In front of me is a brochure for the Driving Unlimited Academy, promising "Different, Better, Driver Training."
Yikes! My 15-year-old is about to become a 16-year-old and that means he's going to start driving in a couple of months. I thought this day might come along soon, once I noticed Sam is now taller than his dad. Now it's frighteningly close at hand.
So I am thinking about driving schools and I am thinking about cars for Sam to drive. And today, along comes a note from Consumer Reports suggesting a handful of good, safe and reliable used cars for teens.
CR hangs its hat not on racy designs and high performance, but instead pushes teen cars with anti-skid control, anti-lock brakes, and curtain air bags. Good crash-test scores are very important, too. And CR leans towards vehicles that score well in reliability studies.
All CR's are recommended vehicles scored well in CR's testing, have had average or better reliability, and performed well in government or insurance industry crash tests. They also have enough power to accelerate safely for merging, they have good brakes and they handle pretty well in emergencies.
The CR types are not big on trucks and large SUVs (sport-utility vehicles), arguing that they tend to have "clumsy handling, poor fuel economy, and their high centres of gravity make them more likely to roll over. Sports cars or other especially quick cars are another bad idea, with a higher rate of accidents than other cars and insurance rates to match.
Some of the latest recommendations for teen cars can be bought for less than $10,000 (US). Along those lines, keep in mind that the CR list below includes prices all in U.S. dollars.
That gives rise to another thought. With the strong Canadian loonies, used car buyers here also have the option of shopping south of the border without losing anything on the exchange rate. And importing a used car is much simpler than buying a new car in the U.S. and bringing it over the border.

Bearsden Vacation Packages
Bearsden is a popular place to head to in Greater Glasgow as some of the city's main attractions are close. Two destinations that should be on every visitor's list is the fabulous Dawsholm Park and the ever-popular Fossil Grove. Two other recommended attractions you'll find nearby Bearsden are Rothesay Dock and Xscape Braehead.
There are many natural gifts here as well, so make sure you enjoy the chance to get outdoors. Enjoy some of the tranquil parklands such as the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow.
Treat yourself to a new outfit, stock up on food or just window shop at nearby shopping hotspots such as the Braehead Shopping Centre in Glasgow.
Sports fans can spend an afternoon cheering on the Braehead Clan ice hockey team in winter and the Paisley Pirates at Braehead Arena, Glasgow, the sporting heart and soul of the city. When the full-time siren sounds, follow the stream of local sports obsessives to a nearby pub or bar for a post-match beer ot two.
When you're ready to slow down after enjoying the charms of Bearsden, check in to one of the area's convenient accommodation options. Take your pick from the Glasgow Pond Hotel, the Hilton Glasgow Grosvenor Hotel, or the Beardmore Hotel and Conference Centre, Clydebank.

Botswana Agates is a variety of Chalcedony. These beautiful polished gray stones can often reflect brownish striations depending on how it catches the light. This wonderful reflective characteristic makes this double Botswana Agate ring color soothing and comforting like a worn flannel. It has been said this stone's quiet energy is comforting and protective to those grieving a loss, providing inner strength. All I know is that it is really pretty, so any powers it provides will be a bonus!

Long time, no see. Yesterday (Saturday 15) we had snow and it's April. A surprise indeed but that's Finland for you. Never know what kind of spring there will be. The snow has now melted though.
Handle the details
Look up to the roof and see
Look up and you'll see a piece of art, all around the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Guess what
Is it rock or is a tree? At least it's abtract.
I'm proud to say that I've managed to keep this flower alive. The future is bright.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 made its way to AnTuTu benchmarks some days ago sporting record benchmark scores, telling us that the device is going to be a beast in terms of performance. Its "Edge" variant (SM-G925F) has now made an appearance on Geekbench, again with record breaking scores and confirmation of the chipset on board.
It's no secret that the Galaxy S6 is expected to feature the Exynos 7420 chipset with the Galaxy S6 and the S6 Edge, and that's exactly what the benchmark listing suggests. According to the Geekbench revelation, the smartphone will also be running Android 5.0.2 Lollipop out of the box, which is currently the latest version of Android (after Android 5.1).
The smartphone managed to score 1,495 points in the single-core test and a seemingly remarkable 5,375 points in the multi core test. It is said that these scores could destroy even the strongest of competitors including some unlikely ones such as the Apple iPad Air 2.
As it stands now, Samsung wouldn't be too worried about not going with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset as its homegrown Exynos 7420 SoC appears to be doing quite well on its own. However, it's still too early to tell how this will reflect in real world usage, so we'll reserve judgment when the smartphone goes official.

In the delicious back and forth between Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie over the last 48 hours, the topic of giver and taker states -- which states get the most and least back from the government for their federal dollars -- came up.
Christie called out Paul over the Senator's attack that the Garden State governor loved federal money, noting that New Jersey was one of the biggest "giver" states while Kentucky was a top "taker" state.
He was exactly right. Check it out in Wednesday's "In Play", PostTV's brand, spanking new politics show, on Christie versus Rand.

More Eye Candy - Another Three New Kick-Ass Photos
by Alex Billington
January 13, 2009
Source: HitFix
I'm going to preface this by mentioning that the fifth issue of Mark Millar's actual Kick-Ass comic hit shelves a few weeks ago, and it is as "kick ass" as the title itself. I love this comic and I can't get enough of it. It took forever for the fifth issue to come out, but it was worth it. Go buy it! And once you've read it, come back here and check out three new photos via HitFix from Matthew Vaughn's live-action version. To be honest, it's really hard to appreciate these unless you really know the comic itself. That said, take a look if you must, but just know that this will actually kick ass in the end, despite what you may think now.
In addition to seeing Aaron Johnson as the title character Dave Lizewski, there is a photo of Nicolas Cage and Chloe Moretz as Big Daddy and Hit Girl, respectively, out of their costumes. Stay tuned for more.
Kick-Ass is both written and directed by British filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, of Layer Cake and Stardust previously. The screenplay was co-written by Vaughn and his writing partner Jane Goldman, of Stardust as well. The story is an adaptation of Mark Millar's comic of the same name that is currently in the middle of its first series. Kick-Ass was funded entirely by Matthew Vaughn on his own and doesn't yet have a distributor. However, we can expect Kick-Ass to eventually show up in theaters sometime in 2009.

Strawberry Sorbet
Recipe by Studentchef
This recipe is from Vegcooking.com that my mother received just last week. Since there was a special on strawberries, my mother and I decided to make it, and I did for today. Let me say that I used more strawberries than was called and had trouble making the syrup. In the end, what I got was a slushy sorbet that still ended up tasting good, so I'm sure the sorbet would have been just as good. I suppose there is some one out there who can make a better sorbet than me.
Top Review by Annacia
With the exception of using Splenda for the sugar this was made as directed. It made a wonderfully fresh tasting sorbet that came out very well using the ice cream maker. It's quite pretty too. After a quick sample it went into the freezer to hang out until this afternoon. Yum!

Monterey, Calif. -- Imagine sitting trackside at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, enveloped in darkness, when suddenly the unmistakeable roar of a wide-open-throttle Audi R8 fills your ears with music.
Then you see headlights, glowing red brake discs and neon-bright signage stickers plastered all over a group of cars as they zip past your perch.
Sound too good to be true? It's reality this Saturday night when the American Le Mans Series stages the Audi Sports Car Championships, a timed event of four hours that will start at 4 p.m. PT and will be the first night race ever at Laguna Seca.
At least 90 minutes of the race will be in total darkness, drivers surpassing 180 mph around the 2.238-mile road course with headlights and tail lights their only saviors.
"Racing around Laguna Seca in darkness on Saturday night will be awesome," said JJ Lehto, driver of the ADT Champion Racing Audi R8 and the driver with the most overall race wins in ALMS history.
"The surrounding countryside looked beautiful this evening during practice," Lehto said after a one-hour practice on Thursday. "The sunset spectacularly lit up the hills before dusk and then into full darkness which is what we'll get in the closing stages of the race. Darkness will add more excitement for the race fans -- and the drivers for that matter -- and I'm certain it will make for an interesting spectacle."
Although ALMS drivers run in darkness in other events such as the 12 Hours of Sebring and the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, as well as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, none of the seasoned pros had ever driven the Laguna Seca circuit in darkness before Thursday.
"Driving in the dark here is spectacular," said Sascha Maassen, the most winning ALMS driver of all time and driver of the YES Network Porsche 911 GT3 RSR. "It's like driving around the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring [in Germany]. It will be even more spectacular when we have spectators camping next to the track or we see some lights [on either side of the track] and we go between them. I'm really looking forward to Saturday night racing at Laguna. Lighting was not a problem, absolutely not a problem. We have big lights on our Porsche!"
Others are still trying to get their lighting sorted out, making for some hair-raising runs.
"It's pretty daunting," said Jamie Campbell-Walter, co-driver of the Creation Autosportif DBA-Zytek that was fastest overall in the night session. "Actually, once we sort out our lights I think we'll be fine. Places like the Corkscrew are OK as they are quite well lit up, that's not a problem, but it's at the 'normal' places like turn 1, 2, 3 and 4 -- the flat ones -- where you haven't got any reference points.
"The Corkscrew is hilly so once you've gone into it the lights are shining up quite well but it's the dead flat ones where you can't see a long way ahead that are more of a problem," he said. "Our lights aren't elevated enough basically so it was quite difficult, but I enjoyed it. I like driving in the dark."
As far as Lehto is concerned, Saturday night's season-finale for the ALMS is perfectly cast under the cloak of darkness.
"Sports car endurance racing needs to retain this element and to start and now finish the ALMS calendar with races that include night time driving is good," said Lehto. "At home in Finland during the winter, it stays dark late into the morning and then gets dark early in the afternoon so perhaps I'll have an advantage."
Lap times for Prototype cars were approximately one second slower in the night practice than in Thursday afternoon's test sessions, while GTS and GT cars were faster at night.
Leading the LMP1 Prototype class was the Creation Autosportif DBA-Zytek of Nicolas Minassian and Jamie Campbell-Walter at 1:17.570, followed by Lehto and Marco Werner at 1:17.608 in the ADT Champion Racing Audi R8.
The Miracle Motorsports Courage C65-AER of Ian James, James Gue and John Macaluso led the LMP2 class for smaller Prototypes with a time of 1:22.821, followed by the Intersport Racing Lola B2K/40-Judd of Clint Field, Robin Liddell and Rick Sutherland at 1:23.459.
The two cars of the factory Chevrolet Corvette team were separated by only .022 in the night session, with the No. 4 Corvette C5-R of Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta fastest at 1:22.910. The No.3 car of Ron Fellows and Johnny O'Connell turned a best time of 1:22.932.
In the GT class, the Alex Job Racing Porsche 911 GT3 RSR of Timo Bernhard and Jorg Bergmeister was fastest at 1:26.627, followed by the 1:27.297 time of Craig Stanton and David Murry in the Petersen Motorsports/White Lightning Porsche.
The American Le Mans Series Radio Network will have live coverage that can be heard online at www.americanlemans.com.
In North America, NBC will have coverage of the event on a one-day tape delay beginning at 2 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 17.

The 2014 Draft Prospect Thread: Breaking Blad - "They're Draft picks MacT, Jesus!"

I'm convinced that the Oilers have at least one 6 game winning streak, or at least 16-17 points in 10 game stretch in them this year. Unfortunately, the longer this goes on the less of an impact that stretch will have. I still can't see them finishing below .500 and as such the best the draft would produce is likely outside the top 8.
Best not to panic yet. The team is playing decently overall other than some lapses to be expected of a team learning a brand new system and experiencing horrifying goaltending. There is bound to be a hot streak here soon to progress the goaltending numbers back to the mean and then all should be okay.
Fluke out a win or point tonight, and the next 5 games are against winnable opponents making October salvageable (remember we expected a bad start due to the injuries to our top 2 centres pre-season).

My Heart In Words
I know what it feels like to have an empty soul. It is worse than a broken heart. Knowing what once was so full and so vibrant has been carved out by a heartache more painful than death. It's the kind of life changing event that makes you mourn the death of the heart that once resided in your chest before your bones were smashed in. The most depressing funeral is the one where you are staring at yourself in the coffin and I promise you I am grateful everyday for my life but it is hard to laugh without feeling phony for wearing an open mouthed smile with a cracked and broken soul. Every morning I pray for the girl who still believes in love to take over my body but every evening my prayers go unanswered and I am sorry that my poems are always depressing but I have lost the ability to feel anything else to its full capacity.

Definition of vernissage
: a private showing or preview of an art exhibition
vernissage was our Word of the Day on 01/17/2013. Hear the podcast!
Theme music by Joshua Stamper ©2006 New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP
Did You Know?
Vernissage has its roots in the old practice of setting aside a day before an exhibition's opening for artists to varnish and put finishing touches to their paintings-a tradition that reportedly dates to at least 1809, when it was instituted by England's Royal Academy of Arts. (One famous member of the Academy, Joseph Mallord William Turner, was notorious for making major changes to his paintings on this day.) English speakers originally referred to this day of finishing touches simply as "varnishing day," but sometime around 1912 we also began using the French term vernissage (literally, "varnishing"). Today, however, you are more likely to encounter vino than varnish at a vernissage, which is often a gala event marking the opening of an exhibition.
Origin and Etymology of vernissage
borrowed from French, "day before an exhibition opens reserved for artists to varnish and put finishing touches on their paintings" (probably after English varnishing day), literally, "varnishing," from vernisser "to varnish" (going back to Medieval French vernecier, vernicier) + -age -age — more at 2varnish

I do have a walk in closet.22|00|1
Oh, I don't care about the size of the walk-in closet, I was just wondering who would use a room as a closet. o. O
I think the space is really nice to have. I just looked up the average new home built here is 2,600 sq feet or 241 sq meters so there's usually a lot of space. I bet you Americans on average have more clothes and things in general than Europeans. I think there's a lot of consumerism with both cultures but probably more in the US.
Thanks for mh : )

Before you jump to congratulate me , I would like to make it clear for the avoidance of doubt that this question is (to the best of my knowledge) hypothetical.
I have been mulling over the question on new year honours distribution for many years and as the 1st January looms I decided to share my concerns.
Sports stars : Usually paid eye watering sums and get honoured for it. For those who do not get paid they receive honour and fame anyway. Not on
Civil servants : Stay in place for donkey's years and get a good pension. Hmmm . Although I suppose if they have foregone the more lucrative private sector then perhaps. Can't make my mind up on this one.
Captains of industry : Trousered shedloads of pay and perks and oodles of respect and fame . Not on
So you can see where I am heading. To me the system is devalued and they are given out like confetti when the above receive them. We need to radically pare them back and create a new type of honour for ordinary folk or those who volunteer, help etc in their communities for nothign mroe than the sense of moral or social duty , without reward.
Perhaps to be called "The Citizens Honour" , "Citizenship Recognition Medal" or something similar. That would set them aside from the above categories and give them a real sense of worth that others can instantly see and perhaps inspire more people to do the same.
Back to waiting by the letterbox....

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/2/2014 (1296 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MONTREAL -- The crowd was brewed up loud already on the first night of the Scotties, so Chelsea Carey had a rowdy welcome to her first national campaign.
The Manitoba skip was sitting in the hack Saturday evening, early in her 8-3 loss to defending Canadian champion Rachel Homan, when the shouts started rolling from the stands. The rowdies were hockey players or something, Carey grinned, friends of Homan's and -- apparently -- adult-beverage enthusiasts.
"They were heckling me, and she was like, 'I'm so sorry,'" Carey laughed, shaking off the ache of the loss. "It was quite funny."
The hecklers, she assured, didn't rattle her. Maybe a flutter of nervous energy did, she agreed, given that it was her first game in the Tournament of Hearts, under the lights of Montreal's quirky Maurice Richard Arena and under the lens of TSN.
Whatever it was, the Manitobans missed a handful of key shots early and gave up three points in steals before the break. They righted the ship but couldn't light a fire, and shook hands after eight.
So that is how Carey will remember her Scotties debut: "Not the most fondly, but it's a great team," she said. "That has the potential to happen. We got it figured out, got our rocks in some better spots later... We came back, for sure, but it was a tough start. You just can't miss those shots."
The percentages bear out that tale: By the numbers, Homan's rink was lights-out where the Carey rink was unsettled. Homan curled 98 per cent, her third Emma Miskew sniped for 97, and her second Allison Kreviazuk was close behind with 94. By contrast, while Manitoba lead Lindsay Titheridge curled a strong game with a 92 per cent shot rating, the other Manitoba curlers' percentages couldn't escape the 70s.
For the Carey foursome, it started to unravel on the final rock of the second end. All Carey needed was a straight-up peel to blank it and carry the hammer forward with the scoreboard still uncracked. But she slipped coming out of the hack and her hammer glanced too lightly off Homan's red shot rock. The shooter rolled out but the red just slid across the house, handing Homan a steal of one.
In the very next end, the hurt came on the hammer again. Facing three red counters, all Carey wanted was a simple draw to take a single. But she and her sweepers could put it no further than the top of the 12-foot paint, and the Canadian champs stole again.
"I just over-thought, I just out-thought myself," Carey said. "I had my draw weight after that... I had it then; I just didn't throw it the way I needed to. Once I started trusting myself, it was fine."
The Manitobans did rally then. They blanked the fourth and tried to make a hit-and-roll for a deuce in the fifth.
But Carey's shooter rolled right out, so she settled for the single, and the teams went into the break with Homan up 3-1. Carey kept her to a single in the sixth, then picked up a seventh-end deuce to pull to 4-3. But in the eighth, Homan drove the killing blow, setting up a minefield of red rocks and making a pretty shot to score four.
Still, it's only one game, and there are 10 round-robin tilts yet to play. And the most fearsome opponent in competition is now out of the way.
Not that it gets a lot easier. This morning, Carey will face tough Saskatchewan skip Stefanie Lawton before taking on B.C. rookie Kesa Van Osch in the afternoon.
"You just gotta try to win the next game," Carey said. "If you can keep your head in that space, you'll do OK."
The Manitobans didn't play in the first draw Saturday afternoon, where young Yukon skip Sarah Koltun lost a valiant 7-5 match against Alberta's Val Sweeting and B.C.'s Van Osch toppled veteran Prince Edward Islander Kim Dolan, who is on her 13th trip to the Scotties show. In the battle of the Heathers, Newfoundland's Heather Strong soared 8-1 past Nova Scotia's Heather Smith, and New Brunswick skip Andrea Crawford put Quebec's Allison Ross away 6-1.
Strong would go on to win her evening match against Ross 5-4, and Sweeting beat Van Osch 8-6 to become the first teams in the field to go 2-0.

I've recently (actually just a couple days ago) noticed light stretch marks on my boobs...I'm not chubby/fat at all and normal weight, like I play sports and stay in shape. but my boobs are on the bigger side I guess so that's probably what caused the stretch marks:( how much of a turn off is that? do you guys care...i feel pretty self conscious about it

they come and they go. depending on your skin tone, they'll fade so they're not even visible. if they seem red now, that won't last =) put palmers with cocoa butter on them to help sooth the marks and to help keep them from getting worse. don't worry, it doesn't mean your boobs are sagging either.00|00|0

Trabelsi wants future resolving
By Graeme Bailey
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The 27-year-old is high on the wanted list of England's big three - Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United - and talks are believed to be ongoing with the two London giants.
The Tunisian star is currently considering his options and although The Premiership is a major lure for him, he is also considering a possible move to Serie A.
"I know my agent has spoken to Arsenal and Chelsea," said Trabelsi.
"I like The Premiership and the Italian League and I must choose the best club.
"I hope something will be decided by the end of this month.
"I am out of contract this summer and I could sign a pre-contract, but I don't know if I'll go to Chelsea."
Chelsea are very keen on securing a deal for Trabelsi and are rumoured to have brokered a deal for Brazilian starlet Eduardo Alcides to help them get him.
Ajax want Alcides and Chelsea hope that they could sign Trabelsi, using the Brazilian - who has been on loan at Schalke from Vitoria.
If the deal was ratified by Fifa, then Alcides would move to the Amsterdam ArenA straight away - without setting foot in Stamford Bridge - while Trabelsi would likely move in June.

This first new translation of Kierkegaard's masterwork in a generation brings an essential work of modern philosophy to vivid life.
Although Soren Kierkegaard's death in the fall of 1855 foreshadowed a lasting split between conservative Christians and young contemporaries who saw him as a revolutionary thinker, it was not until the turn of the 20th century - and beyond the borders of his native Denmark - that his lasting significance came to be felt. By transcending distinctions of genre, Kierkegaard brought traditionally separated disciplines to bear on deep human concerns and was able, through his profound self-insight, to uncover the strategies with which we try to deal with them. As a result, he is hailed today as no less than the father of modern psychology and existentialism.
While the majority of Kierkegaard's work leading up to The Concept of Anxiety dealt with the intersection of faith and knowledge, here the renowned Danish philosopher turns to the perennial question of sin and guilt. First published in 1844, this concise treatise identified - long before Freud - anxiety as a deep-seated human state, one that embodies the endless struggle with our own spiritual identities. Ably synthesizing human insights with Christian dogma, Kierkegaard's "psychological deliberation" suggests that our only hope in overcoming anxiety is not through "powder and pills" but by embracing it with open arms. Indeed, for Kierkegaard, it is only through our experiences with anxiety that we are able to become truly aware of ourselves and the freedoms and limitations of our own existence.
While Kierkegaard's Danish prose is surprisingly rich, previous translations - the most recent in 1980 - have tended either to deaden its impact by being excessively literal or to furnish it with a florid tone foreign to its original directness. In this new edition, Alastair Hannay re-creates its natural rhythm in a way that will finally allow this overlooked classic not only to become as celebrated as Fear and Trembling, The Sickness unto Death, and Either/Or but also to earn a place as the seminal work of existentialism and moral psychology that it is.

Recently it surfaced that these failing Seagate hard drives have been linked to a class-action suit filed against Seagate, alleging that their 3TB hard drives are much more prone to failure than advertised, with abnormally high failure rates in comparison to other manufacturers. If you have a failing Seagate hard drive you may want to investigate your options to getting your data back.
Hard drives have a limited lifespan
Regardless of which manufacturer, all hard drives do have an estimated life span and will inevitably fail. A failing Seagate hard drive is one of the main reasons that having a backup in place is so important. Software such as Prosoft Engineering's Data Backup simplifies this process and makes it easy to maintain a regular backup, mitigating potential data loss.
Save your data with data recovery software
If you are unfortunate enough to have a hard drive begin to fail, the data can be recovered using data recovery software such as Data Rescue. Taking the failing hard drive and cloning the data from the first drive to a healthy second drive. Once the data is moved to this second drive, it can be scanned and recovered using Data Rescue recovery software. This process minimizes the time that the problem drive needs to be connected, preventing further damage.
Last option is a data recovery service
If the drive failure is more severe and physical damage has occurred software may not be sufficient and a recovery lab service such as The Data Rescue Center would be necessary to recover the data. In those situations, technicians will open the hard drive in a cleanroom environment to assess what parts may be failing. Donor parts are then transplanted in to get the drive repaired to the extent that the data can be extracted to another healthy drive.
Failing Seagate hard drive options
Whether you have a failing Seagate hard drive, or a drive from any other manufacturer, software from Prosoft Engineering and services from The Data Rescue Center can help recover your data fast, affordably and safely.

We present an algorithm developed in MATLAB that can be applied to both normal and disordered swallowing to automatically extract a wide array of measurements from the spatiotemporal plots produced by high-resolution manometry (HRM) of the pharyngeal swallow. The algorithm was developed from data from 12 normal and 3 disordered subjects swallowing 5-ml water boluses. Automated extraction was compared to manual extraction for a subset of seven normal and the three disordered subjects to evaluate algorithm accuracy. Area and line integrals, pressure wave velocity, and pressure gradients during upper esophageal sphincter opening were also measured. Automated extraction showed strong correlations with manual extraction, producing high correlation coefficients in both normal and disordered subjects for maximum velopharyngeal pressure and maximum tongue base pressure. Timing data were also strongly correlated for all variables, including velopharyngeal pressure duration, tongue base pressure duration, and total swallow duration. Preliminary descriptive data on area and line integrals are presented. Our results indicate that the algorithm can effectively extract data automatically from HRM spatiotemporal plots. The efficiency of the algorithm makes it a valuable tool to supplement clinical and research use of HRM.

Angela Miniscalco is an Italian artist, who's graduated from the Academy of Fine Art of Rome with a degree in Scenic Artist. While she was studying, she took the chance to work for the prestigious Opera Theatre of Rome. After her work in the Opera Theatre reached its end she took steps to strengthen her professional development as a freelance artist creating a wide range of paintings, Thrompe d'Oeil and decorations.
She moved to London about 13 years ago and she started working as a freelance in Terry Murphy Studio as a Scene Painter Assistant. Once her daughter was born she had to stop for a while until she developed this need to have some work experience in the National Theatre as a Dye Painter which it helped to enrich her passion towards the use of colours.
She works with important names such as Dante Ferretti, Ubero Bertacca, Gordon Aldred in London and Franco Zeffirelli. With Zeffirelli she realized, as scene painter, La Bohe'me, Pagliacci, La Fille Du Re'giment, Aida and Turandot.
"At present, I feel this urge to continue my path as a freelance artist with the purpose of delivering my emotions as a woman, a mother and as a pure human being through my art using support such as canvas, wood and cardboard."

Helpful (2)
I have been working at Booz Allen Hamilton full-time (More than a year)
There has always been plenty of diverse work opportunities, which has been a good resume builder. You can often work from home. A driven workforce with plenty of smart people. The matrixed structure, which has negatives, also has positives in that you can easily gain a network of people who can help you down the line.
Most people seem to wear a corporate mask. Every once in a while you meet someone who behaves like a normal human being, and it shocks you.
You are on your own to find work. If you don't have work for a while, you are gone.
Teams are all over the place geographically, which increases even more because of hoteling, making it incredibly hard to collaborate effectively with teammates, and the work quality suffers because of it.
These three things above make the overall work experience not enjoyable, and cause a detachment with other employees, even with teammates and bosses - and not the camaraderie you'd get at better companies.
Management is inconsistent. As a technical person, I would have thought that a company of this size and distinction would be more organized and use proven methods for managing technical projects. In my experience, most of the people managing us had no idea how to do it, and were just winging it. Very disappointing.
The company generally has an attitude that its employees are the best of the best, but it has shocked me how many people I have worked with who don't have much in terms of ability or passion. There are a fair amount of smart and driven people, yes, but they seem to be outnumbered by the ones who aren't. Reading other people's reviews, apparently this is a somewhat recent trend in the company [which started before I got there], and unfortunately may be growing.
Advice to Management
The company is probably too big to do serious reflection at this point, but it needs to. There are a lot of things that it does differently from other companies. But just because something is the "Booz way" doesn't mean its a better way.

Video Wills, Kate & Harry Want A National Conversation On Mental Health
Men are less likely to talk than women with 54% of women having had a conversation compared to 37% of men.
Hundreds of people have been turned away from a 2012 ticket collection point because of admin problems.
The biggest overseas agency for London 2012 tickets was at the centre of chaotic scenes today as fans waited in the hot sun for up to six hours.
CoSport, the official ticket agency for the USA, Canada, Australia, Norway and Sweden, also faced criticism for giving batches of tickets to families for the same event - but with family members each seated many rows apart.
Spectators were told to pick up tickets from a centre near Paddington in west London but hundreds were forced to queue for several hours.
A London 2012 spokeswoman said:
"They have had issues with the distribution of tickets, something has gone wrong with how they are allocated and distributed.
"We are aware of the problems and anyone who has been affected is advised to contact the CoSport call centre which has been set up in London."

Every property owner with a home loan must have home owner's insurance in place. Your insurer wants to keep your house in perfect condition, so they should be the first person you call when things go wrong.
When you apply for a bond, its approval is usually conditional on you taking out home owner's insurance. The purpose of this kind of insurance is to protect you – and the bank – from the risk of structural damage arising from fires, bad weather or burst geysers or pipes.
While you are not obliged to take the home owner's insurance that your bank offers, it is usually compulsory for you to prove that you have this type of cover in place.
"Although this type of insurance is often a grudge purchase, once it is in place, it is extremely useful to the home owner," says Craig Young, the managing executive of oobainsure, the insurance division of ooba, South Africa's biggest bond originator. "Your insurer will become your first port of call in a household emergency."
Some of the less well known items covered by home owner's insurance include: alterations to your dwelling should you become confined to a wheelchair, damage to garden caused by impact, emergency services expenses, appointing of guards to protect your property, replacement of keys, locks and remote control units, geyser wear and tear, electrical gate motors, cost of demolition fees and accidental breakage to fixed glass and sanitaryware. And the list goes on.
Of course, there are also exclusions. These generally include wear and tear or damage from civil unrest or war.
"Simply put, what it boils down to is that if anything goes wrong with your home, you should call your insurer before you do anything else, to find out whether you are covered," says Young.
To claim, he advises contacting your insurance company immediately so that they can guide you through the processes. All insurance companies have their own panel of service providers that they will send out to do the work. You can use your own service provider for the repairs in some cases, if this is agreed upon by the insurer and a quote has been accepted.
In an emergency, contact the insurance company's emergency line for priority service.
Your excess will usually be required to be paid to the service provider – such as a plumber or electrician – before any work commences on your property. When the work is done, you will have to sign a document to let the insurer know that you are happy with the work.
"It is always advisable not to take matters into your own hands with any emergency repairs," says Young. "Always phone the claims call centre as your insurer cannot be held liable for inflated prices charged by an independent service provider."
It is also a good idea to always keep your property evaluation up to date. The insurer will increase your premiums annually, taking inflation and building materials costs into consideration, but it is up to you to request a reassessment of your property if you have carried out any renovations.
"The main sum insured should be adjusted on renewal each year to allow for changes in the value of the property and the cost of rebuilding the property," says Young. "Obviously, if you have done any work on the property, call an expert evaluator from your insurance right away."
He explains that if you don't do this and you need to claim, you could be underinsured. This means that you would be liable for the costs of a rateable share of the damage. "For instance, if the replacement value of the property is R100 000 and the insured value on the policy schedule is R75 000, then the insurer would be within its rights to only pay a maximum of 75% of every claim you make. For this reason, you must ensure that your property is correctly insured."
You are required to have home owner's insurance in place to protect your lender's interests just as much as to protect yours. Home owner's insurance is there to help you to protect the value of your greatest asset. "So use it when you need to," concludes Young.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you have done for us. Your professionalism, friendliness and willingness to assist is admirable and much appreciated. It is wonderful to know that there are still people who value the word "service" and nothing was too much for you."
Carol Curtin of ooba was recommended to us when we were looking to purchase our first home. Carol and Bianca have truly gone the extra mile, not only to secure our first home loan, but assist us in what has been a very unpleasant home buying experience. If it were not for their amazing support and dedication, we may very well not have been buying the home we love. They took the time to understand our situation and help above and beyond their scope, I really could not be more grateful to them both and would never hesitate to recommend them to any of my family and friends.
"Your efforts in getting things done in the shortest possible time is admirable and highly appreciated.
I will definitely recommend your services in our social circles and to colleagues."
When buying a property, you only need to work with ooba.
Within a short space of time they managed to negotiate an excellent bank rate and homeowner's insurance at the best possible rate. Thanks for rendering a great service....at NO CHARGE to the customer.
