Find the Fun in Pinellas County
February 25th, 2012 categories: Lifestyle
Find the Fun is a new iPhone app for finding active things to do in Pinellas County. You can use the GPS to find things around where you are or you can enter a zip code or city. The app tells you what's happening, where it is, if there's a cost and even if its pet friendly so you can bring your dog along. This isn't about events, it's about activities – from The Pinellas Trail (all 34 miles of it) to golf courses. It also tells you where you can find produce and markets. Speaking of that – it's Saturday Morning Market time today from 9 to 2 in downtown St Petersburg.
If you don't have an iPhone, you can get the information at www.findthefunnow.com

This was a fun piece inspired by the mandala kick I've been on for a while. Who knows where these things come from?
I used lots of (unplanned) techniques here, including painting and experimenting with multiple layers and effects for the background. The freedom to experiment with all the techniques is what makes endeavors like this fun.

Teeth 2007 review
Come on…?! Another one??Again with the killer vaginas?
Yes, it would seem there aren't enough movies to scare us to death about the female genitals, after "Killer Pussy", someone thought it would be a great idea to get an American version over the sea, that guy would be Mitchell Lichtenstein and said movie would be no other that the 2007 "Teeth", because F8ck it, there can never be enough movies about killer vaginas.
Although, unlike it's Japanese cousin "Killer Pussy", which was a straight up goofy comedy soft core porno ( see my review on that infamous little mess here: Killer Pussy Review), I can give "Teeth" the credit for actually trying to tell a good story, despite the fact that it's at its hearth still somewhat of a comedy
The story revolve around Dawn, a nice little high school girl with somewhat of an unusual problem.
She has vowed abstinence with her group of Glee rejects, oh, and her snatch has a nasty case of the munchies, and given that the damn thing has a pretty good set of teeth, I'm fairly certain this movie's gonna get interesting.
Why does she have a set of razor sharp teeth in her privates? It's never really explained, although the constant shots of the huge nuclear reactors behind her house might mean something, who knows?
So Dawn goes on with her poor little abstinent life with constant temptations and advances from her creepy half-brother. Yes, it seems the premise is not the only thing that Teeth shares with its predecessor, they also have a character in common, seems that Creeper from killer pussy has a long lost brother in America, who knew? Not kidding, they're practically the same guys character-wise, except that we spend more time with the brother to realize how much of a d8ck he is.
So, personal thoughts on this movie? Surprisingly I liked it. Yeah, go figure, me liking a movie about killer genitals, who knew?
But seriously, if you can put the ridiculousness of the premise behind you, you'll find a pretty subtle and good comedy/horror. The pace was pretty good, except for the first few scenes that talked about god and purity and bla bla bla, we'll get to that later, but for the rest, pretty good.
The characters were far less two-dimensional that I expected and had actually emotions and were able to emote them without having it feeling forced. A scene where the acting and the dialogue really amazed me was in the third act of the movie, after the father and the son had a fight and end up talking, the tension and the dialogue were there, and it is a hearth touching scene where the brother, instead of being a major d8ck like usual, actually opens up despite being in utter and complete control of the situation, and we get a creepy and honest revelation to why his character is so tormented inside. It's pretty amazing if a movie can make me feel sorry, even for a microsecond, for such a despicable and cruel character as American Creeper.
But for all the good this movie does in the second and third act, my god was the first one a drag.
Preachy as hell, just enough to make you wonder whether they were parodying the whole 'purity ring' and all that religious nonsense or if they were serious. Here the thing though: I don't have a problem with people who want to wait until the wedding to give in, hell, if it makes them happy, go for it, see if I care. However, this whole purity ring campaign bullcr8p and the religious aspect just manage to press the wrong buttons with me. And throughout the entire movie, Dawn never seems to get rid of her anti sex t-shirt, now granted, it's pretty ironic given her condition. But the first act doesn't focus on that how so ever. So it's pretty easy to forget the whole 'Killer in the pants' thing and just watch two hyper religious teens giving each other lovely eyes and talking about how awesome god is and how evil sex is, which really drags on and on and on and on…
Thankfully the accidental castrations break in like trumpets to a fanfare to welcome the second act, but until then, useless teenage drama, the worse kind. What I'm trying to say with this, is that being abstinent and believing in god is like having a d8ck, it's great to have one and it's great to be proud of it, but please, don't shove it in our face, k?
The editing is also really weird, I know it's a weird thing to bring up in a movie about a killer box, but it was one of those few things that really bugged me with this movie. Some scenes would go nowhere and characters would show up at places at random without any explanations.
But with all this aside, great movie, although it could have been a little less graphic on the castrations in my opinion, I've seen BME Pain Olympics, and I must say that Teeth wasn't far off. Pretty painful to watch at some points even, might I add (for a guy).
So here's the big question, which is better? "Teeth" or "Killer Pussy"?
Well "Teeth" is a ok movie that I genuinely enjoyed about a girl trying to find a way to overcome her problem, "Killer pussy" was bat sh8t insane and had me laughing my ass off for all the wrong reasons.
So which is better? Teeth. Which is funnier? "Killer pussy". Pick your poison. All I'm afraid of is when the darn things will learn to talk, now THAT will be terrifying…(Obvious foreshadowing is obvious)
Things I've learned from "Teeth":
- America is weird as f8ck
- I never want to be a gynecologist, it's like the 'Killer vagina movie' equivalent to a black guy in a horror movie…
- Both Japanese and American creepers got the same resolutions in both movie…weird
- The line between being a hero and being a d8ck is very thin.

Yeah, I liked this movie, but I wish they've done it with a little better taste. They didn't need to show the castrations in such gory detail. In fact, it'd probably be more distributing without showing all that since then we'd imagine something far worse. The actress was amazing though.ReplyDeleteReplies
true, it made me cringe at times, but still overall a nice movie, just wished they would have focused more on the killer box rather than all the teenage drama, the first act really felt like someone telling a joke and forgot the punchline.Delete
and yeah, she is amazing, although all the actors really pulled it off pretty well.

Learning a ton from these neat arcselti.
Also, what i think i noticed is the bread you usually get is a lot denser than the bread in the netherlands (at least the ones i buy). That turkey sammich is always an entire meal! Yum! But yeah also a tad sweeter for sure.
me and my friends met with david recently in a coffee house where he tried to convince us of his ludicrousmessiah claims. it ended with him getting annoyed with us not believing him. not a very effective psyop slightly confusing 3 hippies the only person he is really effecting is a kindly new age healer who has taken pity on him. this will not bring down the counter culture poor shayler has recently dicovered hallucinagens and has now gone a bit bonkers hope he gets well soon
I love how there is scientific evidence that it's a placebo and people still argue with you. Some are just so desperate. I can't believe people think that eating 500 calories a day is healthy. You should have a minimum of 1200 and most people need more based on age/height/activity/weight. Yeah, you'll lose weight fast, but it's starving your body and as soon as you eat like a normal human, it's going to come right back. Ugh. So many diet fads, but this HCG is one of the more obnoxious ones.
Also mir gefallen alle Farben sehr gut. Da ist es wirklich schwer sich zu entscheiden. Denke aber, dass es wohl 674 Jungle Gem ist. Wirklich ein toller Gewinn, den man gerne abstauben möchte. :)lg PokSa
Just wanted to add that I will never buy another Nordic Track product again. I emailed them to try and get a service person and they never returned my email.
Gaming private computers are not as challenging as you might maybe assume, and doing your personal gaming personal pc isn't as challenging as lots of persons would make you consider. Seeing which you previously have a distinct software in thoughts when building your really own gaming device, you'll find really only three principal parts you've got to need to feel concerned about, and every little thing else is truly secondary: the processor, movie card, and RAM.

The Player Who Hit One Out of the Park

Curt Flood's Fight for Free Agency in Professional Sports
By Brad Snyder
Viking. 472 pp. $25.95
Surely none of Major League Baseball's franchise owners wish it was 1970, when the sport's contracts still bound players to their teams in perpetuity. That year, the African American outfielder Curt Flood filed suit to challenge the paragraph known as the reserve clause, rather than let himself be traded from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Philadelphia Phillies as what Brad Snyder calls "chattel property" in "A Well-Paid Slave," his captivating new biography of Flood.
Under the modified emancipation that emerged from Flood's sacrifice of $100,000 in salary (and the remainder of what proved to be his last productive year as a player), player compensation has skyrocketed. But though one big-league executive after another testified at the time that granting players their freedom would ruin competitive balance by luring the best players to the richest teams, since then the sport has experienced unprecedented success.
In contrast to the half-century before the trial, when just four stockpiled franchises won 63 percent of American and National League pennants, 23 have played in at least one World Series in the 35 years since. That the value of the average franchise has increased more than 30-fold during that time (for example, the Cleveland Indians sold for $9 million in 1972 and $323 million in 2000, according to the SportsBusiness Journal) is not an unrelated development.
Yet the engine for all this success remains a shadowy and near-forgotten figure. An inveterate partygoer and nightclub habitue, Flood suffered from a fondness for vodka and scotch that prematurely curtailed his career. Talented with the camera and sketch pen, he fraudulently allowed portraits painted from his works to be passed off as his own. He chose not to attend the day the justices heard his case, disappearing to a Spanish island and hearing the court's ruling a day late by telephone. In the years that followed, he sank into alcoholism, was arrested and deported from the tiny Iberian nation of Andorra, and returned home to Oakland blacklisted by baseball, drunk, broke and afraid of the dark: hardly an inspiring symbol of anything.
Part of the problem, too, was the decision itself. Flood's challenge was ultimately denied by a Supreme Court that became star-struck by its contact with the national game. Rather than buttress his 5 to 4 majority opinion with cogent legal arguments, Justice Harry Blackmun spent days of personal research time larding it with an irrelevant history of baseball, including his own list of 79 all-time greats. Justice Potter Stewart threatened to withhold support unless a personal favorite, Eppa Rixey, was included. The issue at hand was all but forgotten. "The justices were not machines; they were men," Snyder writes. "And baseball turns men -- even ones with life tenure -- into boys." Much as Flood sacrificed money for principle, Snyder left a legal career to undertake this project without a publisher. Anyone with a sociological interest in American sport should be glad he did.
Writing with dispatch and grace, he places Flood's challenge to baseball squarely where it belongs, as the final radical act of the 1960s civil rights movement. Self-educated, Flood had read far more than most players, managed to integrate his neighborhood, occasionally visited Mississippi and other flash points, but otherwise was forced by his profession to remain far from the fray. On the day of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, he was playing center field in San Francisco. "I should be there instead of here," he said.
When the opportunity arose to challenge baseball, Flood was ready. He used his portrait-painting to justify his need to remain in St. Louis and found a willing ally in Marvin Miller, executive director of the players' union, who'd emerged as the first successful labor organizer in sports. An extraordinary scene in which Flood pleads his case before baseball's player representatives, asking them for moral support and crucial funding for his lawyer, former Supreme Court justice Arthur Goldberg, reveals just how removed from the game's economic and social issues many stars were, even in that politically charged era.
It also provides a telling glimpse at the idealism behind Flood's action. "Flood took the podium and punctured the players' skepticism," Snyder writes. "He was not threatening to retire as a negotiating tactic. He was going to sue baseball, with or without their help. He explained that he was not doing it for the money. He was doing it because the reserve clause as it currently existed was inhumane and unjust. This was a question not only about how the business of baseball should be conducted, but also of human dignity." When Commissioner Bowie Kuhn, who feared any disruption of the existing order, offered a settlement that would have traded him to the team of his choice, Flood held fast.
The case bankrupted and about ruined Flood. But with the help of opinion-makers such as Howard Cosell and Red Smith, it shifted sentiment away from the Lords of Baseball. That set in motion changes and compromises that created a blueprint for the current system of limited free agency. By then, players understood. A few even thanked Flood for helping make them multimillionaires.
And when Marvin Miller would make his annual visit to each team in spring training, he would conclude his presentation with the same words: "Curt Flood got you these things."

1. In a pot bring 3 cups of water to boil. Add millet and sea salt. Let it cook, occasionally stir to see if millets are half open. Remove the pot from stove, scoop out the millet from the pot with a wire fine mesh, tap a few times to get the water out and then place in a bowl, Pics. 1 and 2.

If you're in sales operations, then you're in an ideal position to initiate a win-loss program. If you're in marketing, then you're in a great position to increase your value add to sales by helping drive a win-loss program in collaboration with sales operations. Here are a few of the things that best-in-class companies are doing as part of their win-loss analysis process:
- Quarterly review calls (or even weekly) to review select wins and losses (a fact-finding culture is key here, and not fault-finding)
- Roundtable sessions to discuss wins and losses, including root cause analysis and associated corrective actions
- Review of specific wins and losses with the buyer, conducted by an objective team either from within the organization, or ideally, by a 3rd party
- Establish accountability for this process. (apply a RACI model and ensure global continuity; tap into your Sales Excellence team, marketing's data analytics team, and your field marketing organization)
- Develop, execute and govern the process (collect data from multiple sources, ensure an objective party conducts the analysis, and focus on "fact-finding", not "fault-finding")
- Deliver actionable recommendations as a result of this process. (e.g., better identify the buying team as part of account-based marketing activities; improve allocation of sales support resources to target the best opportunities (check out industry benchmarks); rapidly communicate competitive insight to your sales team through social collaboration)

The difference between her now and 3 months ago is astonishing! She's walking all over, on the verge of running. She still keeps her hands up for balance, so her run is really a trot. She moves over, around, through, and under obstacles, which can be hilarious. And, as Miss K, her old daycare teacher put it, she is determined! When my Livie Lu sets her mind to something, there is absolutely no stopping her! Case in point: our recent visit to the Please Touch Museum when Olivia discovered the grocery store. She had it in her mind to put all the cans on the shelf in her cart, which she mostly did. However, on each shelf, located behind plexiglass, is the Model Can which is a way for kids and parents to know where to put each item once you're done. Well, Miss Thang started crying when she realized she couldn't get to the Model Cans... Mommy has a long row to hoe with this tiny tot! I'm posting the video (sans meltdown), which was taken 2 days shy of 15 months. Enjoy!
At 15 months, Olivia...
weighs 20 lbs. 12 oz. (although I don't think the measurement was accurate)
is 31 1/4 inches long
wears size 4 diapers
wears 12 months & 18 months clothing (especially if she needs to wear pants!)
eats food (no more baby food!) - favorites are 'nanas, hard-boiled eggs, & yogurt
feeds herself with a spoon... with about 50% accuracy
drinks water and soymilk from a sippy cup (we are graduating to a no-handles sippy cup tomorrow)
plays independently with toys
loves books and balls
loves Yo Gabba Gabba & Elmo
gives high 5s
blows kisses
says hi and bye on her own and when asked
pretends to eat play food, make pretends phone calls & waltzes around with purses on each arm
can touch/show her head, hair, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet, and belly!)
says either by independently asking for or labelng somewhere between 40 and 50 words
most common words: 'nana, Melmo, book, ball, Mommy, Dada, 'nack, wawa, shoe, coocuh (cookie), kack kack (quack quack), roar
counts 1-2, followed by a whole lot of rhythmic babble!
reads books by pointing at the pictures and saying something (real or babble)
will point to large letters and intentionally babble... which sounds a lot like one-two (lol)
understands at least twice that number & follows many 2 step directions
follows routine directions, simple or complex
sings songs with recognizable tones, rhythm & hand motions (loves Row Row!)
can give animal sounds for a cat, dog, lion, monkey, bear, duck, cow, and sheep

|The bday celebrant with her parents (Ate Dang & Kuya Joeseph)
Apart from wedding, one of my favorite celebrations is birthday party. I love attending to children's parties and I feel like a child when I see clowns, colorful balloons and magic shows.
Nowadays balloons come in different shapes and sizes and the magic show I've seen in Unah's party execute different techniques and very entertaining.
|Family pic with the celebrant
|Under the sea theme party :)
Sugar swing!!! This 6 inch - 4 layer cake on top with cupcakes taste so good. It taste just right. Not too sweet. I'm not in a very good mood that day because of my migraine and eating sweets depends on my mood. I tried just two cupcakes since I'm anxious to get fat.
The cake table setting is so adorable plus the blue and white balloon arc adds charm - overall two thumbs up!
|Some charming beach bucket for kiddos
|Super cute table setting with balloon fish as a center piece
|Cutey octopus balloon
After the magic show, here comes the puppet show and then the bubble show. For some reasons I don't like puppets. I feel scared with their looks and when I look at their eyes; they look so real as if they are alive – so I'm scared. And puppet show for me is tedious. Super long and its repetitive.
On the contrary I didn't get bored because the puppet always cracking jokes. Now I love puppet shows simply because it made me smile. Having a vacation and attending to a birthday party with super nice magic/puppet shows are so much fun.

Started in 2006, I tried to learn HTML & CSS by studying the source code of my brother's website. In addition I learned PHP in december to support the webmaster team of our school communication platform. This way I learned about databases (MySQL in particular), clientside Javascript and software in general. As a result, I had lots of project ideas and spent my whole leisure into different projects.
Based on my interest in algorithmic problems, I learned about math, data structures and other computer science related stuff. I recognized that learning a different programming language might help me in understanding further programming concepts: I decided to learn python. The syntax of python is really something I love up to now. Learning new programming paradigms such as functional and aspect-oriented was also very helpful.
In July 2009 my time at school ended with my A levels and I was sure about studying computer science. However, in Austria we have to go either to the army for half a year or attend a civilian service for 9 months. For me, the second was the better option and I became an emergency assistant. Beside the work I continued my interest in software and finished some old projects. However, time was limited since my work was pretty stressful. Between civilian service and my studies I did different jobs and volunteered at the Red Cross. Computer science was not really the thing I spent the most time on.
When beginning my studies, I was able to focus completely into my field of interest and I cannot describe this period more precisely, because there are really lots of technical concepts I learned during that time. I did not have time to do something fun at the end of my studies which gave me a hard time.
However, my master's degree in CS with a focus on IT security and algorithm theory is about to end. In May 2015 I started my works on my master thesis; a concurrent SAT solver in Go with applications in differential cryptanalysis.
My next goal will be a milestone in my largest software project so far. It focuses on typesetting and typography.
Technologies and topics I was involved with more than the average (or currently are):
PHP, python, Lua, LaTeX & TeX, TWiki & Foswiki, Inkscape, Apache, differential cryptanalysis, Scratch MIT, digital typesetting, …

Flatland is an internationally acclaimed contemporary art gallery based in Amsterdam. Guided by its core values of independent attitude, cosmopolitan outlook and audacious thinking––the gallery seeks to push boundaries and exceed expectations with its selection of artists, media and oeuvres. From it's base in Amsterdam, Flatland operates on an international scale due to its various activities which revolve around a programme of both art fairs and exhibitions in institutions around the world. The gallery has gained recognition for not only its work in contemporary photography but also in film, video, installations, sculptures, painting and drawings.
Based in the heart of Amsterdam, the gallery is located near Foam, the Rijksmuseum and Stedelijk Museum. The gallery participates in different art fairs such as Art Rotterdam, Paris Photo, Art Brussels, Code Art Fair, Vienna Contemporary and participates in festivals such as Unseen photo fair, Amsterdam and Amsterdam Art Weekend.
As part of its roster of artists Flatland Gallery represents internationally established artists such as Jocelyn Lee, Johan Grimonprez, Guy Yanai, Erwin Olaf, Ruud van Empel and Paolo Ventura. Likewise the gallery represents young emerging photographers such as South African Katharine Cooper and Gioia de Bruijn and has attracted talented artists such as Stelios Karamanolis and Alice Browne. Flatland regularly invites other artists to work with the gallery such as Alec Soth, Martin Parr, Ina Jang, Kim Boske, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin and others.
Early years of the gallery
One of the first exhibitions of Marlene Dumas and the gallery was in 1984, The artist as a young girl (simultaneously with one of her first museum shows Ons land licht lager dan de zee at Centraal Museum, Utrecht). Another highlight is one of the first exhibitions of photographer Erwin Olaf, in 1987, who has been with the gallery ever since. In 2012 Olaf received the Johannes Vermeer Award 2011 - the state prize for the arts - for the high quality of his entire oeuvre. In 2018 The Rijksmuseum acquired 450 photographs by Olaf for its permanent collection. Another highly renowned name today in the field of photography is Desiree Dolron whose work Flatland Gallery showed at the first edition of Paris Photo in 1997 and for who Flatland organized in conjunction with the Groninger Museum in 1998 her first solo exhibition behind the eye. Other early exhibitions at Flatland Gallery include shows for leading artists like Erik Andriesse, Rob Birza, F. Franciscus, Ronald Ophuis and Wim Izaks (to whom the Wim Izaks Award is allocated).
Video, Film, Installations
Since the eighties Flatland Gallery experimented with the convergence of art with film, music, video and multimedia installations. As one of the first galleries in the Netherlands Flatland brought in 1997 the club and art scene together at the KunstRai (nowadays Art Amsterdam) with the installation The White Room, Part II, by pioneer of veejay-ing, the artist Micha Klein and photographer Danielle Kwaaitaal. Other multimedia artists at Flatland were Dutch pioneer of video art Lydia Schouten, A.P. Komen & Karen Murphy and video artist Rob Johannesma. In 2015 Flatland Gallery introduced Erwin Olaf's newest body of work, aptly titled "Waiting": a two-channel video installation of 50 min. each, screened in a gray module that is designed specifically for the show and set in the centre of Flatland Gallery.
Recent developments
Since 2005 Flatland represents artist Ruud van Empel. Beginning 2009 four solo-exhibitions of Van Empel are held in New York, Tokyo, Düsseldorf and Paris. Van Empel participated in numerous group exhibitions including, in 2008/09, the prestigious exhibition Diana and Actaeon, The Forbidden glimpse of the naked body at the Museum Kunst Palast in Düsseldorf, curated by Beat Wismer, Sandra Badelt and Mattijs Visser.
In 2007 sculpture artist Carolein Smit joined Flatland Gallery. In 2010 she received a request from the prestigious Manufacture National de Céramique de Sèvres in France. A large solo show was held at the Kunsthal Rotterdam beginning 2010. In 2011 her work was included in the Olbricht Collection, Berlin. Carolein Smit exhibited twice in Maison Rouge in Paris. Her work is also included in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London where she received a solo show in 2018.
Dutch documentary photographer Rob Hornstra has been with the gallery since 2008. Hornstra's five year project on Sochi (The Sochi Project) has culminated in 2013 in worldwide exposure, from Time Magazine, Euronews to the Russian news site Lenta.ru.
In 2010 it was young artist Jaap Scheeren who joined the gallery. In 2011 he won the Bouw en Beeld Award that resulted in a museum show in the Cobra Museum, Amstelveen.
In 2014 the gallery is also proud to represent Katharine Cooper, a South African photographer who received the Photography prize of the Academie des beaux-arts' for her documentary on the white minority in South Africa 'White Africans. a journey to the homeland'. In 2016 her work in the Middle Eastern regions is published by Rocher, Peuples persécutés d'Orient.
In 2015 Flatland started working with Dutch photographer Anoek Steketee, who is nominated for the 2015 Prix de Rome. Steketee exhibited her work recently in the 'On the Move photography' exhibition at the Stedelijk and FOAM: a trans-medial project, about the process of reconciliation in post-genocide Rwanda, based around a popular radio soap. In 2015 she was also offered the assignment of the Rijksmuseum 'Document Nederland'. The project of Steketee was exhibited in 2017 in the Philipsvleugel of The Rijksmuseum.
Another notable Flatland artist is the energetic Israeli painter Guy Yanai (1977). Yanai lives and works from Tel Aviv. Influenced by a variety of 'Masters of Art', from Matisse to David Hockney, (yet also by contemporary photography, television, paintings, and advertisements) Yanai portrays an intimate and personal environment in his paintings that include ordinary everyday items and simplified forms in vibrant colours. Being on the edge between figuration and abstraction, the work is nearly timeless, between real and fake, consequence and insignificance.
Publishing House
Additionally Flatland holds its own publishing-house. Artist books that have been produced and designed by graphic designers Gebroeders Silvestri from the Netherlands include: Parental Advisory: New Revelations, Jans Muskee; Hope/ Rain, Erwin Olaf; Barbara Broekman. Leading designer Swip Stolk designed the artists books Il faut cultiver notre jardin, Hennie van der Vegt; The calling of F. Franciscus, for F. Franciscus and the artist book Mary Waters. In 2015 Katharine Cooper's book White Africans, A Journey To The Homeland is published by Flatland, designed by the Swiss based designer Julie Joliat. The catalogue includes text from Jean-Claude Carrière and Phillip Prodger and was launched during Art Brussels 2015.
Besides artist books, Flatland published three times a year The Flatland Journal with contributions from art critics of Le Monde and The New York Times. The circulation was exclusive but nonetheless covered a broad, influential spectrum of readership around the world.
Flatland Foundation
In 2007 Martin Rogge started a foundation to create a vibrant photography and art collection of museum quality. To achieve this objective the choices made by the Flatland Foundation are based upon the originality, authenticity, artistic appeal and quality of the work of artist photographers. The collection consists of Erwin Olaf, Damien Hirst, Ruud van Empel, Sam Taylor-Wood, Carla van de Puttelaar, Nazif Topçuoğlu, Desiree Dolron, Misha de Ridder, Sally Mann, Frank van der Salm, Hans op de Beeck, Hellen van Meene, The Sanchez Brothers, Keith Carter, Cristina Garcia Rodero, Nan Goldin, Rob Hornstra, Mark Seliger, Thomas Struth, Miles Aldridge, Zhang Xiaogang and many other artists.
Owner Martin Rogge comes from a musical family, his grandmother and father played the piano professionally and his uncle played the violin in the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. At the age of nine he started studying the violin. Before he started the gallery at the age of 28 in 1983, Martin played the violin, saxophone and keyboards as a professional musician in an orchestra and an ensemble as well as in a rock band, a jazz band and a folk band. Martin Rogge was a member of the jury of the Sony World Photography Awards 2009 and a jury member of the Black and White Spider Awards. In 2013 he became a jury member of the International Kontinent Photography Fair award. Martin manages artists' careers and carries out art advisory functions for private, corporate and museum collections. In 2015 Fiona van Schendel joined the gallery as Director. She holds a MA degree in history from the University of Amsterdam and worked as historian at the International Institute for Social History, during which she published her book on plantations in the Dutch East Indies and received a PhD fellowship in international labour relations. Prior to working for Flatland she worked as an independent journalist/writer for newspapers and magazines.
The gallery also works with external professionals. Julie Joliat is a Swiss graphic designer based in Zurich. Her portfolio includes "pig 05049" with Christien Meindertsma, work for the house of Hermès and catalogues for l'école des beaux-arts de paris.
Flatland also worked with Constance Gounod, who assisted at Paris Photo. Constance previously worked for the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, the Hayward, London, and the Saatchi Gallery in London. Today she is head of the pressdepartment of galery Perrotin. David Muehlfeld is responsible for the design of the new Flatland Journal. From thousands of applicants for the Design 21/Unesco design competition, Muehlfeld received twice (in 2007 and 2009) the honourable mention. Connected with the gallery and of invaluable value is Paul Bonnike, who heads his own agency Bonnike executive recruitment and is a valuable partner for Flatland in a wide range of matters. For silver gelatin prints the gallery loves working with printing specialist Peter Svenson from Aap-Lab, Amsterdam and Philippe Bonneau from Cadre en Seine (the former atelier Choi), Paris. Jasper Droogers (Huis Hout Maakt) is a partner in building art installations and art handling. Droogers receives assignments from esteemed parties such as Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam; Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam; Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam and Internationale Architectuur Biennale, Rotterdam.
Flatland Gallery is member of the KKR (special loan agreement for art buyers) of The Mondriaan Foundation.

Torch Light, Bulb Application in Android Phone
Flashlight Application in Android Market
I recently purchased my first Android phone. Android phone amazed me with it's variety of useful applications. There are thousands of Android applications in the Android Market and some of them are very very useful applications that you must have on your Android phone. Many good Android applications are free of cost and you can download and install them from Android Market. Android Market is available in the form of application on your Android phone. You can download Android applications of your choice from there. You may also get Android Applications form the desktop version of Android Market. Today, we are going to talk about the torch light application, that is the flash light application for your Android phone. This flash light application will help you to search the path in total darkness. Let's have a look of this Android Application.
Tiny Flashlight + LED
Nikolay Ananiev developed this Tiny Flashlight + LED application. This flashlight application works as nothing but the torch of your Android phone. My previous simple basic mobile had a torch and I was missing it in my Android phone. This application solved my problem of torch light.
This is one very interesting application. Download and install it from the Android Market. After installing this application on your Android phone, press it's icon to open this application. There will be Screen Light type of torch light in front of you. Press the center coil like animated image and bright light will spread on all over the screen of your Android phone. You can use this light in darkness. Now, it's a time to do something more with this application. You just have to press the button situated at the top right corner of the screen.
There are seven options in front of you. Out of these seven options, five options are about to change the type of torch and remaining one options is about settings and other is about the advertisement.
The first type of torch light is Screen Light, that you have already seen. The second type of torch light is Warning Lights. There are two light bulbs and they alternatively switch On and Off, so they are called as warning lights. The next torch light is Light Bulb. Scroll over your Android touch screen and you can see the change in the intensity of the Bulb. Then there are Color Lights. Scroll a finger on your Android touch screen phone and you can see the flash light in different colors. Finally, there is the Police Light blinking in different colors. The Settings contain the options to customize your Flash Light application experience. Here you can set alert modes and default light source.
Billions of people already installed this application in their Android phone and about million people rated this Android application, and it's average rating is about 4.5. Very few applications in Android Market have this type of rating. This rating itself tells us the quality of this Android Application.
I hope you found this hub helpful. You may like to share this information with your friends by using sharing options at the end of this hub.

But to Natan Sharansky and the dissidents locked in Stalinist prison cells, Jackson was a hero. He was the architect of the 1974 Jackson-Vinik amendment which helped produce the 1975 Helsinki agreement and the human rights "basket". By attacking the Soviet Union directly, Jackson eroded its legitimacy and emboldened the dissidents. He did all that in the teeth of opposition from the New York Times, the Carter-McGovern Democrats, the Kissinger realists and ostpolitik German socialists, all of whom attacked Jackson, as Muir does, as a cold war warrior. Ignoring them all, he established the idea that what goes on inside societies should be as important to the development of foreign policy as relations between societies. That's a progressive idea, not a neocon idea. (Is Gordon Brown a neocon for taking the stance he has on Robert Mugabe?)
To boot, Jackson was a New Deal-Fair Deal Democrat who attacked the "obscene profits" of the oil companies. He stood for civil rights, environmental protections (well ahead of his time) and the public control of electric and nuclear power. We Eustonian social democrats may disagree with much Jackson said and did, but would not share Muir's seeming disgust at Jackson's opposition to totalitarianism.

Police in Jamaica apparently had to fire their guns in the air to disperse a lynch mob intent on killing a young gay man on a college campus. He made the mistake of hitting on the wrong guy. Yeah, that sounds like a capital offense.

I saw this Alexander Blouse at the Burda website and fell in love with the pretty ruffled sleeves and peplum. So I purchase it immediately at USD$4.50 and downloaded the pattern.
Before I sew, I read some reviews from fellow sewers who had sewn up the blouse and it was really helpful. I made at size 34. Changes that I've made after reading the reviews:
1) Added a wedge of paper to the sleeve where the front and back join so that both front and back pieces are on straight grain.
2) Cut the Back piece on fold as I eliminated the back buttons. Hence, I've removed the 5/8" seam allowance from the back bodice.
3) Added 1" width to both front pieces so that I'll have about 1" overlap along the front because a lot of sewers feedback that the front button areas show some skin. Hence, I also added 1" to the front facing pieces.
4) I remove one pleat each from the front and back as I forgot to cut the waist portion bigger since I usually got one size bigger for the hip area.
5) For the peplum, I also added 1" to the front so that I will not have a gap in front since the bodice has extended by 1". I also lengthen the peplum by 1". Because of my mistake of cutting the bodice smaller at the waist, I had to lengthen my peplum bait to accommodate the bigger waistline.
6) I also omit the belt since I don't think I'll need it. I usually use a black belt that I already have or some grosgrain ribbon.
My fabric is some turquoise blue cotton that I got from Spotlight. I love the blouse and very happy with the color as I don't have this blue in my wardrobe.
I'm not sure if it's my poor sewing skills but the sleeve really curl up and stick out alot. I've tried to pick the threads and sew no less than 3 times but it still curl! So frustrating! And it is also too "flappy" if there is such word. Cause I feel like my sleeves are flying and flapping when I walk. So I made a 1" pleats in the middle of the sleeves and tack it down. It looks more tapered now and less ruffly. But what to do, I got fat arms and need to hide them.
My cotton is slightly stiff so I didn't need to add any interfacing for the peplum. The bodice looks a little short on me so next time, I'll also added 1" to the bodice. Cut the bodice and peplum to be one size bigger at waist. Make the sleeve less wide.
That's it. How does my blouse look? Its quite a easy pattern to sew after you get the measurement right. The shape is very feminine and looks really good with a pencil skirt.

Real World article
(written from a Production point of view)
(written from a Production point of view)
SF (once knows as SF Channel) or more commonly known as Sci-Fi Channel is an Australian subscription television channel. It is only available through satellite and cable subscription platforms such as Foxtel and Austar. SF specializes in playing Science Fiction and fantasy television programs. SF plays Star Trek episodes from all five series in syndication.
Since the Austar was assimilated by Foxtel in 2011, that nature of SF's continuation was in limbo. In 2013 it was announced that SF will discontinue broadcasting on the 31 December 2013 and will be replaced by a new channel called 'SyFy' which will begin broadcasting in early 2014.

, RABAT, October 8- A British tourist jailed in Morocco for "homosexual acts" returned to Britain on Tuesday to a tearful reunion with his family.
Ray Cole, 70, was last week sentenced to four months in jail after being arrested at a bus stop in central Marrakech in the company of
a Moroccan man in his 20s.
Cole told reporters he was "relieved" to be home after his flight landed in London.
His family earlier announced that Cole would be released after their lawyers lodged an appeal against his sentence.
"We would like to thank each and every one of you, here and in Morocco, who has helped our campaign to secure the release of our wonderful father," the family wrote on the online campaign page for Cole's release.
"We would also like to thank the Moroccan authorities for showing compassion."
Cole's Moroccan companion however remained in prison, according to the Moroccan Association of Human Rights.
The group said the Moroccan had denied any sexual relationship with Cole, but that images of them together were found on their mobile phones, leading to their sentencing.
The two initially became friends on Facebook, and were arrested on Cole's second visit to see his companion.
Homosexual acts are punishable by up to three years in prison in Morocco.
Cole's detention had caused an outcry on social media, complaints by rights groups and calls for tourists to boycott Morocco.
The prosecution of foreign nationals on such charges is rare, but Britain's foreign office advises gay travellers to be aware of the risk.
A spokesman said the foreign office had offered "full consular support throughout his case and continue to do so".
"We remain in close contact with his family," the spokesman said.

When I write well, it is quite literally an accident. My grip on the rules of grammar, agreement and literary devices is tenuous at best, so I try, test and type my thoughts until I stumble across a phrase that works. A good ear and the sharp eye of an editor are really all that ever makes this column worth a read.
Save for alliteration, defined as "the repetition of usually initial consonant sounds in neighboring words." I am always able to achieve alliteration.
And so it will be this week with a brief consideration of topics starting with the letter P.
Despite the policy differences that kept me from voting for President Obama, I have always been proud that he is our president – especially during national crisis and catastrophe, when his leadership and empathy rise to the challenge of the times.
We saw that again this past week with the president's reaction and resolve concerning the bombings in Boston.
I wanted to write this week's column on Sen. Angus King's first 100 days in office and proclaimed as much on a recent visit to this paper's newsroom. But Bill Nemitz beat me to the story, providing a 2,000-word account of King's first 100 in last Sunday's paper.
Nemitz did not steal my idea – he was probably in Washington working on the piece when I made my newsroom pronouncement. Nor can I be bitter about the lost opportunity because Nemitz did such a brilliant job with his piece.
My own assessment of Sen. King will take far fewer than 2,000 words.
Angus was a statesman the day he was sworn in, he has surrounded himself with a dedicated and talented staff, and he is doing the work it takes to be effective in Washington.
Angus will drive my partisan friends nuts, but he will be gracious and thoughtful about it. And he will find unexpected opportunities to lead.
THE PUGNACIOUS PAUL LePAGE
When you get elected governor, you take on great responsibility and the executive powers enumerated in our state constitution and outlined in our state statutes. But apparently there are very real, albeit unwritten, limitations on the chief executive's power when it comes to the Maine Department of Labor.
I have lived through some of it first hand, and it continues to amaze me. Items as routine as the decor in a lobby or a quick pep talk with department staff become matters of protest, federal review and front-page news.
Last month LePage invited unemployment hearing officers to the Blaine House to share concerns from employers about the hearing process. If the discussion went anything like my last lunch at the Blaine House, the food was delicious and the dialogue completely one-sided.
I can completely understand how the uninitiated can find the governor's passion for issues and capacity for dominating a conversation to be intimidating. But it does not mean that the Blaine House discussion, admittedly unconventional, was illegal or even improper.
As a former small-business owner and employer, I also understand the frustration with the unemployment hearing process.
Good employees are like gold and employers want to keep them on the job as long as possible, whereas bad apples need to be removed from the barrel as soon as possible.
Despite having been through the process several times, I still find it illogical that an employer should have to document and then defend the firing of the absent, tardy or uninspired.
Last week the governor announced the formation of a balanced, blue ribbon commission to look at Maine's unemployment insurance system and a cooperative approach with a review by the U.S. Department of Labor. That would have been the first step of a more conventional governor, but LePage is not cut from that cloth.
I am sure Paul LePage, ever the entrepreneur, would have preferred to fix the problem over blueberry cobbler at the Blaine House.
Unfortunately, governmental problems are rarely fixed that fast. But I hope LePage keeps trying and that state agency employees and stakeholders learn to stop taking offense.
The University of Southern Maine's School of Business Alumni Council's annual alumni reception and forum is on the business of politics. I will be appearing, along with Ted O'Meara and Jesse Knox, on a panel moderated by Barbara Rath.
The forum kicks off at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Glickman Library on USM's Portland campus. Visit www.usmsba.org to learn more.
As always, thank you for reading.
