Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
okay well I need a goal. Everyone wants to go to another country in their life time, mine just happens to be wanting to see a great artistically historical country myself. SO here are my options, and I'm curious to your ideas too.
Paris or Italy?
I'm not big on the whole religious art, but some of the most famous artists reside in the churches. Plus there's the whole venice thing...but then there is France. particularly paris and the Louvre. Plus paris is where all the art stuff goes down. but I don't like french food...and chances are if I stay a week in either country I'm gonna be eating their food at some point
So which would you do? as fellow art lovers I'm interested to hear your thoughts or if you have been and would recommend? OR if there is somewhere better...?
My Sketchbook: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...79#post2342179
You should go to both, and see which one is the best ! I'm coming from france, tho living far from the big artistic places ! Well My couzin visited Italy, and when he showed me the pics i was astonished, it's really gorgeous ! Now, dunno about the amount of art stuff there, but girls in Italy are really gorgeous too ! Make your choice :p
It really depends on your taste, your budget and time at your disposal.
Paris, Rome and Venice are all charming. If you choose to stay a week in the same city I think Paris is the one that offers the most.
If you have weeks or a month the best thing IMO is renting a car and driving from one city to another, in this way you can appreciate how landscape, architecture, food and people change. Europe (and Italy in particualr) is... dense, you drive one hundred miles and everything changes around you.
What's wrong with French food?
These were shot in rome, vatican museum.
I also stayed in rome with a school trip, so i can't say much for the costs that where made staying (had to pay about 400 eur) but the food, i ate for a week for about 150 euro, thats 5 or 6 days of good food. If you take the alley-restaurants that is, those on plaza's are a tad to expensive.
(23:41:52) (ArneLurk) I woner of there are people who have hairy penises
You can stay in one of the supercheap tourist resorts up the Northern end then bus or train to places like Madrid (Prado), Barcelona (Gaudi, Picasso).
You could probably stay in Southern France and do day trips to Spain and Italy but France is more expensive.
Ahhh ROME! How I wish I could go see the Holy See! And all the art. I would kill to take an art tour of Italy!
I myself was very impressed by italy (been to rome and florence) but if you don't like religious art you basicaly delete 1500+ years of art history which for the greatest part is what you see in italy. In that case you can better go to Paris I suppose. I don't know how big the art scene is in Paris right now, but from what I've heard Berlin is the place where the art stuff in europe is right now though Paris will still be big in it ofcourse.
I've been to Paris and Strasbourg in France and only to the Alps in northern Italy (the dolomites) so I never got to see Florence or Rome. However, I think whichever choice you go with you will be absolutely blown away. Paris has the Louvre, Arc De Triumph, Eiffel Tower, and tons of other stuff, and Rome has infinite amounts of beautiful temples and... well.. really its quite vain for me to try to sum it all up in a single paragraph. Again, no matter which way you choose, you will not regret your decision. However, I think you ought to open your horizons when it comes to the food.
Italians have the mafia and France surrenders too much. Italy wins. We're talking about who would win in a war, right?
Never been to either, so my word doesn't count.
btw I rethought it and perhaps going to both would be the best experience since they are like next to each other practically. maybe I'd spend more time in France I can't speak french yet but it's always a good idea to learn yes?
My Sketchbook: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...79#post2342179
If you prepare your own meals you don't have a problem.
I would prefer Paris to live for a while and there's enough artistic & historical stuff.
Also life and tuition is probably better organized in France.
Still traveling to other historical cities will expand your horizons even more.
Been in France and Italy many times and had an italian girlfriend for 1,5 years.

"Create like a god, command like a king, work like a slave."
Was in Paris yesterday, the Louvre is absolutely HUGE.
But what I was most impressed by is the ridiculous amount of hot chicks walking around. Seriously... it's just not normal!
I lived in both places and they are so different...
Paris is more organized for sure, amazing culture, if you don't speak french they are unlikely to help very much.
Italy is warm and the people will bring you home for dinner every night, they'll teach you the language and think it's cute when you mess up.
I loved both places for different reasons!!!

Only if you want to..but I don't like french food...and chances are if I stay a week in either country I'm gonna be eating their food at some point
Seriously, there is probably not a city in Europe without a KFC, McD's or Pizza Hut.
I've been to Paris many a time, and loved every second of it! I also really enjoy the south of France. And as far as food.... the french can cook all most every thing... and cook it VERY well!
As far as Italy, I'm afraid I've never been, But I've always wanted to.
By the way, if it was my choice I'd go to France and stalk Clochette... but that's just me

Go to both. Make friends online with people who live there, and crash at their places.
Go find the Paris and Italy subforums and see who's willing. Heck, once my house's built, I might rent out the guest room for a small fee to any artists who want to see all our Slovak castles.
How can you not like ''france'' food if you never been there? If you go in France with that state of mind and low expection about culture ( yah food is part of their culture ) you just gonna fukn love it.
From Eastern to Western Europe there is no much difference in food unless you are really looking for a old traditional meal. If you can't decide between both ( both are just fukn awesome ) save some more money and hit every you can with 1 plane ticket
I think going to both sounds like a great idea, but make sure you plan out your trip so you're going to have time to enjoy the places you go to. I've planned a few trips where we went too many places and almost spent more time on the train than we did in the city. It'd be great if you could plan a route where you could get out every few stops and look around. I often prefer the smaller villages to the larger tourist spots personally. And if you do travel between countries, you may be able to purchase cheaper international trains in advance online. I know in NL you can use Hi-Speed to go to Germany or France fairly cheaply.

It looks like a race to the Pit Stop between Team Go Team and Margie|Luke, all of whom are stressing out at the traffic and the red lights. We cut back and forth between the two cabs as they both seem to be approaching the high, lit-up tower. But it looks like Jaime and Cara are arriving first, and they rush out of their cab and through the north entrance, where Phil is waiting by the mat. Jaime's already like Halle Berry on Oscar night, and they both nearly lose it when Phil says that they are "the first team to arrive." Uh-oh. Of course, they've never won a leg, so how would they know that if all were well, he would have told them they were team number one? And furthermore, do they not notice his grave expression? The lack of a greeter? Of course not. In fact, they're still jumping up and down like loons when Phil interrupts, "But guys?" At least he didn't say "However." He has reached into his back pocket for a clue, which he holds out for them. "This leg of the race is not over. You are still racing. Here is your next clue." Jaime buries her face in Cara's shoulder, but neither of them makes a move for the proffered clue. To be continued! Man, that's got to hurt, to win their first leg and have it be this one. In fact, Phil? You might just want to step away from Jaime before she fully comprehends what you just told her.

North Carolina plans to hike teacher salaries in the next two years, Gov. Pat McCrory said in an announcement at the high school he attended.
Speaking Monday morning at Ragsdale High in Jamestown, McCrory said he and General Assembly leaders plan to raise teacher pay from a base of $30,800 to $35,000 in the next two years.
"Our intention is to build a strong foundation for the future," McCrory said.
The legislation will be introduced when the General Assembly meets for the short session in May. The concept already has support from House and Senate leaders.
McCrory said the current starting salary is too low.
"That's not even enough to raise a family or pay off student loans," McCrory said.
The proposal would raise teacher pay by $2,200 this year and $2,000 next year, according to Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger's office. The raises would be for teachers who have from zero to five years of experience.
What do you think? Let us know on Facebook
McCrory said the state leaders are looking at ways to compensate experienced teachers more but don't have a plan for that yet.Although teachers are happy some of the poorest paid will receive increases, some veteran teachers wonder when it will be their turn.
"It's a matter of making sure we have a fair standard of living," said Kathryn McNeil, who has been teaching for seven years. "I'm a little bit sad that I'm outside the range that it affects because there are a lot of us that have been teaching six or seven years and we still make what first year teachers are making."
State schools Superintendent June Atkinson said, "Our veteran teachers will be asking, 'When will the governor and the leadership in the General Assembly -- how are they going to address our needs as experienced teachers?'"
McCrory also said 3,000 state employees will get raises from Jan. 1 and said employees like nurses and Highway Patrolmen "whose base pay was too low for too long."
The Republicans have complete control of state government, but drew criticism in the 2013 legislative session from Democrats and others for failing to raise teacher pay. The Moral Monday protests galvanized opposition to Republican plans, and many teachers showed up in Raleigh to express frustration with pay.
McCrory put a 1 percent raise in his original budget but it failed to make it through the General Assembly.
But 2013 was not an election year, and the Republicans are likely to raise heavy competition in the 2014 elections as they look to hold onto their legislative majorities. Monday's announcement moved to address those concerns, and the news conference featured all of the top Republican leaders, including House Speaker, and U.S. Senate candidate, Thom Tillis.
Sen. Martin Nesbitt, a key Democrat, immediately called Monday's announcement "ridiculous posturing" in an election year.
"We didn't see a plan to raise teacher salaries to the national average; we didn't see a plan to make North Carolina competitive with states -- like Virginia -- that are actively recruiting our best educators; we didn't see a plan to ensure that our students are prepared for today's workforce," Nesbitt said.
At the news conference Monday, McCrory praised the legislative leaders and said the programs the General Assembly had put in place had made it fiscally possible to pay teachers more.
McCrory said Monday's announcement was only the beginning, and that his administration would continue to roll out plans to better compensate teachers and improve student performance. Lawmakers also said the raises won't require tax increases because the state has the $200 million it mill cost over the next two years.
"Revenues are up some because the economy is slowly recovering, and it's also coming from tough decisions over the past three sessions where we trimmed spending on the government side," Berger said. "That slowdown in spending has given us the capacity to do this."
McCrory said that for the past six years, North Carolina has only given teachers one raise, of 1.2 percent. McCrory's comment was a reference to the fact that his predecessors as governor were Democrats.
"And frankly, that [one raise] was made possible" by the work in the legislature from Tillis and Berger, McCrory said.
"Now it's time we started showing respect for our teachers in North Carolina and letting them know it's a top priority," McCrory said.
McCrory also announced that teachers who get master's degrees will get supplemental pay. Tillis said the decision not to reward teachers with a master's degree was a mistake and that the state leaders decided to change their position.
"In retrospect, we realized it was wrong," Tillis said.
"For years, Democrats who controlled the Governor's mansion and the General Assembly allowed teacher pay to stagnate and fall behind the rest of the country. Today, Governor McCrory and Republicans in the General Assembly have righted that wrong and have made it clear that improving the quality of public education and retaining our hardworking teachers is their top priority. "
- N.C. Republican Party
"Let's just look at the facts. The Governor and legislative Republicans held a pep rally today to announce that over the next two years, they're going to pay teachers $35,000 a year. We didn't see a plan to raise teacher salaries to the national average; we didn't see a plan to make North Carolina competitive with states - like Virginia - that are actively recruiting our best educators; we didn't see a plan to ensure that our students are prepared for today's workforce.
"Instead, we saw Governor McCrory and his Republican allies do the very least they possibly could and hold a celebratory, election-year rally. To call today's announcement a victory is an insult to teachers and their students. North Carolina families are going to see through Governor McCrory's ridiculous posturing."
- Senate Democratic Leader Martin Nesbitt
"This raise for just a select few teachers in North Carolina falls remarkably short. All teachers in North Carolina are responsible for preparing our children to be successful and all teachers deserve to be paid like the professionals they are. We need a dedicated plan to raise teacher pay to the national average so we can attract and retain the very best teachers. The Republican plan is just smoke and mirrors designed to give them an election year talking point, not a serious attempt to improve education in North Carolina."
- N.C. House Democratic Leader Larry Hall
"It's a new morning for education in North Carolina. One that brings together the top leaders of our state to address one of the most pressing issues we face, teacher pay.
"Regardless of political affiliation, we all strive to provide the best education in the world to students right here in North Carolina. Why would we dream of less? Why would we stop short of that goal?"

You might not know his name but you certainly know his face.
Reports TMZ:
The actor who played Pinky in two of the "Friday" movies claims he's been falsely accused of raping a woman in Louisiana last year … despite allegations in a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.
Clifton Powell — who also appeared in "Rush Hour," "Ray" and "Menace II Society" — has been sued by a woman using the pseudonym Kiyante Myers … who claims the actor raped her in a hotel room in August 2011.
According to the suit, Myers claims she initially consented to sex with Powell … but when it turned rough, she asked him to stop … and he refused.
Instead, she claims, Powell placed his hands over her face and raped her.
TMZ has learned … Myers went to cops about the incident last year … and an investigation was conducted. But cops didn't feel there was enough evidence to prove Powell committed a crime and they closed the case against the actor.
Myers has now taken her claims to federal court in Louisiana, where she's seeking damages in excess of $75k.
A rep for Clifton tells TMZ … "Mr. Powell absolutely denies these false accusations and plans on pursuing all legal remedies available to him against his accuser."
I see said the blind man. And now…
Sound like you can severely reduce your chances of having a false accusation of rape leveled against you if you don't hire strange women to come to your house and take their clothes off for money. Also, you can severely reduce your chances of being raped if you do not go to strange men's houses and take your clothes off for money. Just a thought. In the meantime Pinky.

My family liked it (picky kids included) and it was easy to cook. Only problem is that I doubled the sauce as others had suggested (which was tasty) but this increases the sodium a substantial amount. Next time I will do 1.5x the sauce and see if I can get away with it.

I can't stop having sex dreams about you, that includes any and all day dreams. It may have something to do with being constantly horny the last month or so but you have a lot to do with that as well. My thoughts are obsessed with your eyes, your face, your perfect legs, my fingers running up and down your legs and it's overwhelming. There isn't a night I sleep without imagining us in a car, a hotel or the back of a movie theater. Even right now as I am typing this, in the back of my mind wanders, the thought of you guiding my head between your legs. Yeah I have to go now.

LITTLE ROCK — A Jonesboro orthodontist has filed a federal court challenge to an Arkansas law that bars dental specialists from offering stand-alone basic services such as cleanings and X-rays.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Little Rock argues that it is unconstitutional to prohibit orthodontists — dentists who specialize in straightening teeth — from performing nonemergency stand-alone services outside of their specialty.
LITTLE ROCK — Two dozen ballots weren't counted in Arkansas' most populous county after voters who didn't show identification at the polls in last week's primary failed to return by a Tuesday deadline to present ID under a new state law, election officials said.

You cant add it to your phone . The only phone that will run flash is the htc pro 2 from t-mobile. and from the sounds of it they are not going to make one for us to download for any phone but this one for nowi have a samsung behold 2 andorid phone and it wont download to it. hope this helps
You need to contact Microsoft Support and they will help you. I had the same problem and finally Microsoft support techs solved the flashplayer problem. I gave them persmission to access my computer. He did and 1hour and 20 minutes later I had Flashplayer installed. I believe one of my programs were not enabled.
It works and I thrilled.
It works and I thrilled.

The motorcross community is mourning the loss of a fellow racer.
Todd Cathey, 19, of Amarillo, died at University Medical Center Sunday, after crashing his motorcycle at TNT Raceway in Idalou.
NewsChannel 11 obtained a copy of the 911 call: "I need to get a helicopter out here right now. I got a 19-year-old knocked out with a head injury."
Friends say Cathey was racing in the TNT Summer Night series Saturday night, when he went over a jump and lost control. The bike flipped over the teen, causing serious head injuries.
Aerocare arrived around 9:30 p.m. Saturday and flew Cathey to Lubbock, where he later died.
Cathey is now being remembered for his skill and love of life.
"He's the type of guy you go with to the track and everyone knew him... he' s a really fun and out- going person," Cathey's friend Matt Mueller, Todd's friend.
A memorial fund is in place to help Cathey's family with funeral expenses. Donations can be made at any location of People's Bank.
TNT will also hold a Todd Cathey Memorial Race on August 25th. Track owners tell NewsChannel 11, "This is a tragic loss and bad accident, and our hearts go out to the families."

authoring tool
Also known as authorware, a program that helps you write hypertext or multimedia applications. Authoring tools usually enable you to create a final application merely by linking together objects, such as a paragraph of text, an illustration, or a song. By defining the objects' relationships to each other, and by sequencing them in an appropriate order, authors (those who use authoring tools) can produce attractive and useful graphics applications. Most authoring systems also support a scripting language for more sophisticated applications.
The distinction between authoring tools and programming tools is not clear-cut. Typically, though, authoring tools require less technical knowledge to master and are used exclusively for applications that present a mixture of textual, graphical, and audio data.

Best. Super Bowl. Ever.
I can't say I've seen a game like it. Barney Stinson would have called it, "legen…wait for it…dary."
Even though the Baltimore Ravens led wire-to-wire, there was more drama than I could handle.
The Ravens got off to a great start as Joe Flacco threw a beatuful 13-yard pass to Anquan Boldin for the game's first score. The only other score in the first quarter was a field goal by San Francisco's David Akers, cutting the Baltimore lead to 7-3.
The second quarter belonged to the Ravens. Flacco hit tight end Dennis Pitta for a one-yard score before he found wide receiver Jacoby Jones wide open down the middle of the field. Jones made a great falling catch, got back up, and outraced the 49er defender into the end zone for a 56-yard score. San Francisco got another Akers field goal before the half, but that only reduced the Baltimore lead to 21-6.
After Beyonce's half time show, the Ravens came out fired up. San Francisco kicked off, and Akers hit a deep liner to the back of Baltimore end zone. Being as the ball got there before the coverage, Jacoby Jones decided to run it out, and that decision proved to be brilliant. Jones scampered 108 yards up the field—the longest play ever in a Super Bowl—for the score.
At that point, Baltimore was up 28-6 and showed no signs of slowing down.
Then the lights went out.
For 34 minutes.
As it turned out, a piece of equipment sensed an "abnormality," which caused the power outage not only in the stadium, but also in the Ravens, as we would all witness.
San Francisco took that 34-minute delay and made the most of it, going on a scoring rampage in the third quarter. First, a touchdown pass of 31 yards from Colin Kaepernick to Michael Crabtree made the game 28-13. A quick three-and-out by the Ravens forced a punt, and Ted Ginn Jr. returned it 32 yards to set the 49ers up at Baltimore's 20 yard line. After a Kaepernick pass to Vernon Davis set them up at the six, Frank Gore ran it in to make it 28-20.
Baltimore got the ball back, but after Flacco hit Ray Rice with a pass, Rice then fumbled to set the 49ers up yet again with amazing field position, this time at Baltimore's 24 yard line. After that, a David Akers field goal initially missed right, but Chyke Brown ran into Akers, giving the Niners another shot, and this time, Akers hit, making it now a 28-23 game. In the span of just over four minutes, San Francisco scored 17 points, and the Ravens looked a bit shell-shocked.
The fourth quarter got off to a good start for the Ravens as Justin Tucker hit a 19 yard field goal to push the lead back to eight points, but that wouldn't last long. Kaepernick ran for a 15-yard touchdown to make it a 31-29 game. San Francisco went for the two-point conversion, but failed, as Kaepernick couldn't connect with Randy Moss.
At this point, there was just under ten minutes left in the game, and I was turning into a nervous wreck. Hoping for a Baltimore score, I got just that.
The Ravens started their next drive at their own 21 with 9:51 left in the game, and methodically drove down the field, helped by two 49er penalties. Sitting on a fourth-and-two at San Francisco's 20-yard line, Justin Tucker hit a 38 yard field goal to increase the lead to 34-29.
The 49ers then started their next drive from their 20 and were moving the ball down the field a bit too easily for my own sanity. The Niners started off with two eight-yard runs before Kaepernick connected with Crabtree for a 24-yard gain. A Frank Gore run of 33 yards had the Niners now at the Baltimore seven yard line.
Needing a goal line stand, I was hoping Baltimore's defense would stand up one last time. A two yard run by LaMichael James moved the ball to the five yard line, but then for some reason, after having great success running the ball, San Francisco decided to throw on the next three plays, all resulting in incompletions, the last of which came on fourth-and-goal when Kaepernick missed Crabtree in the back right corner of the end zone.
Baltimore took over on downs, but were not out of danger just yet. Three rushes which resulted in three yards set up fourth-and-seven from their own eight-yard line. With 12 seconds left, Baltimore decided to punt away, but instead of punting, they decided to take a safety. Punter Sam Koch took the snap and killed off a few precious seconds as he ran around the end zone and was eventually pushed out with four seconds left. Baltimore would then kick off to San Francisco, and after a 31 yard return by Ginn Jr., the Ravens brought him down and were crowned Super Bowl Champions once again.
Quarterback Joe Flacco was named Super Bowl MVP as he completed 22 of 33 passes for 287 yards and three touchdown passes. Flacco was outstanding throughout the playoffs; he did not throw an interception all postseason.
Ray Rice rushed for 59 yards on 20 carries while Bernard Pierce rushed for 33 yards on 12 carries. Anquan Boldin had six receptions for a team-high 104 yards and a score, while Jacoby Jones and Dennis Pitta also chipped in with scores of their own.
Defensively, Paul Kruger made life miserable for Colin Kaepernick. Kruger registered three tackles, two of which were sacks. Ray Lewis had seven total tackles and Ed Reed had five tackles and an interception. Baltimore's secondary did a good job as well, as Corey Graham, Cary Williams, and Jimmy Smith each defensed two passes.
Things will certainly be different for Baltimore after this year, as Ray Lewis will be retiring and Ed Reed might have played his last game as a Raven, but for now, let's just enjoy the moment.
Congratulations Baltimore Ravens! Well done.

Trail Dog and all around best friend
Junior, Scotts Valley High School
I live and breath bikes. I dream about riding everday and can proudly say that I do, in fact ride bikes everyday. Whether it is a long cross country ride or pinning laps at Northstar, I can't say that there is a bad type of bike ride. My love for the sport extents far from riding. I love documenting my riding with my GoPro and sharing edits on the web. I also love building my own trails and riding them. There is nothing like picking up a shovel and spending some quality time in the forest on a crisp afternoon. My goals for this season are really quite season. Podium at every Norcal League race and podium at every CCCX downhill race. SCMCT provides great resources for a young, ambitious athlete like my self, and I am going to use the time on the trails this year to have fun and become a better biker.
Mitchell Pisciotta
Junior, Scotts Valley High School
I am just a big kid. I like messing around with friends doing things that most kids my age would've stopped doing in 5th grade. Pulling kids behind go karts, riding skateboards down hills, Nerf wars, you name it. That's also why I was drawn to mountain biking. I thrive outdoors, love a good rush, and am a better endurance athlete. If I could describe my riding style, the trail shakes in fear when it hears me coming down the trail.
Dylan "Kamakaze Pilot" Arndt
Sophomore, San Lorenzo Valley High School
I ride bikes because it is a way for me to get away from things, I ride them to get better at the sport and so I can go out and just do what I like to do. This is my second year on the team and I have to say its hard work but the result is totally worth it. My friends call me the kamikaze pilot because I will try anything and not really think about it...
Karl 'Goggles' Schultz
Senior, San Lorenzo Valley High School
I am just an average high schooler that loves to bike. When I am not on two wheels I am doing competitive airsoft. These two sports combined are my life. I ride because it frees me and I love the rush.
Joe Van Pykeren
Junior, San Lorenzo Valley High School
I ride my bike because it keeps me in shape and I love to.
Ben "Lil Bean" Slaughter
Junior, San Lorenzo Valley High School
Mountain biking is what I love to do. I like pretty much anything with wheels. If I'm not riding my bike I'll be working on it.
I like to ride my bike because there's always a challenge and always something to do with it.
Dylan "The Hopper" O'Connor
Junior, Scotts Valley High School
Senior, Scotts Valley High School
My name is Gabe Multer and I ride bikes. I started cycling almost 3 years ago as a roadie. I still dedicate almost all my time to the road, but I am starting to mountain bike. This will be my third year of road racing, and my first year of mountain bike racing. I race for the Bear Development Team on the road, but am very happy to say that I race for the Santa Cruz Mountain Composite Team on the mountain. I have been riding a mountain bike for about 5 months now and love it. I am extremely excited to be racing the Norcal season with this fun team. Being a roadie I lack skills on the mountain bike. I look forward to learning from all the guys and becoming a better mountain biker. I hope to teach some of the other kids on the team the magic of the road, pain, shaved legs, and spandex.
Junior, Scotts Valley High School
I love biking because it is an excellent source of training requiring mental alertness and focus, physical strength and endurance and there is no limit, there is always room to improve!
Plus it is STRAIGHT UP FUN!!

I have always loved to bike. I like the team because of the exercise and the kids keep me young!
I love biking. It is something I will be able to do my entire life and enjoy with my family and friends.
Coach (Former Team Rider)
I enjoy mountain biking because of how fun and technical it can be. Riding down a super rough trail while trying to find the fastest, smoothest line is what makes it fun for me. Being on this team has really helped my fitness and has made me a better all-around rider. Having great coaches and teammates that make you push as hard as you can gives you the drive to do your best. Being on this team has been an awesome experience!

Samuel Schindler
University of Konstanz, Germany
Fall Term 2010
Towards a New Epistemology of Science
Samuel Schindler is a research fellow at the Department of Philosophy and the Zukunftskolleg (an institute for advanced studies) at the University of Konstanz in Germany. Before coming to Konstanz, he was a research fellow at the University of Stockholm, Sweden, and employed as temporary lecturer at the University of Birmingham (UK). Samuel holds a BSc in Cognitive Science, an MA in History and Philosophy of Science, and a PhD in Philosophy of Science (University of Leeds, UK).
Samuel's research seeks to make fruitful the history of science to philosophical views about science. Central to Samuel's long term project Towards a New Epistemology of Science is the idea of theory-driven data reliability judgments, which may be viewed as a form of theory-ladenness. However, whereas the classical form of theory-ladenness is a concept that threatens to undermine the "epistemic purity" of observations, the idea of theory-driven data reliability judgments does so with the epistemic foundation that philosophers (and in particular the New Experimentalists) were hoping to find in the experimental practices of science. Additionally, and in contrast to the concept of theory-ladenness, the concept of theory-driven data reliability judgments emphasises the properties of theories (in particular their non-empirical virtues) that fuel those judgments. If the idea of theory-driven data reliability judgements can be supported (which Samuel will seek to do with various historical case studies), this may pose new challenges to standard notions of not only data reliability, but also of theory-confirmation, theory-choice, and the aim of science.
In his free time Samuel tries to compensate for the constant sitting during work through various physical activities. He loves exploring the diverse cultural offerings one finds only in cities such as Pittsburgh.
May 2012
I was appointed Associate Professor of Philosophy of Science at the Center for Science Studies at the Aarhus University (Denmark) in October last year.

Boots zapped by Advertising Standards Authority

This afternoon I went to the Coliseum to see a revival of Jonathan Miller's 1986 production of the Mikado. It was beautifully staged. The well-known patter song of Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner of Japan, begged for a version that deals with anti-science (original here). The serious post will come later. Meanwhile here's some late […]

Morals in high places: leadership from Anderson and Chisholm.
December 26th, 2007 · 6 Comments
We hear a lot about leadership these days. It has become one of the favourite buzzwords of those who do neither research not teaching. The word occurred six times in a recent HR-speak document that was sent to explain the criteria for promotion to a chair. Quite what it means is never clear. Could it […]

On sham consultations
November 10th, 2007 · 6 Comments
No longer are we just told what to do from the top. Important decisions are preceded by a long period of consultation. That is a wonderful contribution to democracy. Sometimes. But in truth, these consultations are only too often totally sham public relations exercises. Here are a couple of examples. The first is a government […]

3. He's like Tommy Oliver because he starts on the evil side and ends up with a curse if he uses his powers, and he breaks that curse and joins the rangers to save the world!
What I don't like about him:
He makes it hard for me to compare the Japan and America episodes. Otherwise I like him. So yeah, see you. (If u don't know Tommy Oliver, Google him.)

Lovely, private and secure apartment
Lovely, private and secure apartment in lush Miami neighborhood. Well maintained, good customer service.
We Love i!
Villa Aruba is a very nice place, a calm and quiet retreat for relaxation.The apartment was very clean. My wife and I enjoyed this location with access to the canal just feet away from our unit. The apartment is equipped with all supplies makes the stay very comfortable. The beach is just less then 5 minutes away by car or one day we even walked. we will certainly recommend this place.
Really Awesome!!!
I arrived and the house was clean and very nicely decorated and true to the photos on vrbo.com. This is perfect for a family or even a couples get away. I would recommend this house to everyone who wants to have a relaxing stay in Delray. The Downtowner was the highlight of my week. No driving out to the bars or dinner.

FAQs on Same-Day Appointments
Q: Why did you change the way you handled students who were sick or injured?
A: Over the years, students told us "you can't schedule being sick." That's absolutely true. So we built a system comparable to what happens in an ER or an urgent care center – you walk-in and say you want to be seen and then you sit and wait your turn. We had 1 or 2 clinicians assigned to walk-ins while the rest were booked with appointments. The problem is if a lot of people walk-in at the same time, both clinicians get tied up and the wait gets really long. Students told us they didn't like that.
Q: What's the difference between "same-day" and "open access" – why do you keep using both terms?
A: In the practice management literature, this system is referred to as "open access." The feedback we got from students this summer is that students would not understand what that meant and that "same-day" better conveys what we are trying to do.
Q: So how is this open access/same day system better?
A: What we have done is changed all our clinician schedules so that at the start of each day, each clinician has 60-80% of their appointment slots unfilled. Those get filled up as students call or come in and ask to be seen quickly. Let's say someone comes into the health center with a sore throat and wants to be seen. In the old system, they'd have to wait until everyone in front of them gets seen – that might be 30 minutes or 3 hours. Under this system, they might be able to be seen right away or get an appointment for 1 or 2 hours later. They'll still be seen in a timely fashion but they won't have to wait in the Health Center. With an appointment in hand, they can go off to the library, run some errands or go back to their dorm room or apartment until it's time for them to be seen.
Q: Won't the same problem with long wait times happen if a lot of students come in at once?
A: We don't think so. We went back over the past few years and looked at how students utilized the Health Center. Approximately 50% came in through the walk-in system and that was over the course of the entire day. We are starting each day with about 60% of slots free so we think we will be able to accommodate the demand. Each student will be given an appointment that works for them and they won't have to sit in the Health Center until that time arrives. But we'll have to wait to see and adjust if necessary.
Q: When and how can I get a "same-day" appointment?
Monday's same day appointments will be released at 0830 that day. Same-day appointments for Tuesday through Friday will be released at 1 PM the previous day. So if a student walks in on Tuesday after 1 PM and wants an appointment, they might be able to get one that afternoon; if not, they'd be able to book it for the next day. Students can come by or call to schedule a same-day.
Q: What's the difference between a "same-day" and a "scheduled" appointment – aren't they both scheduled?
A: That's correct – the wording gets kind of awkward. The difference is when the appointment slot can be filled. We are using "same-day" to refer to the open slots in each clinician's schedule that cannot be filled until that morning on Monday on until 1 PM the previous day for Tuesday through Friday "same-day" slots. These slots/appointments are to be used to accommodate students who have an urgent or pressing problem.
The "scheduled" appointments are ones that can be booked weeks in advance. These slots are designed to be used by students who want to be seen for something that is not urgent: an annual gynecologic exam, a travel consult or a physical exam. Or for someone who comes in with a symptom that they have had for weeks and want to get checked out (for example headaches). These "scheduled" appointmrnts are also meant for students with chronic illnesses such as asthma or diabetes or high blood pressure who may need regular visits (perhaps weekly or monthly) to monitor how they are doing. Students with a bad case of mono often need to be seen weekly for 3-4 weeks so they also can use up one of these "scheduled" appointments. Women who are starting birth control for the first time usually need to come back at least once to make sure everything is okay – so both the initial and first follow-up visit could go into a "scheduled" appointment slot. The major difference between the two is that "same-days" are really geared towards accommodating students with acute illnesses or injuries.
Q: How will you know if the system is working?
A: We think Hopkins students are pretty good at letting us know if things aren't working for them. We plan to meet with the RAs in a month or two and also with the students that advised us over the summer to get feedback. We'll also check each day to see if there are students who come in with an acute problem that can't be accommodated in a timely fashion. Students should also feel free to email Dr. Alain Joffe, the Director (firstname.lastname@example.com). We're always looking for constructive feedback and helpful suggestions.

Mr. Vikram Ahuja
GMAT Score 720
How did you know about Kaplan?
A year ago, I took my first GMAT Test. I prepared by myself and everything was going quite well until I saw my score on the computer screen. It was low and I was embarrassed. Since then, I started to seek help. I asked my friends, my collegues, and my teachers. Almost everyone recommended Kaplan, saying that the school has a well-designed curriculum, good facilities, and great teacher. After exploring the school by myself, it was not hard to choose between Kaplan and other schools.
How did Kaplan's curriculum, facilities and materials help you to prepare for the test?
What I found most helpful was Kaplan's curriculum and its practice books. They made me feel that the school did a lot of research and put great effort to come up with a book that suits students in every level. Smarter students can benefit from thousands of questions in the online preparation tests.
How did you plan yourself for the GMAT in terms of time management?
Keep the Kaplan's time management techniques in mind. That's all.
What techniques did you use to get a higher score?
I set a challenging target. If you are thinking of 600, make it 650. If you are thinking
700, make it 750. Be focused. Put as much effort in every lesson in class as in every question in the test. Also, don't forgot to manage your limited time. Every test-taker has the same amount of time. The better you use it, the higher score you will achieve.
Did Kaplan's strategies help you get a higher score?
Absolutely, Strategies are Kaplan's strongest point. I like the match classes. Every techniques the teacher taught was practically useful. Verbal classes are more focused, and the most beneficial lesson was the time management. Kaplan strategies allowed me to finish every part of the test on time!
Do you have any encouraging words to friends who are preparing for the test?
Just do it

Definition of ansatz in English:
ansatzLine breaks: an¦satz
Pronunciation: /ˈansats /
An assumption about the form of an unknown function which is made in order to facilitate solution of an equation or other problem.
More example sentences
- The conventional ansatz for the B-state dominance in S65T is that the negative charge on the anionic Glu - 222 prevents wt-Cro ionization in the GS and conversely, the neutral Glu - 222 in the S65T mutant permits its permanent ionization.
- This observation is harder to rationalize within the conventional ansatz, that Thr - 203 rotates to form the HB to the anion only after ESPT.
- Using this approximation ansatz, several problems concerning planar rods reduce to elementary geometry, as seen from the following simple but illustrative examples.
1940s: from German Ansatz 'approach, attempt'.

Loss can take many forms — from death to the loss of a way of life — and this week's contributors find ways to cope with those feelings.

Wild Violet Featured Works: Week of Oct. 14 (Parenting)
Parenting leads to both challenging and rewarding experiences that most people could never have anticipated beforehand.

Wild Violet Featured Works: Week of Oct. 7 (Cats)
My cat, Luke, protects our house When we put out a call for works involving pets, all that came were cats. Perhaps it's because cats look so mysterious: they allow us to project onto them all our emotions. Or perhaps there really is something ineffably marvelous about cats. You be the judge. In Margaret Karmazin's science-fiction story, "Brodsky," a woman begins to suspect that her cat may be keeping secrets. The poem by Pamela Hill Epps, "At My Feet," explores the relationship between humans and cats. In Barbara Kussow's poem,...Read More
Wild Violet Featured Works: Week of Sep. 2 (Labor Day)
Labor Day, the American celebration of workers, also signifies the beginning of the transition from summer to fall. This week's contributors celebrate the two meanings of the holiday. Jane Bowman Smith's poem, "Wrightsville Beach: Observation Lesson," shows us a writer's distant view of the world. Mahnaz Badihian's poem, "Gathas," takes a lyrical look at the turn of the seasons.

This is my first official post on tumblr. I believe i will be using this to update any reader who stumbles upon this blog (may god have merci on your soul) of various things in categories such as comics, gaming, music, and randomosity. As you will come to learn very quickly I am a huge My Chemical Romance fan with a teensy lust for Gerard Way *Cough*. I love DC comics the best but also enjoy SLG, Dark Horse, Marvel ect. You know the rest. It's truly hard to pick my favorite game. No seriously I refuse to do it. I will however tell you that i enjoy Zelda a very lot and Final Fantasy. Many of the N64 titles because, well, that's my generation. As well as more modern and older games. I may occasionally review a game and rant on and on and on and on and on and on and on and -BANG- okay…you get the picture. Anyhow, it would be pretty cool to get some polls running on things for a bigger view on topics because honestly not everyone likes to hear a teenage nerd rant on about her opinion on video games and comics…although i WILL do that. Now, I'd like to say that I do in addition to my slight obsession with mentioned band i do have favorite comic characters, that i may favor over others. For example: Harley Quinn and the Joker. I sometimes get carried away with meshing them into two because honestly what is one without the other? Sure, they are just as cool by themselves but they seriously compliment each other. Harley is the only one Joker can stand for as long as he does even though he may get a *tad* frustrated once in a while. Harley was completely normal before meeting him and became something very different than the sophisticated psychiatrist she was. So all in all (not really because i have so much more to rant about this topic which i will do on a later date) they are my favorite comic villains, although i sure have a soft spot for all Batman villains. My favorite comic super hero (is she? It's kind of indifferent but for the most part good so…) Crazy Jane from the Grant Morrison run of Doom Patrol. She is completely unique of any super hero character ever created. She has 64 personalities! Each with their own power! How is that not cool beyond belief? Some of them a bit useless but others are crazy killing machines, others completely useful. She's really overlooked as a character in the DC universe but i really think she's one of the most intriguing characters developed by DC comics. Props to Grant Morrison! And finally, characters that you really don't know if they're good or evil. It's a tie between Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Rorschach. Okay, i understand if you're sitting there like "Uh, Nny is totally evil he kills tons of people!!", yeah but he's not really evil, he tries to stop killing and has some very sane moments (very few) but he's still a likable character. Not someone you'd want to try to hug as many fans decree but fun to read about in a comic book. (Honestly, i'm a JV fan too but the majority of them are really creepily obsessed with his stuff, it makes you think of how he sleeps at night knowing people are curled up with his comics and Zim stuffed toys practically licking the pages.) Anyway, Rorschach, from Watchmen, is the PERFECT anti-hero! Everything that guy says is so perfectly dark in a crazed, "What the hell is wrong with this world?!" way. He's not evil, but he's not working for anyone claiming to be a good guy either. Simply awesome character. Damn i love that comic. To end this introduction turned into a comic book character rant, i'd like to say that i would certainly love feedback on my blog entries so please feel free to contact me via twitter or right here on tmblr and leave a comment or two, or just wave your fist at me while screaming that i'm just a bloody kid and you want me to leave your lawn ornaments alone. In which case, you don't need to read my blog, or you need to redecorate your lawn.

by Jim Weaver, K8JE
How the ARRL operates seems to be a mystery to many members. The confusion probably comes from the fact that many members assume ARRL in organized and operates the same way as their local club. It doesn't. Somewhat like the U.S. Government, ARRL has three branches of its organization. These are the Board of Directors, the Field Organization and the HQ Staff.
The Board of Directors, including the Vice Directors, are elected by members of the divisions they represent. In the case of the Great Lakes Division (GLD), these members are from Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio. The Board of Directors establish policy for the ARRL and is headed by the ARRL president who, along with the other officers, is elected by the Board.
The Field Organization is the group of volunteers that provide eight crucial services: emergency communications, message traffic, volunteer monitoring, RFI problem-solving, support of affiliated clubs, government liaison, encouragement of technical activities, and dissemination of on-the-air bulletins. The field organization is headed in each section by the section manager (SM).
Section managers are elected by members of the Sections they represent and head activities in their Sections to put League policy into effect at the field level.. The GLD consists of three sections, the Kentucky Section, the Michigan Section, and the Ohio Section. Each section spans the entire state.
The biggest part of the SM's job is coordinating the activities of the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) in his or her section. Each section has hundreds of ARES members, so you can imagine what a gargantuan effort this is. Being an effective SM means a person must be willing to dedicate great effort to the job and must be an excellent, skilled leader.
The ARRL HQ staff support the field organization and provide a variety of other member services. The staff is headed by our Chief Executive Officer, who is hired by the Board and reports to the Board. The CEO is responsible for putting Board policy into action at headquarters and, through the services HQ performs, for the members.
Even though many members believe their SM reports to their Director, this is incorrect. Dale Williams, WA8EFK (MI), Jim Brooks, KY4Z (KY) and Frank Piper, KI8GW (OH) do not report to me. They report to Dave Patton, NN1N at HQ, who heads the ARRL membership services department, which supports the Field Organization.
The three Sections in the Great Lakes Division are extremely fortunate to have members who care enough for Amateur Radio and the ARRL to be willing to devote the extensive amount of time and effort to doing the job and, finally, who have the skills and knowledge to be successful, top-notch SMs.
It is obvious from their success that Dale, WA8EFK; Jim, KY4Z; and Frank, KI8GW are excellent SM. Their past successes are indisputable evidence that they have everything needed to do the job. We in the GLD are indeed fortunate to have such high-quality SMs leading our sections.
NOTE: This article first appeared in Weaver's Words, an e-mail newsletter sent to members of the Great Lakes Division. It did such a good job of explaining the ARRL organization, I got permission from K8JE to post it here……Dan
