luxury but also a time to play catch up. I know that on the days I don't have to work, I tend to put myself in manic mode trying to clean the house, plan fun activities, shop and get all the things done that need to get done.
Stay- at-home moms are not immune either. Planning family functions and events can be draining. The prep work and planning (not to mention clean-up) that goes into a party is an undertaking. And even without planning barbecues, getting the kids fed, cleaned, and out the door in itself can be a chore at times. Throw in the pool maintenance, summer clothing shopping (or winter clothing storage), laundry, and regular household duties. And quite a few of us have graduations to plan for, everything from Pre-K to college.
No matter what we do, there never seems to be enough time in our day.
Back when I was young, holidays were meant to enjoyed. Stores were closed or closed early, and family and friends gathered leisurely. Today it seems like everyone is cramming in one event after another, one more phone call or email, and one more obligation. It's exhausting.
But this year especially it seems it's necessary to celebrate Memorial Day by supporting our troops in some way with our kids no matter how big our to-do list gets. Whether we attend a parade or another event that supports the men and women that sacrifice on a daily basis for us so we can be free and safe, we should show our gratitude.
Since we bought our house, one thing my son loves to do is put out the flag on special days. He tries his best to get the large flagpole into the holder. Last time he managed by himself and we looked around our block and admired the other flags proudly waving in the wind. Then we sat on the steps and talked for a bit about the soldiers and what they are doing overseas.
Gratitude begins in small ways. Today, the kids get out of school early so the first thing we'll do is raise the flag. While I probably will work for some of the weekend, I'm making it a point to honor the meaning of the holiday…..oh yeah, and relax too!

News on Toast: Parents not appy about adult content for kids
Written by Petra Starke
6 Comments
Aussie tourists told to stay home as a fresh terror plot is uncovered in Bali, children's apps outrage parents with R-rated ads and a new sexual harassment claim raises questions about flirting in the workplace: The morning's hot topics in bite-sized pieces just right for dunking.
Terror plot in paradise foiled
Australian tourists planning trips to Bali have been urged to reconsider after it was revealed yesterday five terrorists killed by Indonesian police had been planning to bomb a popular tourist spot on Thursday night.
Police had been following the men for a month before launching their raid on Sunday, in which all suspects were shot. It has since been revealed that the terror cell was planning a bomb attack on the La Vida Loca bar in Seminyak, just north of Kuta beach. The Australian today reports the terrorists had "surveyed" the area extensively and "drawn diagrams" of the bar.
At this point it's unclear whether any other members of the terror cell are still at large, but The Australian reports security on the island has been tightened.
More than 5000 Australians are holidaying in Bali with another 2000 due to arrive in coming weeks.
>> Would you change your travel plans, or chance it? Does this news make you reconsider Bali as a future holiday destination?
Hey kids, do you want porn with that?
Next time you go to download one of those fun, free kids' apps on your tablet or smartphone for your little one to play with – you might want to spend some time playing it yourself first. The Daily reports today that many free apps aimed at children feature advertisements for porn, guns, gambling and scientology.
Android app Kids Match 'Em has attracted furious Amazon reviews for interspersing a memory game with r-rated advertisements picturing scantily dressed women, while Nursery TV for iPhone made headlines in Austria after it was found to be advertising scientology in between its nursery rhymes.
With online and in-app advertising largely unregulated, and many app designers unaware of or indifferent to the problem, the only option for parents is to download an app that filters inappropriate ads or pay for ad-free versions of children's apps.
>> Have you ever downloaded a free app for your kids? Did you think to check it for R-rated content? How do you regulate what your kids do online?
Sexual harassment or "light hearted" fun?
Here's a question: What do you consider "light hearted banter" in the workplace? Joking about last night's episode of My Kitchen Rules, maybe? Asking a workmate round to your place for a BBQ on the weekend, perhaps?
What about asking them to go on a "dirty weekend"? Or referencing that same person in front of other staff by saying "I think we were married in a past life, I bet the sex was hot" ?
Sydney woman Rebecca Richardson alleges both of those things were said to her by colleague Randol Tucker when she worked at software company Oracle, the Daily Telegraph reports. She's now suing the company in the Federal Court because, the court was told, when she complained about Mr Tucker's behaviour and requested to no longer work with him, he stayed in the same job while she was "demoted" into a lesser role.
Mr Tucker's lawyer Anna Perigo claimed in court the incidents were nothing more than "light hearted banter" between workmates.
For legal reasons we can't comment on this particular ongoing case, but it does raise an interesting topic – how far is too far when it comes to office banter?
>> Are you careful what you say in the office? Do you think flirting in the workplace is ever appropriate? How far is too far?
And there's your News on Toast for Tuesday! How are you going with creating that cover image for JustB's Facebook page? Remember there's $300 in it for the winner!

ZF-12153: Zend_Controller_Request_Http::getClientIp(), dangerous default
By default Zend_Controller_Request_Http::getClientIp() checks for X-Forwarded-For that leads to easy IP spoofing. This is a very dangerous default since method can be used for IP-based authorization:
if(in_array(getClientIp(), $allowedAddresses))
echo 'I am admin! Yay!';
If you're not sure if it's good to break backwards compatibility in order to prevent it and if it's better just to mention it somewhere in the documentation, check these:
My opinion is, that it would be enough to mention in the doc's that default call to getClientIp() should be used only in secured manner, for ex. logging purposes, etc... and any usage for getting authoritativ privileges should be used with caution and eventually setting $checkProxy = false

A Close-Up of a Master
Auguste Rodin: Intimate Works
Jill Newhouse Gallery
4 E. 81st St.
(212) 249-9216, through April 15
A small private collection devoted to a popular and prolific artist can offer an unusual portrayal. It is almost as if we are seeing an artist in fragments and along the edges—instead of, as in a deep-pocketed museum's display, full-force and head-on. Such is the case with this show of 13 small sculptures (in bronze, terra cotta, plaster, marble and biscuit de Sévres), 13 works on paper, 15 period photographs of Rodin's sculptures by Jacques-Ernest Bulloz, and several rare books and artist's letters.
Rodin (1840-1917) can be overwhelming and over-the-top. Confronted with his "Gates of Hell" or his "Burghers of Calais," I want to run for the comforts of less strident, less expressionistic sculpture. This exhibition, however, in which we see a range of Rodin from across his career, is personable. The experience is like thumbing through the pages of a diary. Not everything here is memorable, and some works aren't casts made in Rodin's lifetime. But the dreamy photographs alone, acquired by Rodin in 1914-15 from the dancer Loie Fuller, demand a visit.
A row of sculptures—from the tender, white marble "Alsatian Orphan" and patinated terra-cotta "Bust of a Woman" to the exuberant bronze "Head of Balzac"—lines the gallery's mantle. Among the show's masterpieces are tiny, writhing bronze hands—like trinkets or charms, but with the fullness of figures; and the bronze "Nijinsky," a zigzagging conflation of dancer, discus thrower and lightning bolt. Also here is an astounding grouping of three small ink drawings inspired by Michelangelo's "Tomb of Julian and Lorenzo de Medici." Writing from Florence, in 1876, while he was making the drawings, Rodin remarked, "I believe that the great magician is giving me some of his secrets." The same could be said of this show, which presents an intimate portrait of both artist and collector.
Drawn From Photography
The Drawing Center
35 Wooster St.
(212) 219-2166, through March 31
To "draw" has traditionally meant to draw from—not to copy—life. But since the dawn of photography (c. 1822), artists have had to defend against the belief that painting and drawing are chiefly mimetic, rather than poetic, acts. The camera's ability to manufacture a likeness has unwittingly pitted the metaphoric functions—the truths—of painting and drawing against the mere fact of the photograph. Now, a legion of artists (eschewing life altogether) is drawing only from photography.
"Drawn From Photography" focuses its lens on 13 contemporary artists who translate photo-based and digital media into so-called drawings. The hook here is that most are commenting on charged themes, including war, industrialization, activism and revolt, political upheaval and assassinations—subjects that come to us primarily through photography, television and the Internet. The drawings here generally are black-and-white and photorealistic. Their iconic subjects—Lenin, Malcolm X, JFK, Yitzhak Rabin, civil-rights demonstrations, the Iraq War and the Statue of Liberty—trigger a sense of familiarity. But the show's renderings feel remote and sterile. We are offered dim likenesses of the people and events of our lives, without the life of art.
Unpainted Paintings
Luxembourg & Dayan
66 E. 77th St.
(212) 452-4646, through May 27
This oxymoronic exhibition with its marquee names—Jean Dubuffet, Martin Kippenberger, Yves Klein, Piero Manzoni, Robert Rauschenberg, Julian Schnabel and Andy Warhol, among nearly 30 others—is an object lesson in just how much—or how little—you can do to a substrate (most often canvas), with tedious results.
In these works from the 1950s to the present, artists employ collage, gold leaf, plaster, textiles, flowers, ceramics, urine and actual garbage. Historical precedents exist for almost every act in this show, but most of the unpainted paintings stand as acts of defiance of, if not actual attacks on, the pictorial tradition.
Pictures are torn, defiled, pricked, nailed, burned and assailed with acid. Granted, it must be difficult to compose with fire or a stream of one's urine, but not much here is visually interesting. Sometimes the irony and pretentiousness—as in Steven Parrino's "Thanxs for the Blades" (1993), a painting that has been repeatedly slashed but is ensconced here in a generously deep and protective Plexiglas box—are laughable.
The dyed-cotton works by Richard Tuttle and by Blinky Palermo are refreshingly minimal, clean and demure. This is especially true when seen alongside so many unjustifiably tortured works, in which the means overpower the ends.
—Mr. Esplund writes about art for the Journal.

For those of you that haven't enterd the realm of "Serenity" as yet, I have some words of wisdom for you to ponder. Even if you have reached the age of Serenity, you may still have some questions or are simply wondering about what is happening around you.
This is also for you.
These are tidbit stories reflective of the reality of our Golden Years. I'm not quite at Golden, but I know I've left "BRASS" way behind. None the less, I can certainly identify or report I have witnessed some of these stories unfold.
Read on…
Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked,
'How old was your husband?' '98,' she replied.
'Two years older than me'
'So you're 96,' the undertaker commented.
She responded, 'Hardly worth going home, is it?
Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman:
'And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?' the reporter asked.She simply replied, 'No peer pressure.'
The nice thing about being senile is
You can hide your own Easter eggs.
I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement,
New knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes, I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,
Take 40 different medications that
Make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts, have bouts with dementia,
have poor circulation, hardly feel my hands and feet anymore, can't remember if I'm 85 or 92 and have lost all my friends.
But, thank God, I still have my driver's license.
I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape.
So I got my doctor's permission to
Join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors.
I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on,
The class was over.
My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
Know how to prevent sagging? Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.
It's scary when you start making the same noises As your coffee maker.
These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, ' For fast relief.'
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
The good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.
There you go. If any of the above stories, quips or prayers have meaning to you…you have entered the golden age.
If onone of the above etchings mean a thing to you…"you're a damn liar".
Have a nice day.

In the recent issue of Empire Magazine, X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner discussed future X-Men projects beyond June's X-Men prequel, X-Men: First Class.
One of the most discussed X-Men movies is Deadpool, which sees Ryan Reynolds reprising his role from 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine. While Reynolds admitted last September that he may not be able to fit Deadpool into his jammed schedule, the actor said earlier this month that Deadpool was "still in the works" and that he "wants it to happen." Shuler Donner told Empire (via The Playlist) that Reynolds was still very much involved in the Deadpool adaptation.
He's very involved, Ryan. He's working with the writers on the screenplay and it is [his] as much as it is ours. I'm tellin' ya, it's true to the comic. You'll see all of them. You'll see Wade Wilson, the good-looking Ryan Reynolds! You'll see Deadpool in his costume and you'll see the cancer-scarred face.
The script, from Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, will be "a total reboot" that's "definitely comedy," says Shuler Donner.
But it's an R script, it's really irreverent and violent. Right away, we're out of the X-Men world.
Shuler Donner also told Empire that Deadpool will ignore the events from X-Men Origins: Wolverine. "We're either going to pretend that didn't happen, or mock it, which he could do," said Shuler Donner.
One thing that Deadpool lacks is a director. "We're looking for a director, yes," admitted Shuler Donner. Robert Rodriguez has been rumored for the job, but no deal was ever finalized.
Director David Slade (30 Days of Night, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse), who was once up for the directing job on another of Fox's upcoming X-Men movie The Wolverine, recently tweeted about the Deadpool director search despite never being up for the job himself.
Love DEADPOOL, was never engaged in the (quite fantastic) script, last I heard studio was looking at comedy directors. None of my business.
Speaking of movies that lack a director, The Wolverine is also searching for one after Darren Aronofsky recently left the project.
More directors could be sought for other future X-Men projects as well. Shuler Donner revealed that the X-Men trilogy, which set the stage for movies like First Class and Wolverine, could get more sequels. Shuler Donner says a treatment for the fourth installment has been delivered to the studio.
We took the treatment to Fox and they love it... And X4 leads into X5.
Shuler Donner did not say whether the "we" included Bryan Singer, who directed the first two X-Men movies and is producing First Class and came up with the prequel's story.

I'm converting another project and I once again turn to the forum for opinions. I am converting another road bike to a three speed. I am considering either running a RD with three cogs in back and a single ring up front, or three chainrings up front (the current crankset has bolt holes for a triple) and something like the Paul Melvin, Problem Solvers, or Shimano Alfine for the rear:
If I go the RD route, I will just use a regular 8 speed shifter and adjust the lower and upper limit screws (longer screws) to keep the RD from over shifting. If I go the triple chainring route (trying to mainting about a 4 tooth difference between rings) I will just use a regular mtb style front shifter. Please let me know your opinions on what you would do and why. If I am missing something mechanically that won't work, please let me know. Thanks.

The U.S.-Mexico border was famously described by Gloria Anzaldúa as the "thin edge of barbwire…where the Third World grates against the First and bleeds." Nowhere else in the world is there such physical proximity of a post-industrial nation and a developing one. While capital, goods and managerial personnel freely cross the border under NAFTA, the Mexican worker is the target of conflicting policies aimed at securitizing the border and disciplining labor on both sides. The political and economic relationship between the two nations produces deeply problematic effects in each, driving northward migration and producing the archetypically Mexican "illegal alien" devoid of rights. Deeply held notions of racial, ethnic and national boundaries mark the social terrain, yet are challenged by the explosive growth of transnational circuits and communities. Emphasizing historical analysis and contemporary theories of nationalism, governmentality, globalization, and transnationalism, the course will challenge students to rethink the meaning of the border, the place of Mexicans in the U.S., and the role of the U. S. in Mexico.
Until 2003, consensual sex between adult same-gender partners was a crime in many of the United States. Most states and the Federal government still prohibit same-sex marriage and exclude nonconforming couples and individuals from a host of social and financial benefits automatically available to the straight. And those whose gender identity is transgressive face numerous legal indignities. Many forms of resistance (and backlash) have emerged to challenge (or reinforce) the normative assumptions of state control over sexuality and gender expression. Public confrontations between the values of traditional sexual morality, and those of individual autonomy and equality, take place in judicial, legislative and electoral arenas. By reading historical analyses and key cases that reflect and shape our debates about the proper place of the State in queer people's bedrooms and lives, we will gain basic familiarity with legal analysis, constitutional politics and the law as a historically contingent system of power.

High potency 5-HTP for sleep
I picked NOW Foods 5-HTP to regulate serotonin levels, as in the morning I take tyrosine to raise dopamine. As these neurotransmitters offset each other i needed a balance to achieve restful sleep. It works at this concentration for me.

States of confusion
Politics | Major changes in the primary calendar mean major challenges for candidates
Here's a piece of advice for presidential candidates filling in their travel schedules for the fall campaign season: Use a pencil. The eraser will come in handy when facing an ever-changing primary calendar among states clamoring for more influence in the 2008 elections.
At least 15 states have moved up their primary dates in 2008, and more than a dozen moved up their contests to Feb. 5: With more than 20 states scheduled to hold primaries that day, Feb. 5 will become the biggest single voting day in primary history.
Some states are moving their primaries even earlier: Wyoming Republicans announced they will hold their primary on Jan. 5, edging out Iowa, which typically holds the first caucus in the nation and may now make its date even earlier than that. South Carolina Republicans moved their primary to Jan. 19, bumping New Hampshire's traditional second-place spot. Florida and Michigan moved their primary dates into January as well.
The glut of early primaries produces a stark reality: If the current schedule holds, more than half the states will have voted by Feb. 5. That means the race for the presidential nominations could effectively be over less than five months from now.
Both the Democratic and Republican national parties say they will penalize states that move up primary dates in violation of national party rules.
Democratic National Committee (DNC) regulations allow only four states to hold contests before Feb. 5. DNC officials threaten a hefty penalty for any other state that holds Democratic contests before that date: They say they will strip those states of all their nominating delegates at the party's national convention next year.
The Republican National Committee says it plans to penalize at least five states holding early primaries as well, and threatens to strip those states of half their delegates at next year's national convention.
Since a clear presidential nominee has usually emerged by the time of the conventions, stripping states of delegates likely wouldn't affect the outcome of the nominating process. But levying punishments against states could divide both parties at a critical moment late in the election season.
Some state officials shrugged off the threats, saying the national parties can't afford to go through with the penalties. "Why would you want to punish those states when you are trying to win the general election?" asked Saul Anuzis, chairman of the Michigan Republican Party.
Fergus Cullen, chairman of the New Hampshire GOP, said he was willing to take the risk: "If we end up being stripped of delegates, that is the price we are willing to pay."
David Woodard, a political scientist at Clemson University, says states are willing to pay that price to gain more influence: With Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada dominating the early primary schedule for years, Woodard says "more diverse states feel like the early states are getting too much attention."
Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm cited that very reasoning when announcing her state's early primary, saying candidates should pay more attention to what she calls unfair trade policies and the state's manufacturing crisis.
But clumping more than half of the states' primaries into the calendar by Feb. 5 creates problems, says Woodard: "The only people who can compete are rich athletes." He says candidates will need an enormous amount of cash to afford visiting dozens of states within a few days.
The candidates will also need huge reserves to buy advertising in dozens of states at one time. "If you don't have the money there's no way you can emerge from the pack and be a viable candidate," says Woodard. "A lot of good candidates won't be able to go forward."
All the Democratic presidential candidates have signed a pledge stating they won't campaign in states that hold early primaries in violation of national party rules. That move will take some of the pressure off candidates to campaign in an excessive number of states at one time, but Woodard says the mass of early primaries in the first weeks of next year will still mean the same thing: "Just three weeks and it's over."

After a metropolitan magistrate in Ahmedabad gave Narendra Modi clean chit in 2002 Gulbarg society case by rejecting Zakia Jafri's plea against SIT's clean chit, the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate sent out a three word tweet in Hindi: Satyamev Jayate, along with English translation: Truth Alone Triumphs.
On Thursday while his government completed first year of the third term, Gujarat Chief Minister Modi was away in Goa to attend wedding ceremony of his counterpart Manohar Parikar's son when the verdict was delivered.
In 2011, after the Supreme Court had refused to intervene in the Gujarat riot cases, Modi has said on micro blogging site : "God is great!". This time too, the tweet that came couple of hours after the verdict had mentioned no references. Following SC clean chit to Modi, he had then announced Sadbhavna Mission, where in he observed fast, by going to all the district places in Gujarat, to send out message of harmony and brotherhood.
Meanwhile, his government hailed the verdict as 'an answer to 10 years long Congress sponsored propaganda against Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and his other colleagues from the ministry'.
The Modi government spokesperson and finance minister Nitin Patel soon after verdict said, "The verdict has silenced so called secular forces''. When Modi's campaign for forthcoming Lok Sabha is on in full swing, Patel added, "Court's verdict has now put every false allegations against Modi and his government to rest''.
"This is a happy moment for Gujarat. Various false allegations were levelled against the Modi government in post-Godhra riots. They were done by the Congress by putting forward others. The SC had give clean chit...the SIT had given clean chit.... and now court has given clean chit. All these just goes to prove that the Modi government had taken all the necessary steps to maintain security and peace then also and now also'', Patel added.
He further said, "The Congress is time and again finding itself helpless against increasing popularity of Modi. And, that was the reason this so called secular force had come up with baseless allegations''..
The apex court then had asked a Ahmedabad trial court to decide whether Narendra Modi and 63 others should be investigated on charges that they failed to leash the widespread riots in Gujarat, which started soon after the Sabarmati train carnage.
The apex court also directed the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to submit its

When developing programs that interoperate with external systems, it's often
necessary to process data in a common format. For example, a program may
wish to process data from an Excel spreadsheet. Excel has the capability
to export a worksheet in Comma Separated Value (CSV) format. Using the string
Split() method allows you to extract the values from in between the
commas. Similarly, the string Join() method will take individual
values from an array and combine them with a separator, such as a
comma. The listing below shows how to use the string Split()
and Join() methods:
using System;
namespace csharp_station.howto
static void
Main(string[] args)
// comma delimited string
string commaDelimited =
Console.WriteLine("Original Comma Delimited String: \n{0}\n", commaDelimited);
// separate
individual items between commas
string[] year = commaDelimited.Split(new
char[] {','});
Console.WriteLine("Each individual item: ");
month in year)
Console.Write("{0} ", month);
// combine
array elements with a new separator
string colonDelimeted = String.Join(":", year);
Console.WriteLine("New Colon Delimited String: \n{0}\n", colonDelimeted);
quarter = commaDelimited.Split(new
Char[] {','}, 3);
Console.WriteLine("The First Three Items: ");
month in quarter)
Console.Write("{0} ", month);
thirdQuarter = String.Join("/", year, 6, 3);
Console.WriteLine("The Third Quarter: \n{0}\n", thirdQuarter);
And here's the output:
Original Comma Delimited String:
Each individual item:
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
New Colon Delimited String:
The First Three Items:
Jan Feb Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec
The Third Quarter:
In the listing above, there is a CSV string named commaDelimited, which
holds the twelve months of the year, separated by commas. It splits this string,
joins it into another string, performs a three element split, and
finally does a selective join of the 6th through 8th elements of a zero-based array.
The simplest syntax of the Split() method accepts a character array as
it's only parameter, listing the characters to use in determining where
splitting of the string should occur. It returns an array of strings,
with each element of the array corresponding to the value between the specified
delimiter(s). The line below is from the first split operation in the
string[] year = commaDelimited.Split(new
char[] {','});
In a similar manner, elements of an array may be combined into a delimited
string by using the Join() method. The simplest overload of the Join()
method accepts two parameters: a string, which separates each array
element, and the array of elements to be combined. The Join()
method is static, requiring the String type identifier, rather
than a string instance, to implement the command. The following
line from the listing creates a string with all year elements in
sequence, separated by colons:
string colonDelimeted = String.Join(":", year);
Those were the simple implementations of these methods, and probably the most
likely to be used. Now lets take a peek at a couple of their overloads to
see how to implement more specialized behavior.
The Split() method has an overload with a second parameter, specifying
the number of separations to implement. The next line will separate the commaDelimited
string into three array elements:
string[] quarter = commaDelimited.Split(new
Char[] {','}, 3);
At first thought, one may think that the three array elements could be Jan,
Feb, and Mar, but this is not so. The first array element
is Jan, the second is Feb, and the last is the rest of the string.
To see for yourself, here's the output string with each array element
separated by a space:
Jan Feb Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec
The Join() method has an overload that allows you to extract a subset of
an array. The first two parameters are the same as previously
described, and the third and fourth parameters specify the position in the array
to begin reading and the number of elements to read, respectively. The
following line from the listing creates a string with a forward slash
between the sixth through eighth elements of the year array:
string thirdQuarter = String.Join("/", year, 6, 3);
The string Split() and Join() methods provide functionality to
work with delimited strings. The Split() method allows you to
gather a delimited set of values from a string into an array and
the Join() method lets you create a delimited string from an array.
This supports both custom data formats as well as information interchange with
other programs.

Many thanks to Ben Walsh for pulling together the data for this chart. The numbers speak for themselves, really: over the course of Steve Ballmers tenure as Microsoft CEO, the companys stock price has gone nowhere, its market share has plungedbut its headcount has more than trebled. And thats before adding another 32,000 employees as part of the Nokia acquisition.
Ben Thompson has a very smart analysis of Microsofts move here:
Guy English has already characterised Ballmers disastrous reorganisation as a straitjacket for the next CEO; adding on a mobile phone business that Microsoft probably should abandon is like attaching an anchor to said straitjacket and tossing the patient into the ocean. It will be that much more difficult for the next CEO to look at Windows Phone rationally.
As Henry Blodget notes, Windows Phone is now going to account for a good quarter of Microsofts employees; integrating those two huge and very different cultures is going to take an enormous amount of effort, with no guarantee of success. And as Thompson notes, this acquisition essentially forces Microsoft to double down on its strategy (which has signally failed to date) of competing head-to-head with Android and iOS.
There is really zero consumer demand for an alternative smartphone OS: even the ultrageeks fell well short of raising the $32 million they needed to develop a version of Ubuntu for phones. Microsoft is pretty good at giving big organisations what they wantWindows and Office, the two great powerhouses which have between them accounted for all of Microsofts profits over the years. And somewhere, deep inside its institutional memory, it knows that once upon a time it came late to the browser game, entered with a big splash, and ended up demolishing Netscape.
The problem is that this second-mover strategy doesnt work against Google and Apple. It doesnt work in search, it doesnt work in tablets, it doesnt work in phones. (It has arguably worked in gaming systems, which is something of a Pyrrhic victory, given the way in which games are going mobile.) Nokia is a failing companyif Microsoft hadnt swept in to save it, it would probably have gone bust pretty quicklyand one of the reasons that its failing is that no one wants to buy a Windows phone. And thats especially true in the fastest-growing market of all.
Nokias fall has been most spectacular in Asia, a region that its phones once dominated. As recently as

I took 4 at 6:20 a.m. this morning, just before I hopped on bike (reference my 7th decade post) and usually do so before a 'pain' ride. But no more than once a week.
Dr. asked me to switch to tylenol, but I still prefer Ibu.
**Fate is a fickle thing, and in the end the true measure of a person is not fate itself, but how they master it**
Yes, it helps my knees during a long ride.
It's all downhill from here. Except the parts that are uphill.
It helps me too. I take 2 if I'm going to ride for 2+ hours.

There are two types of road bikers: bikers who are faster than me, and me. Bruce Cameron - Denver Post
No meds for me before any ride. Usually, I take all 7 prescribed meds after completing the ride and after I have my meal (breakfast or brunch), around noon time. As much as possible, I would tolerate any pain than taking pain meds. The reason for that is to protect the remaining kidney. And I have been living in pain due to arthritis. Have been very lucky, I haven't had the osteoarthritis and thanks to the physical activities recommended by arthritis doctors.
Flippin' doper.
Here is a concern: "ibprophen before" can be rearranged to spell "unripe boffo beer" which would mask your drugs better than Jack Daniels.....but HGH will make you go faster, they say.Originally Posted by Digital Gee

I usually take 2 ibuprofen before dental work.
I was taking ibu before rides, but I got to wondering-maybe I shouldn't do that, as it might cause me not to feel pain, and my body might not be warning me to stop doing whatever it was that was causing the pain. Kind of like missing a warning sign that you are risking injury. Whadda ya think?
I think you'd still feel pain, especially if it was enough pain that it was a warning sign. CAVEAT: I'm not a doctor, and I don't play one on TV, either. On the other hand, I'm immortal -- so far, anyway.Originally Posted by freeranger

Naah. It's not potent enough to worry about it. Now if you were talking about Percocet....
Pre-exercise ibuprofen is beneficial. Stay hydrated!
If you take lots of the stuff, you might consider getting yourself some Prilosec OTC to protect that aging stomach of yours.
Something a little stronger, Naproxen.
I've never been bothered with pain from riding so I seldom take anything.
Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
-- Antonio Smith
Nothing here. I have always liked to feel whatever it is my body wants me to feel. That said, if I had something chronic like a knee or something, then I would. So far so good though.
I heard ibuprofen was a diuretic, can someone verify that fact and my spelling while they are at it....
I avoid painkillers of any sort before a ride. I don't want anything to mask any damage I may be doing. Pain is a warning to stop.
No, it isn't.Originally Posted by biffstephens
Caffeine, however, can make you pee.
Yes, if it does not bother your stomach, and it's OK with the doctor.
Everything is more comfortable. Your legs, your joints, the seat, your hands, neck, everything. You can probably ride harder and longer. But if you do it all the time you may ruin your stomach. If the doc says OK Tylenol might be better for your body.
Plenty of people have no choice and have to take some kind of pain killers before any exercise including bike riding. Rheumatoid arthritis patients may need to do this to keep moving.
The only one who really can give the total OK is your doc. Don't take more than he suggests.
You're probably thinking taking it before the ride gives it time to start working. You are exactly correct.
If it's a long ride, follow the instructions and take more on the ride if it's time.
Caffeine has a pain killing effect too. But it's tough on the stomach with ibuprofen. Tylenol is better if you have any caffeine.
I've been on NSAID's for years (meloxicam right now) for the cratered discs in my back, so my anti-inflammatories are already hard at work before I start my ride. Of course, I probably wouldn't need them for my recumbent ride, if I didn't need them just to walk out and get on my bike.

They told me it's ok to post mileage over in the commuting forum, so you'll probably find me there these days.
I take it for the 2+ hour rides, not to mask pain (which two pills won't do much about) but rather to try to avoid getting stiff muscles. I'm plagued by muscle stiffness and that alone can end a ride for me.
A lot of athletes take ibuprofen before athletic events to keep natural swelling and aches and pains down. One caveat though, excessive and prolonged use of ibuprofen has been linked to liver problems so check with the doctor if you use it. (It's been a while so I can't tell you how much is excessive and how long is prolonged.)
I think that the effectiveness of medications goes down with time/usage. I try to avoid taking anything untill I need it. If you take it because you "might" need it, how much will you need 5 years from now?
I read recently, don't ask me where but it seemed legit, that the inflamation after exercise is your body repairing the damage and building up the tissue. I have a script for Naproxon but have only been using it when really sore. But... I'm not a doc, don't play one on tv, and haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn in years.
I would agree with 2Many, if you can tolerate them and your Dr is cool with it, go for it.
I find Advil funny sometimes so I won't take it before a ride... I do take Aleve (naproxyn. Thank you George) as needed after a ride or before bed 9after a ride).
I don't like to take any meds other my Claritin before a ride.
I do have one cup of coffee. I sweat it out long before it becomes a danger.

What's the best algorithm for evaluating a mathematical expression? I'd like to be able to optimize this a little in the sense that I may have one formula with various variables, which I may need to evaluate hundreds of times using different variables. So basically if I can initially parse the formula so that it is optimized in some way, and I can then pass in the variables to this optimized version as many times as I need, each time it produces a result for me.
I'll be writing this in either Delphi or C#. I have already written something similar by using the shunting yard algorithm, but each time I need to calculate the same formula, I'm having to go through the parsing stage. There must be a better way to do this.
