beyerdynamic A1 High-End Stereo Headphone Amplifier
The beyerdynamic A1: the uncompromising "true companion" for your headphones and a pure masterpiece in audio achievement.
The A1 headphone amplifier operates headphones with nominal impedance from 30 to 600 ohms. It provides excellent audio quality with high volume and strong bass response. The special circuit design features an amazingly natural sound reproduction with an excellent resolution and spatiality, transmitting at 96 kHz for transmission of the whole frequency response of a SA-CD or DVD audio. A microprocessor-controlled relay lets you silently select two high-class stereo sound sources. Volume control is made of solid aluminum with a high-grade ALPS potentiometer inside. The gold-plated RCA connectors on the back allow signal transmission from audio sources without loss. A large-dimensioned toroidal core transformer ensures high fidelity of impulse and dynamics. The combination of selected high-grade components allows even the highest-impedance headphones to be driven flawlessly over the entire frequency range. High impedance at the headphones output ensures the control range of the volume potentiometer to be perfect for low-impedance headphones, too. One input is passively connected with the lineout of the A1 to loop through incoming signals even when the A1 is in stand-by mode. Two blue LEDs on the front display the active signal input, another multicolor LED shows the operating status (stand-by or active). Stereo headphone amplifier is made in Germany. Includes toroidal power transformer, 1 line output, 2 audio inputs (gold-plated RCA), 32 ohm to 600 ohm headphones, T.H.D. 0.001% at 170 mW / 250 ohm, for use with all dynamic headphones.

Seriously? Does that device still exist?

(bt stands for Bold Touch in case).
I cant Believe RIM has made the torch obsolete in less than a year... one step closer to iPhone or Android.
Not only dose it exist, but it's thriving. I love mine, and would never consider going back to a smaller screen, or touch keyboard.
well had 9700 and got 9800 and I'm gonna pass until torch 2 arrives. no need for downgrade of screen.
Look forward to it.
Everything is a little slicker and smoother, and a tad quicker too, a worthwhile update from 536
i'm on a mac and in the netherlands and on vodafone, am i able to upgrade my torch with this ?
or do i need an official vodafone Netherlands carrier upgrade ?
Kinda pissed right now installed this update earlier. I play music heavily from my phone and I notice that unless the screen is actually showing the now playing screen all the button controls don't work. The Play/Pause and volume controls (both for volume and track skips) DO NOT WORK! Tried rebooting to see if that changed anything but it didn't. That's pretty stupid thing to change if you ask me. Downgrading to .526 cuz I cannot manage without my music controls when I want em. Everything else seems fine though, this was the only problem I had with it
CAREFUL! Some users reported, that the E-Mail Setup wizard is not working! If you try to leave, the phone will freeze!
It shows facebook is already installed, but cannot find icon anywhere, also same for app world. and suddenly twitter started working here in K.S.A. OS 18.104.22.1686 Torch Carrier Mobily.
Of course, this version was packaged with an older version of BBM (188.8.131.52 I think?) so it wiped out my BB BetaZone version of 126.96.36.199. Just thought I would put that out there in case people are wondering what happened to their 'latest' version of BBM.
After opening App World, I was prompted to upgrade to the latest offish version (5.0.3.xx) and I am glad I did because the beta BBM6 was a buggy piece of shite.
Piece out my sistas.
man yall talk about like the bold touch or bold 9900 whatever its called is gonna be the greatest blackberry to come out.. even tho it is a nice looking phone with a great idea to it but in my opinion i think the screen is small for a touchscreen phone and watch when the torch 2 emerges then ppl are gonna go crazy for that... its just whatever phone that comes out ppl are gonna want... truthfully i could of hold on and waited for the bold 9900 to come out but i just ordered a white torch and waiting for it and is excited
What can i say, the torch is the best and its more reliable than any computers in the house. I run my whole business from it (quotes, invoices, accounting). I agree with what you've said and you will enjoy your Torch. Must admit, I'll be waiting for this one to run out of contract then the Torch 2.
I'm with you on that!
thanks i see i am not the only one thats disagrees with it but then again it all depends on everyones individual interest.. the leaks info i see about the torch 2 doesnt really seem to be much different between the first generation torch cept that its a bit more powerful and new os but who knows... ppl that have the torch seem to be satisfied with the phone and i think i will be to but i know this phone will keep me happy for a while maybe couple years down the road and see what rim is gonna do with the new generation of blackberrys
I'm waiting on this one as well. I love my Torch and all that it does. And to have a version with a 1.2GHz processor onboard...Fire!!!
For me I have recently upgraded my Torch to OS 184.108.40.2064 made official by Bell Canada (and I have a Bell branded Torch) and it has been nothing but garbage.
- It is slower and laggy.
- It crashes regularly.
- it doesn't always capture pictures (which only started happening since I installed this OS).
- when I take a bunch of pictures with a full battery it will drain to below 10% in seconds.
I am hoping this OS will be better.
This is what I get after installing

It's not bad. The dialogue is a little hardboiled and overcooked at times, and sometimes you find yourself thinking "Do wolves REALLY behave like that?", but I think the good points outweigh the bad, overall.
I have a friend, Paul Smith, who's a zookeeper (no, he didn't buy a zoo; he works for one) who expected to hate it, but according to his Twitter review, ended up liking the cinematic aspects & the human acting a lot. However, the wolf behavior was (his words) "bollocks. I have no patience for films that ascribe almost supernatural menace to wild animals." (@Haunt1013).
For those who don't care so much about actual wolf behavior, or who are willing to view them as metaphors, it probably works pretty well.

Ah, this comment calls to mind our back-and-forth in the Smokin' Aces thread. I've enjoyed telling fellow critics who mention The Grey to me that I enjoyed Smokin' Aces, then watching their reactions to my comment.
I like director Joe Carnahan's 2002 movie Narc quite a bit (a like I question with each terrible movie he's released since), so it's good to see that it seems like he's made that that isn't completely dreadful.

It's good. The trailers make it look like that Anthony Hopkins/Alec Baldwin movie The Edge, but it's nothing like that. There's a lot of stuff about fathers and children and the silence of God. Some of Liam Neeson's cohorts are "ex-con" stereotypes at first, but then those stereotypes are shattered as the movie progresses.

Yes, that movie, as I remember it, is a man-vs.-nature, overcoming the odds type film. In The Grey, we see Liam Neeson with a gun in his mouth contemplating suicide within the first five minutes. And it only gets darker after that.

... the first truly great 2012 release.
The Grey has its mind on God, or at least His imprint on it. What gives humans the grace to die well? What is it really that separates us from animals and makes us, for example, willing to appreciate a handshake, a memory, and a mountain vista in our final moments of life? The image of God which we bear. It sets us apart. It is the light that gives reprieve from the "only the strong survive" darkness. It is the light which, in clashing with the dark, creates the grey.

My review.
The Grey is a thoughtful, tough-minded little tale of survival and attrition that sets its sights a bit further than its firepower takes it. Its assets include a sweeping Alaskan canvas as breathtaking as it is punishing, a consciousness of mortality and meaning rare in an action film, an uncompromising story-arc—and, crucially, the haggard face and haunted eyes of Liam Neeson, who balances indomitable toughness and brittle brokenness better than perhaps any other Hollywood star today...
Its liabilities include some plodding dialogue and lapses in plausibility at times bordering on the perverse, particularly with regard to an almost mystical wolf pack dogging the ragtag band of humans stranded in their territory by a plane crash in a blizzard. One of the characters wonders, in a quiet moment, whether the odds against their having survived against such odds suggests that they were "meant" to live. By the climactic scene's ironic twist, it's hard to avoid the impression that the universe has been toying with them and was out to get them from the start...
The circumstances are dire. Perhaps too dire. The wolves are not only extraordinarily large and powerful and ferocious, but uncannily cunning as well. In one sequence the remaining humans go to astonishing lengths to move on from the wolves' territory—but as soon as one of them missteps, the wolves are right there to pick him off. For the record, a review of the film at the International Wolf Center blog calls The Grey a "monster movie," adding that it's about "as accurate a portrayal of wolf behavior as King Kong was about gorillas."...
The idea of a wolf pack deep in the wild harrying a group of several able-bodied men and picking them off one by one is unrealistic, though the movie's biggest gaffe is the conceit of "the den" as a sort of established home base for the entire pack, littered with the carcasses of past kills. In reality, a den is a temporary home for birthing mothers in the spring...
Can we accept those conceits for the sake of the movie? After all, King Kong is generally considered a pretty good flick. Well, yes and no. King Kong is overtly escapist fantasy, while The Grey seeks to be a grimly realistic survival movie. I appreciate that unlike last winter's nihilistic tale of attrition, the execrable Sanctum, The Grey doesn't cheapen life and death, and shows some interest in the big questions. But stacking the deck too improbably against the survivors is as damaging to suspension of disbelief as benevolent coincidences ushering a happy ending...
It is possible to discern a ray of grace in the darkness that surrounds Ottway. Like the real world, the world of The Grey doesn't oblige us either to acknowledge God or to deny Him. If we choose, we can hear His voice speaking a word of reassurance. If we don't, the movie doesn't press the point. In the end, though, it's on this world that The Grey has its eyes.

Posted 16 February 2012 - 11:21 AM
A little late, but here are my initial thoughts on the film:
One of The Grey's most significant problems is a predictability that seems governed by life's supposed ontic cruelty. Not only is it almost certain that Neeson's character is going to be the last one remaining, but the others' deaths are sometimes laughably predictable, the only source of light in what is often an assaultingly grim experience. At what seems like the film's climactic moment of anguish, Ottway, all alone in the Alaskan wilderness now, cries out to God for help in a profanity-laced tirade. Yelling at the sky, he calls God "fraudulent" and pleads "show me something real!" When there's no answer in the way that he's demanded, Ottway, in what is pitched as a heroic moment, states that he'll do it himself.
Ottway is in the middle of the wolves' den, and he alone must fight against a god seemingly identified with a heartless nature. Having saved the wallets for the families of the deceased, Ottway takes a tragic look at the familial mementos that fill each of the wallets. On the film's terms, all that we have to cherish in this world is each other: if we lose our loved ones, then all is lost. And since we will lose them, then emptiness — nothingness — is our fate. All that remains is striving to survive.
What a shame that these wallets don't function to reassure Ottway in some small but powerful way — a shame that his fears were not assuaged by the truth of humanity's desire for home in the fullest sense. Perhaps the significance of the wallets' contents could better clarify the seemingly gray fog of God's transcendence and humanity's existence than a relentless pack of wolves in the dead of an Alaskan blizzard. Faith being belief in the evidence of things unseen, these wallets — along with Ottway's persevering commitment to help his comrades survive, and even the film's serious treatment of death — pose quite a formidable case for something at the heart of existence that is less dire than man versus wild.

Just read through your review, SDG. "Stacking the deck against the survivors" is precisely the problem I had (well, one of them).
I liked this film quite a bit, but I had a negative reaction in the opposite direction. I don't think the deck was stacked ENOUGH against the survivors. The only real peril comes from the cartoonish wolves. The frigid temperatures, hunger and thirst never seem to be real issues for these guys as they stumble about in the wilderness. As SDG notes, Neeson's character falls in an icy river. Yes, in real life he'd be dead within an hour. But I don't think the movie even bothers with that detail. In the next scene, he looks dry and ready to rumble with the big bad wolf. There's nothing to suggest that Neeson's character was in danger of succumbing to the cold. It's all about the wolves, baby.
Posted 16 February 2012 - 03:17 PM
I don't think this is a contradiction, actually. The circumstances themselves are perversely inhospitable, but the survivors are allowed to be ridiculously hard to kill.

This post has been on a back burner for a while, but I remembered it when I read Will Manley's November 22 entry that developed into a discussion about what library school does and does not teach you.
Looking back, a library school course I would have taken in a heartbeat was "Computer Programming for Libraries." It would have been unrealistic to expect to learn programming from scratch, but it could have been an introduction to various languages, and there could have been a sandbox for trying out different projects, all related to libraries.
I would have loved to take this class for a variety of reasons. I know that systems change, but many of them are built using similar design principles and programming languages. In many instances in my career so far, a basic familiarity with some of the languages and applications would have been really helpful. I did take classes that covered database design and networks, and they have proven helpful but weren't enough.
People who have experience coding and then decide to go to library school are few and far between, and I would guess that most of my classmates would have found this course valuable too. From what I've seen, libraries that have computer programmers on staff tend to hold on to them tightly. A nice piece in Computers in Libraries back in June by Marshall Breeding covered a lot of this.
And I do realize I can learn basic programming on my own. Plenty of librarians teach themselves programming on the job. I know there are a variety of opportunities to roll up my sleeves and get my feet wet, and I know there are a lot of great online programming communities. Plus I did take an introductory programming class at the college where I worked a few years ago.
At the same time, I'm currently stretched thin at my job, and I'm not required or expected to do this. Usually by the time the thought "Gee, I bet this task could be automated with a clever computer program" crosses my mind, I'm already waist-deep into the project and don't have time to go down the rabbit hole of learning the fundamentals of C++, or Java, or PHP, or whatever that particular project would require. This is why I think "Computer Programming for Libraries" would have made a valuable library school class: Some exposure to library-related programming would have been a nice starting point for whatever project I find myself working on.

Rosemont College is pleased to announce The Eye of the Collector: The Jewish Vision of Sigmund R. Balka on exhibition from January 31 to March 18, 2013. An opening reception will take place from 4 - 7 P.M. on January 31 in Lawrence Gallery featuring a talk at 4:30 P.M. by Laura Kruger, curator, Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion Museum. Mr. Balka will be in attendance.
The exhibit features more than 40 pieces from a significant collection amassed by Sigmund R. Balka over a fifty-year period, now owned by The Hebrew Union College in New York. Sharing the art with the community - in this case in concurrent exhibitions at Rosemont and the Gorevin Gallery at Cabrini College - has always been of key importance to Mr. Balka. "Art is not of value if it is not presented so that people have the opportunity to interact with it. The more public the opportunity to have it speak for itself, the better society is." A selection of paintings, photographs,, drawings and prints by artists such as Rembrandt, Chagall, Max Beckman, George Grosz, and Louise Nevelson, as well as notable Philadelphia artists Will Barnet, Julius Bloch, and Jack Bookbinder will be on display at Rosemont College.
Visual depictions of Jewish secular and religious life in Europe and America prior to the 19th century were not common - most observant Jews kept strict adherence to the 2nd Commandment, Exodus 20:4 "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." Persecution, exile, dislocation and economic restrictions added another dimension that stifled graphic creativity. Not until the mid-19th century, with the Napleonic Wars, and the Emancipation of the Jews, did Jewish artists, depicting Jewish subjects, begin to make an appearance. The 19th and 20th centuries were the golden era of creativity, and constitute the major part of this collection.
Sigmund Balka graduated from Central High School in Philadelphia (where artists Eakins, Glackens and collector Dr. Albert C. Barnes were students) and was influenced by art from an early age.
Lawrence Gallery is located in Lawrence Hall on Rossemont College's campus at 1400 Montgomery Avenue in Rosemont, PA. The gallery's hours are Monday through Friday, 9 A.M. - 8 P.M. Founded in 1921 by the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, Rosemont College is a private, coeducational Catholic institution.

Cheap and Ugly
I thought this was a pink hard case. It is actually a cheap black plastic case with a flimsy pink rubber over sleeve. I'm throwing it away!!!! Not worth paying shipping to send it back!!!!Read More
Great for the price. Nice protection for phoneRead More
I have used it though it is cumbersome and does not stay secured on my phone. It seems to be too flexible.Read More
So flimsy I returned it
Terrible quality - wouldn't have lasted a month.Read More
iPhone 4s Case
The plastic case was just like the more expensive Otter but the rubber outside piece was a little too large to fit properly. Still I used it for well over a couple yearsRead More
Pictures don't tell the story
It's a wanna be knockoff Otterbox product. It'd be hard to mess up a hard plastic case with a second, knock/bump resistant sleeve....but this manufacturer did. I wouldn't purchase this product again. When I got it the lack of quality was evident. After putting the phone inside the inner case, I installed the soft silicone skin and the port covers wouldn't stay closed, or would bunch up around the bottom when I tried to tuck them in. I'm not happy and it's really not worth the time, effort to try to return for a refund. There is truth in the old adage "you get what you pay for'. Sometimes there's a product which is close, this isn't it.Read More
4s phone case
this is a cheaply made knock-off of the OtterBox case. shipping was as promised. it was obvious on arrival that the product was cheaply made and not something i was going to use on the phone. there were pieces of rubber still attached around the edges (like from the mold) that needed to be removed. it was all extremely light and, if i had chosen to, i could have snapped the plastic case with next to no effort. we tried it on just to say we did and it was very ill fitted. the plastic part snapped on ok but would have broken easily if put on and off a few times. the outer rubber piece puckered up and created gaps where you could see the plastic underneath. its difficult to describe and i really wish i had taken a picture. i do not think this product would protect the phone from impact damage. we sent it back immediately and i would not recommend this product to anyone. not even as a backup.Read More
It's ok
It does the purpose. You get what you pay for!! Cheap cheap!!Read More
Basic case
The case serves it's purpose and protects the phone. However the plastic is not clear and sometimes prevents you from scrolling or you have to press hard to make your selection on the screen. The outer rubber part keeps coming apart from the hard plastic which is annoying. It's ok for the cost of it but I will buy something better quality with a clearer plastic screen next time.Read More
Good for the price
I got this as a spare rugged case. I didnt want to spend the $40+ for the big name brand. For what this sells for it is a good alternative.Read More

Men's Tennis Falters at ITA Championships - One Doubles Team Remains
Saturday, October 05, 2002Chattanooga, Tenn. (October 5, 2002) - East Tennessee State men's tennis failed to advance any singles players into the qualifying round of the 2002 ITA All-American Championships, while the fate of one doubles team is still to be determined at this weekend's pre-qualifying round at The Champions Club in Chattanooga, Tenn. Francisco Diaz (Weston, Fla.) fell to Rylan Rizza (6-0, 6-2); Diego Iglesias (Mar del Plata, Argentina) dropped a three-set match to Willy Gali (5-7, 6-4, 6-3); Alejandro Salazar (Arequipa, Peru) lost to Troy Hahn (6-1, 7-5); and Andy Metzler defeated Bucaramanga, Colombia's Moises Serrano (6-4, 6-2). The abovementioned singles players each won their first round matches on Friday night, before being eliminated in the round of 128 on Saturday. "It was a tough day for our program," stated ETSU head coach Dave Mullins. "We had a couple of close, winnable matches, but we let them get away. All in all, it was a tough time." In doubles action, Serrano/Federico Ochoa(Manizales, Colombia) lost their first round match 8-2, while Salazar/Iglesias received a first round bye into the round of 64 and will play on Sunday to determine whether they will advance to the qualifying round early next week.

WOONSOCKET --- One bad minute of hockey at the end of the second period turned out to be Mount St. Charles Academy's undoing on Friday night in its showdown against the No. 7 ranked team in Massachusetts.
Malden Catholic snapped a 1-1 tie by scoring twice in the final 36 seconds of that middle period and held onto its lead through a wild final period en route to a 5-3 victory before a large gathering at Adelard Arena.
Brian Belisle scored a pair of goals to lead the Mounties, and goalie Brian Larence turned away 47 shots in an excellent performance, but those two efforts alone weren't enough to prevent the Mounties from falling to 9-4.
And like its 4-1 setback on Monday to Cathedral of Springfield, Mass., the No. 1 ranked team in the Bay State, this defeat counts on the Mounties' record in the Division I-Cimini standings. Mount, Bishop Hendricken, and La Salle each have two games against out-of-state teams this season that are included in their league schedules.
The victory was the fourth in a row for the Lancers, who jumped into the Top 10 in Mass. earlier this week and are now 9-6-3. Malden Catholic sports a young roster with just three seniors who are two winters removed from the Lancers' second straight Mass. 'Super 8' state championship season.
The Lancers drew first blood 8:49 into the game on a goal by Brian Cameron that came off a faceoff won by Patrick Wrenn to the right of Larence. Cameron blasted a slap shot that sailed over Larence's glove and into the back of the net.
The visitors nearly doubled their lead 2½ minutes later on a wristshot by Tyler Sifferlen that clanged off the post. But after Larence made a brilliant save on the rebound, Mount quickly brought the puck down the other end of the ice, and Belisle knotted the score by popping in a pass from Tyler Scroggins.
For the first two-thirds of the second period, the Mounties had more than their share of chances to take the lead. They hit the right post with three shots in the first 7:25 of play and saw a 5-on-3 power play that lasted 68 seconds result in just one shot.
The Lancers then made their move in the final minute. After Sifferlin hit the crossbar on a 2-on-1 break with 57 seconds to play, the Lancers grabbed the lead 21 seconds later on a goal by Mike Iovanna that was set up by Ara Nazarian.
After Iovanna's goal was announced to the audience, the Lancers struck again, this time on a goal by Nazarian with 8.9 seconds on the clock. It was the Lancers' fifth shot of the minute.
With 7:55 to play in the game, Belisle gave the Mounties a lift by cutting their deficit in half by tapping in the rebound of his own shot past Maloney, but less than two minutes later, M.C. got its two-goal lead back on Iovanna's second goal of the night.
Again, the Mounties struck again, when with 4:42 on the clock, Scroggins (who received a nasty open ice hit with 8:39 left in the second period) lit the lamp by taking a pass from Belisle and zipping a wristshot just under the crossbar.
But again, the Lancers reclaimed their two-goal lead, as Nick Rolli notched a power play goal with 3:03 to play by slipping a shot between Larence's pads. The Mounties did their best to respond, and eventually lifted Larence for a sixth attacker, but they couldn't trim their deficit back to a goal.
While this game featured plenty of shots (Malden Catholic outshot MSC, 52-41), it also offered plenty of hitting and a total of 14 minor penalties. The Lancers got tagged for 10 of them, but the Mounties could only managed their two power-play goals off them.
The Mounties return to the R.I. portion of their schedule tonight with a 9 p.m. game back at Adelard against Smithfield. They will then play four more regular-season games before turning their attention to the postseason.

Season after season, we always make a super-special save-the-date for Michael Bastian's show. For prep with a dangerous streak, there's no one we trust more than MB. And, for fall '13, he delivered the clean, streamlined looks as expected. However, this season, he also exposed us to the dark, brooding, and even menacing side of the Boston Brahmin set.
The 2011 CFDA menswear designer of the year got editors buzzing with the actual runway space (a random, gigantic hangar of a spot in the Penn Station 'hood), which was literally pumped with perfume courtesy of luxe fragrance house AEDES. (There was even an epic disclaimer outside stating, "Please note that the space is scented.") But, who doesn't love musk, especially combined with never-ending ceilings, concrete, and a giant redwing blackbird installation. Did it feel like Sunday mass? A little, but awesomely so.
In keeping with the gothic atmosphere, Michael drew inspiration from Maine-based painter Andrew Wyeth, whose pictures Bastian says "always invite you to go deeper — what might look in passing like a simple landscape or portrait always holds darker secrets and invites you to step deeper into his complicated world." Cooly complicated is exactly how we'd describe the pieces — fabricated in an melancholic and ominous color palette of blacks, olives, storm cloud blues, and bark. Sharp suits, capes, boldly patterned sweaters, and, yes, giant fur gloves — worn by models who ran the gamut in looks from dandy to porn star (check out the guy in the denim on denim) to female model Casey Legler's NYFW debut — made for a slick style roller coaster. And, just when we think we've hit rock bottom, Bastian teases us with pops of hunter orange and raincoat yellow. Clearly, we like it when he's moody.
If you're not on too much of an emotional ride from V-Day, click through to see Michael Bastian's entire fall '13 collection.

You wash and moisturize your face twice a day (or at least once a day—sleeping in makeup is a big no-no!), so it's safe to say you already have a cleanser and face lotion on heavy rotation. But add scrubs, masks, and zit-zapping potions to the mix, and you've got a full-on skincare product regimen—and the potential to drop some serious cash at the beauty counter. To help keep your beauty budget in line, we rounded up 10 top contenders in the affordable, drugstore beauty category that also meet our must-work criteria, and come in under $10. We dare you not to pick up a few.

no one sends cards anymore That's kinda sad, I get maybe three a year. But I don't send them so I can't exactly point any fingers..
so how does this work? Do we exchange pm's with the folks we want to trade with? Is there another way? Perhaps we can have a thread with our names and addresses and we can 'surprise' each other with cards...or is that too weird? I'm not all weird about posting my personal information but I understand that some might be uncomfortable with that.

Judith Executive Director/Vice President, Securities Lending Technology Technology Division, London
Additional Videos You Might Be Interested In
"Working practices are quite flexible here. I am able to work from home if I need to, and I know many men and women that have working arrangements that allow them to fulfill commitments around their family lives."
I received an MSci in Computer Science from University College London.
Career Development
When I joined the firm as a graduate, I was sent to New York for the technology new-hire program along with other people who had just joined my division.
Over about a month and a half, we received a mix of business- and technology-related training and had the opportunity to meet colleagues from other regions and divisions. The technology side of the program covered a variety of different development languages that we would need for our roles as new analysts.
When I joined my new team I was given training on the specific business area where I was working as well as the systems that we developed to support our users.
Teamwork is one of the things that we do well here. The groups I've worked with have been most successful creatively when we've had contributions from people with different backgrounds and levels of expertise. They've brought fresh perspectives on solutions, helped us challenge our conventional thinking and come up with creative solutions that fit the needs of our clients.
Career Path
I joined the firm as an analyst in 2003 in the FX Operations Technology team after spending the previous summer as an intern in Firmwide Technology. I worked as a Java developer, building a number of systems in or around our team's core application base.
In 2006 I joined the Derivatives Prime Brokerage (DPB) team, which was building out its London presence at the time. For the next few years, I developed platforms in a variety of languages, including Java and the firm's proprietary language, SecDB. I worked with our portal and core trading teams as well as external vendors on a number of initiatives for the business.
In the middle of last year, I joined the Securities Lending Technology team where I helped rebuild its profit and loss estimation system. This summer I moved on to lead our newly formed pricing team, which provides consistent pricing for our customers across our product offerings.
Giving Back
For the past six years, I have served as technology team captain for University College London. One of the most enjoyable aspects of doing this is getting to meet and work with the school's students. We are involved in a couple of courses that help them develop personal and professional skills they need to achieve success in their ultimate career choices. I've been back to the university in this capacity every year since I joined the firm. I really enjoyed my own time as an undergraduate there, so I feel it's important to give back to my department and its students in this way.
Each employee has the opportunity to spend one day a year working for a local charitable cause through our Community TeamWorks initiative. We're usually spoilt for choice for ways that we can get involved, and I've always been able to find a project with a charity or cause that I felt personally resonated with me.
Affinity Networks
I belong to two affinity groups: European Women in Technology and the Firmwide Black Network. Both are very active, open and inclusive. They put on a variety of social events as well as sessions aimed at enhancing our professional development.
Membership has helped me build up my professional network both within my division and externally. I've met people from these groups who have become my friends and informal mentors.
When you apply, think about why you want to join the firm and where you feel you may be best placed. Use our web site and attend our recruiting events to do your research to answer these questions.
Focus on what can you bring to the firm and how you can differentiate yourself from other candidates. Think about what makes you special. If you don't have industry experience yet, have you picked up transferrable skills from any courses or part-time work?
People who enjoy challenging themselves, taking ownership, working in a team and are good communicators that strive to learn are those that you'll tend to find working here.

In preparation for Pope Francis' upcoming visit to the United States, GLAAD has released "The Papal Visit: A journalist's guide to reporting on Pope Francis and the LGBT community," a resource guide for journalists covering Pope Francis and LGBT Catholics.
The GLAAD Studio Responsibility Index (SRI) maps the quantity, quality and diversity of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in films released by seven major motion picture studios during the 2014 calendar year. GLAAD researched films released by 20th Century Fox, Lionsgate, Paramount Pictures, Sony Columbia, Universal Pictures, The Walt Disney Studios and Warner Brothers. For the first time, GLAAD this year also tracked LGBT representations in films released by four major subsidiary studios. The report is intended to serve as a road map toward increasing fair, accurate and inclusive LGBT film representations.
The reality of HIV and AIDS has evolved in the United States since it was first brought to public consciousness in the 1980s. While we have seen significant progress on prevention and treatment, public understanding lags and the unwarranted negative stigma associated with the disease continues to be an obstacle to eradication.

In recognition of Transgender Awareness Week and the Transgender Day of Remembrance, GLAAD has reviewed its archives of transgender-inclusive television episodes over the past ten years, and found that a great deal of progress still needs to be made for fair and accurate depictions of the transgender community.
The following guidelines will help you ensure that transgender victims of violent crimes are always treated respectfully and fairly. These guidelines apply to all stories that involve the transgender community, but are especially important when the person has been attacked or killed.
On November 12 - 20, individuals and organizations around the county will participate in Transgender Awareness Week to help raise the visibility of transgender and gender non-conforming people, and address the issues these communities face. The final day of Transgender Awareness Week is the Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), an annual observance on November 20 that honors the memory of those whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. You can read more about Transgender Awareness Week and the Transgender Day of remembrance below, and find out how you can participate.
Why is GLAAD more relevant than ever?
And how can our work lead to full equality for LGBT people?

Mad Men
Posted 26 July 2008 - 07:56 PM
My wife and I watched a few episodes, then let it slip away. But all the awards buzz for it got us interested before the new season starts, so this weekend is a Mad Men Marathon at Chez Manson. Set in 1960 with Camelot just around the corner, it brings back a time that many may think of as a golden age. But the nostalgia carries a lot of negativity. Ubiquitous smoking and drinking (before the smoke/cancer link was let out of the bag, or the alcohol and pregnancy problems were identified). Women are expected to be subservient and always treated as less than competent compared to men. Women's role is to look good, take care of the house, be good in bed. They are sexual objects and use that to get their own kind of reward. The morality reflected in all this is terrible by today's standards, but perhaps much more acceptable at the time (as long, that is, that you kept your affairs well hidden).
It takes place in the world advertising and Madison Avenue. As one minor character notes, the advertiser's job is to promote lies. This world is filled with lies. The lies they sell, of course, but also the lies they live. Especially Don Draper, who we see bits of his past from time to time -- but not as Don Draper. He has created a whole new life and discarded his earlier one.
Don't know why we gave up on it first time through. Well done piece of storytelling.

Did you watch the premier of season 2 last night? The story picks up about 15 months from where season 1 left off. Little happens in this episode from a plot standpoint, but there are a lot of moments that show what has (or has not) changed in the characters. There are still a lot of lies being lived, but it seems that at least a few of the characters are shown being slightly more honest with themselves, if not to the world. If this episode sets the tone for season 2, then there won't be any sophomore slump for Mad Men.

I still find this show to be a fascinatingly well written and well acted train wreck of soap opera cliches. But every time I'm ready to write it off as a show that somehow escaped the Monday - Friday afternoon cavalcade of crap, the complexity of the characters pulls me in again. Last night's episode is a prime example. The portrayal of the Kennedy assassination, and its impact on the main characters, was extraordinarily well done.
I remember the Kennedy assassination well. Part of that is because I and my eight-year-old friends wandered the neighborhood, knocking on random doors, trying to track down the killer in Gahanna, Ohio. Hey, we were eight, and we were stupid. But the reactions we encountered -- horror, disbelief, anger -- are indelibly imprinted in my mind. Those were the same reactions I saw on Mad Men last night. I also thought the way the news was disseminated was pitch-perfect. This was a time when the news was sporadic and far from instantaneous, when one actually stood around a television or radio waiting for the latest bulletin. The show got it exactly right.

I just saw the Season 3 box art, so it should be arriving within the next few weeks or so.
My husband and I really got into this series, on Netflix. Finished watching season 2 a couple nights ago. Problem is, when I went to order the third season, it said "release date unknown" – does anyone have inside information on when it will come out on DVD? I guess there are places on line where you can pay to watch the final episodes – might resort to that, if it's going to be a long wait.
In the meantime, you may want to check your cable company's free-on-demand service. It might be there.
Having gotten into this series this year, watching the entire run up through Season 3, I'll say this: you will not be disappointed. The S3 finale is alternately perfectly heartbreaking and painfully funny, all at once.

... Weiner, consciously or unconsciously, is demonstrating the ways in which America's Old Guard is leading the '50s generation to its end by stubbornly refusing to go forward. Weiner has remarked of that generation of people, "[They were saying,] 'We don't want to be that way. We'd rather fail.'" Clearly, Don Draper is the starring figure of this collapse. He is the Man in the Grey Flannel Suit, an Ayn Rand–ian allegory of a stoic firmly in the past. He is the prototype '50s representative male, confident in his role without, and in turmoil within. Don is member of a dying breed who wants to play by the old business rules, and he can barely conceive of the ways in which advertising is inexorably moving (unlike, say, fellow ad man Pete Campbell). He is a relic waiting to be phased out.
But Weiner's flaw is that he loves Don Draper too much to make him that relic, as intended — he is clearly not going to leave Don in the past, if season-four promotional posters are any indication. So the show attempts to imbue him with the sympathy of the audience, despite his stodgy '50s limits — which leads to all sorts of annoying contradictions ...
Which brings us again to the main political schism for viewers of this show: Conservatives and liberals cannot see the inevitability of the '60s the same way. The hedonism, the "licentious fury" set up in these soldiers of such terrible, soul-destroying consumerism, is about to give way to the tortured emoting of Frank O'Hara and reggae-inspired coffee commercials, both of which have been featured in the past few seasons. But conservatives understand that the hedonism is only just beginning. The Me Generation is about to swing into full effect, after which we lose both the unrepentant ambition and charming earnestness of the American Dream — a phrase never to be uttered without a small smirk again ...
Weiner's chosen narrative posits that our present is much better than the '50s zeitgeist he portrays, but the essential paradox is that he portrays it with so much love and tenderness that it is sometimes impossible to pull out the theme of generational decay. The audience is caught between a mislaid nostalgia for the often sexist and bigoted environment and an equally mislaid moral desire to see it all disappear. As Benjamin Schwarz pointed out in the Atlantic, the show invites us to "indulge in a most unlovely — because wholly unearned — smugness."
Mad Men has lost its way a bit; Weiner, wrapped up in adoring his main character and the intricacies of a period he wants to evaporate, has fallen into a quicksand trap, not wanting to move on, despite his obvious political loyalties to the '60s generation. Critics remarked that the pace of Mad Men has recently slowed to a ponderous crawl, perhaps to allow Weiner time to languish a while. But he is definitely plunging forward now, having commented in an interview that "It's got to be something different. . . . Life is change." Here's hoping that the fourth season marks that change with the same ambivalence we've seen prior, which would prove Weiner is interested in portraying history with a fair hand. Falling into a rote '60s nostalgia would be wholly unwelcome for a show that has come to be known for its nuance.

There's more, read the whole thing with some good comparisons to Tony Soprano
It seems to me that the brilliance of Draper, and of Mad Men as a whole, is its ability to make people born in 1974 or 1983 or 1990 nostalgic for a world they never knew, except through a second-hand public school narrative that paints it in the gray flannel and sharkskin tones we've been trained to find so stultifying. Note, I'm not just talking about the Romanticism of a generation of liberals and feminists waiting pins-and-needles for the deliverance of the 60s. It's a bona fide sense that something was lost that we can't ever get back. Don't get me wrong, there is much that is contemptible in Draper and in the world of Mad Men. And as viewers we are repeatedly invited to wag our fingers at the show's characters. But if we didn't nevertheless feel some sympathy — hell, some empathy — for Draper and the misogynist scoundrels of his milieu; if we didn't see something in that time and place that was worth saving, or nevertheless something which loss was worth fretting about, then the show would be pure pulp. Sexed-up, dime-store genre fiction.
This is where the Natasha is wise. She sees that Mad Men is at its core a dialogue on whether the 60s were necessary or even advisable ... But she's only done half the job when she places that tension exclusively in the political preferences of the beholder, rather than in the very creative fabric of the show. And just as her confident claim that though Draper is "clearly. . .intended" to be a tragic relic (even if Weiner loves him too much to have the courage of his convictions) rings false ... Natasha's flaw is in attributing to a kind of formalistic mistake, a technical flaw in the construction of the show, what should rightly be read into ours and Weiner's very schizophrenia about the 60s, equality, consumerism, the American Dream — the whole kit and caboodle. Indeed, Weiner's schizophrenia is our schizophrenia is Natasha's schizophrenia. She hates Draper (trust me) and everything he stands for. But she loves Mad Men, and so she can't help trying to rationalize away the ugly bits (the show's creators, represented by Weiner, want to have the correct politics, but their pesky "love" for maintaining the integrity, and the appeal, of their work gets in the way.) ...
Jonah Goldberg just prefers Breaking Bad.
Then Natasha Simons responds here.
Mad Men is too self-indulgent, too pleased with itself, too quick to get audiences to look for inside jokes, winks, nods, and allusions. It's too ambitious and not grounded enough. It seeks to satisfy on too many levels and comes up not fully succeeding at any of them. It tries to make too many points. It is a modern allegory more reminiscent of Pilgrim's Progress than its creators are willing to admit. Each character is a type. The show works because we haven't seen many of these types portrayed so well, but their job too often is to represent a Very Important Trend or stand-in for Something Important that is Lost (for good or ill).

It is such a soap opera though--classic tropes: marital shifts, divorce, adultery, office romances, conniving colleagues. All we needed in this season were mysterious illnesses (season 1) and sudden deaths (which I guess it kinda had, thank you John Deere).
I really liked the "blow it all up" ethos of the finale. I'm looking forward to hunkering down with season 4 to see where they go with it. I'm kinda surprised I liked it so much since on the one hand it seemed like such a showrunner choice. That is, I am aware in watching the show of what Weiner and Co. are up to--as opposed to its finer moments when there seems that there's no other options for it to go except for where it's going. In this case, its seams showed, yet I was totally enthralled.

I just caught up last night. The audience has been wondering for years how Don originally went from retail salesman to ad exec, and now we know. Interesting parallel, when you see it happening again with Jane's cousin who had the "Common breakfast" idea. Although Don was much more sneaky. Heh.
I found myself thinking a lot during the episode about the dynamics between Peggy, Joan, & the rest of the guys. After all this time, after Peggy has proven herself again and again, and even worked on the winning ad, she doesn't even get an invite to the ceremony. They take Joan instead because "there might be new clients there" and, well, she's Joan. On the other hand, Joan is the glue that holds the entire agency together, but her position lacks the infinite possibilities and opportunities of Peggy's. So why not take her? She's almost like a fifth (sixth? I'm never sure about Pete) partner.
I would love to see more conversations between SCDP's two leading ladies, like there used to be.
Posted 05 September 2010 - 06:24 AM
Joan certainly is a partner. Joan and Peter are the junior partners in the firm. If you remember the final show last year, enemies came together because of their indispensability. The hated Pryce came aboard (they had no money that he controlled) because he could fire the heart of the firm and commit professional suicide in exchange for partnership. I believe they called Joan at home after she had resigned and got her on board because she knew where everything was that was needed to do what they did. She became a partner in exchange for theft and fraud that could never be proven if done right.
After all of the above, I'm tempted to think that Joan will be the survivor who will have the power that Roger now has some 10 years hence because she has seen it all, has great instincts, and knows where the bodies are buried. She will make a substantive contribution down the road because of this, but I don't know if the story arc will go that far. I'd love to see it though. Early '70's is when I really came to analyse advertising.

Heh, and because no one knows how to tie his shoes without her. They're like Tony Stark x 5.
She became a partner in exchange for theft and fraud that could never be proven if done right.
Joan has a conflict that Peggy doesn't have, which is a deep desire for a family. She even threw away all of her power once for Greg. And yet part of the reason she came back is that she knows she thrives on it. She'll be much better off than Roger, who is quickly becoming less and less useful.
Posted 06 September 2010 - 09:55 PM
I've been ambivalent about this show since the very first episode, but when episodes focus on Peggy or Peggy/Don, it can be so, so good. Last night's was one of the all-time greats.

Mad Men seems to work best in these minimalist sets. But it becomes a bit too Dallas for me in all the narrative effort it takes to get to these spots.

|New York Times Article on Burlington VT
The New York Times Travel section has a feature called "36 hours in ___." A few days ago the Time published such an article about Burlington VT.
It's pretty well done and covers the upper downtown area around Church Street for the most part. This street is closed off from car traffic and paved with bricks to make it an inviting pedestrian plaza. We often recommend it to guests who want to visit Burlington. There are a good number of specialty shops, restaurants, and bars which makes it a lively daytime and night gathering place.
One area the Time's article does not feature is the great waterfront including the Burlington Boat House. The article does mention Burlington's "Stonehendge" park and the accompanying slide show also mentions the ECHO Museum at the waterfront so readers can find the rest of the waterfront on their own. Of course, it is not as inviting this time of year as it is during months of milder temperatures.
This article is a reprise of similar "36 hours" article the Times did about six years ago.
There is much more to see and do in Burlington and the surrounding area but if you really do have just a few hours, this guide is a good overview of some main highlights.

"Derby, Baby!" was created by Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Robin Bond and Dave Wruck. The film looks at the drama, friendships and addictive nature of the women's flat-track roller derby, including bout footage of international champions, a Derby Girls news release said.
Along with bouts against other teams, the Fort Wayne Derby Girls — a nonprofit and volunteer-operated organization — have raised more than $110,000 for local women's and children's charities since October 2005, the news release said.

Cats and cocoa at Black Pine
Black Pine Animal Sanctuary will host its sixth annual Cats 'n' Cocoa event 1-4 p.m. Feb. 9 at the sanctuary, 1426 W. Road 300N near Albion.

Visitors can warm up at the bonfire and in the climate-controlled reptile house, but most events will take place outdoors, so winter clothing and footwear is recommended.

Go find yourseld a used buzz box off of Craigslist in whatever brand suits your fancy. Those old transformer machines are well nigh indestructable, so if they work when you go to look at them before buying they can usually be depended upon to work for your grandkids. Try for a AC/DC version, but they will go for around twice as much as a AC only version. Note that you will probably have to run a circuit for the welder as they are somewhat power hungry to operate.Miller 251...sold the spoolgun to DiverBill.

Toto Wolff is adamant Mercedes have lost none of their confidence in Lewis Hamilton despite the Brit feeling that way...
Toto Wolff is adamant Mercedes have lost none of their confidence in Lewis Hamilton despite the Brit feeling that way.
Mercedes run of pole positions came to an end in Montreal last Saturday when Hamilton could only manage P2, 0.087s slower than Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel.
The 28-year-old was also unable to match the German in Sunday's grand prix and fell to third as he was overtaken by Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
Clearly not happy with his results, he stated that he was "massively determined to regain everyone's confidence in me."
However, Wolff, Mercedes motorsport boss, insists that's not the case.
"I don't have that feeling we lack confidence in him," he told BBC Sport "I think we will see great races from Lewis. I've no doubt about that."
Hamilton's Canadian disappointment, during which he complained about not feeling comfortable in the W04, came on the back of team-mate Nico Rosberg's dominant display in Monaco where the German claimed pole position and the race victory, the team's first of the season.
"Maybe he has been surprised with Nico's pace," Wolff added.
"Now he has proven he is really quick and this came as a surprise for Lewis, but I don't think it's a real problem.
"We saw he was very strong in Canada where he was on course for pole before he missed his braking in the last sector, which was really wet."
The Austrian also denied that Hamilton's new-found freedom, which the Brit has hailed since joining Mercedes, was costing him.
"For sure, it's different here to McLaren. We're trying to give him freedom, but I don't think it's the reason why he hasn't performed up to his expectations, although he has performed up to ours.
"Nico obviously had a great run. He showed he is a top guy and a top driver, and it's been the best situation for our team.
"But I don't think there is any specific reason at this stage to say he has a problem or is struggling severely.
"It is also still early in the season for him and he is just beginning with the team, whereas Nico has been here for a couple of years."

The F-35 Integrated Test Force has progressed towards further operational capability as military members performed maintenance duties while wearing protective uniforms designed to preserve the warfighter and allow the sustainment of operations in the event of a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear attack.
Testing gathered data on practicality for maintainers to perform routine maintenance tasks while wearing the CBRN suit, boots and mask. Maintenance personnel donned various configurations of Mission Oriented Protective Posture suits that ranged from gloves and CBRN resistant over-garments to gas masks, flak vests and helmets.
"As a team we were very happy with the maintainability of the F-35 while wearing the chemical gear. We really didn't run into any restrictions. The team had a great attitude toward this testing and was very motivated to get through it. We realized the importance of proving the ability to perform this type of maintenance for the eventual war fighter," said Tech. Sgt. Shawn Whittemore, Test Team leader, 412th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron.
The test team consisted of 14 military, contractor and civilian members.
"This testing was the basis to prove the F-35 weapon system is effectively and efficiently supportable in a combat environment. There will be subsequent testing to include weapons loading activities as well as repairs to the aircraft's low-observable characteristics." said Mary Parker, the ITF Logistics deputy director.
