Peter Max collection Corvette to star in this week's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

Jerry Seinfeld knows a thing or two about making people laugh. His latest series, the web-only Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, has developed a huge following, and with good reason: It's funny stuff. This week's installment (teaser here) goes live at noon today and features Jimmy Fallon as a guest star; more importantly, it also features the Cascade Green 1956 Corvette from the Peter Max collection, made roadworthy by Dave Weber and Vintage Automotive Restoration.
More precisely we should say, "nearly roadworthy," since there's a bit of a backstory to this week's episode. As Corvette collector and Dream Cars Consulting owner Chris Mazzilli related to us, the shoot (which he arranged as a friend of Jerry Seinfeld) didn't exactly go as planned, and breakdowns figure heavily in the story. The week before the shoot, Dave found a crack in the Corvette's engine block, necessitating a hasty replacement of the car's small-block V-8. Knowing that the car's wiring harness was living on borrowed time, Dave kept his fingers crossed that the car would continue to run long enough for the filming to take place, even after the engine swap.
The car post clean-up. Photo by Chris Mazzilli.
In the days leading up to the shoot, it did. On the morning that the car was to be picked up at Dave's shop in Hicksville, Long Island, it didn't. No matter what Dave and his mechanic tried, it either didn't work, or it didn't work for long. Chris recalls the day as a blur of trips to the auto parts store, interspersed with calls to producers saying that the car's trip to the Hamptons would be delayed.
By mid-day, Chris began to think about other alternatives. Finding another first-generation Corvette wouldn't be a challenge, but finding one in the distinctive shade of aqua known as Cascade Green was impossible. It wasn't really a Corvette that the producers wanted; it was a Cascade Green Corvette.
As night fell, it seemed as if the production would go on without the Peter Max-collection Corvette. Then, around 8:00, the car fired up and ran well enough for Dave's crew to load it on a flatbed and truck it to the Hamptons for filming. Chris and Dave spent the next day trailing Jerry and Jimmy and attending to the not-infrequent breakdowns, which the stars took in good humor. Ultimately, however, the Corvette (which Fallon says, "doesn't even look like a real car," likely referring to its bright livery) managed to make it through filming and into a bit of comedy history.
Will it make for entertaining video? We'll know for sure after the video drops at noon. Visit ComediansInCarsGettingCoffee.com to view the episode.
UPDATE (18.December): Go here to watch the episode, now live.
How Jerry Seinfeld chose a 1967 Volvo 1800S for "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee"
Images courtesy John Holtzapple and Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.
Readers of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car are familiar with John Holtzapple, president of the Volvo Club of America and the longtime caretaker of a beautiful 1967 1800S. John had let slip, last fall, that something special was happening with his car, but it wasn't until last week that we saw it for ourselves: It was the ride of Jerry Seinfeld and Tina Fey in the weekly web series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.
We asked Lancaster, Pennsylvania, resident John to tell us how this came to be, and he kindly shared the story:
Jerry's production company in New York wrote an email to the Volvo clubs asking if an owner of a 1967 1800 would be interested in making their car available for a video cast. I responded for VCOA, asking which color and features and what dates it would be needed, saying that we had many members who might consider offering theirs. I mentioned Irv's car, and that I had a red '67.
They wrote back asking for photos of mine, then wrote again a day later saying that Jerry wanted to see more photos of the interior. After that, they said he was interested in my car, and asked if it would be available 'so and so' days for filming. After some back 'n forth emails and phone calls, we worked out a 'rental' agreement and finalized the transportation, by them, for the car to – and back – from New York City. They took it on a Sunday afternoon, for filming on Monday and Tuesday, with overnight storage at the Classic Car Club of Manhattan facility. Filming went great on Monday, but Tina became unavailable to finish the shoot on Tuesday. They returned the car on Tuesday night as promised, and picked it back up again the next week for one more day of filming. Everything went off without a hitch, it was returned no worse for wear.
John put in a request with the production company that these celebrity occupants autograph the door jambs on the respective sides of the car for posterity; Jerry kindly complied.
We at Hemmings were delighted to see Jerry mention Irv Gordon's three million-mile 1966 1800S while showing the cover of the December 2013 issue of Hemmings Motor News. Thanks, Jerry! And congratulations, John!

Ramblings from another nerd on the grid
Gadget Links
Virtual Stuff
Windows Sites
Other Diversions
As you'll recall, a few months ago I posted instructions on how to use the Verizon PC5740 pcmcia EVDO modem. At that time, there was an incompatibility with the VZAccess software and Windows Vista.
I'm happy to report VZAccess v5.8.2 for my PC5740 works very nicely with Windows Vista RC1. If you need to download VZAccess, see http://www.vzam.net. Keep in mind there are different versions of VZAccess associated with different cards or chipsets.
I read awhile back that Verizon was bumping EVDO up in bandwidth. You getting any better thruput?
I average 700k I think. Half the cities I go to are at EDGE speeds but they are tier 3 cities.
Regarding speed increases, you'd have to check either with Verizonwireless, or snoop around on howardforums.com.
I have a Verizon event coming up and they are going to give me the road map, but it will contain NDA stuff. Not bloggable. Sorry.

DS 6.9 SP6 - WinPE 4.0 error
No matter how i've tried to install WinPE 4.0 as a pre-boot operating system it continually fails with 'Missing Operating System Files'. I've tried using the adksetup.exe and i've also tried using the option for the pre-installed ADK and both give the same error. Previously with 2.1, Altiris had their own exe's to install this. Using the Windows adksetup seems to be buggy. Anyone have a solution?
Comments 24 Comments • Jump to latest comment
G. Gavin Sanish
What about if you don't install the ADK and let the Boot Disk Creator do the installation? Following the steps in this guide worked for me:
However, it was failing when I tried to install the ADK to the D: drive on my server. Once I let it use the default installation path then everything worked.
That was the article I followed...other than letting it download to the 'Downloads' folder. I tried running it from the C driver, from a UNC path, from the eXpress share...didn't make a difference. I would find it strange if moving the location to the downloads folder worked, but at this point i'll try anything.
---> i'm no stranger to slack, but i'm not a slacker
I'm having the exact same issue.. I've installed the Win 8 ADK to the default location on my Server 08 R2 box.
I select "Pre Installed ADK" it goes through and copies all the files then throws the same error message back on both x86 and x64 options.
Any chance of the pre-boot exe's that were availble for Winpe2?
Hi Folks,
I got mine working. I needed to install the Windows Management Framework 3.0.
After I installed it everything ran through fine.
Grab it here:
OK, just to follow up, I tried using the downloads folder...which actually gave me hope as for some strange reason there were 2 adksetup files - one being where the linked document/instructions said it would be. Unfortunately, I get the same result. It gets to the point of extracting files, hits the 'msxml6r.dll' file at 20% then I get the same 'Missing Operating System Files' message.
---> i'm no stranger to slack, but i'm not a slacker
Another follow up - I found a post on the Altirigos site that references this as well and says that you have to install the Windows Management Framework 3.0 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=34595). I'll be giving that a try as well.
---> i'm no stranger to slack, but i'm not a slacker
That's definitely an oversight in the documentation. This page needs to be updated with the info we've found: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH212843
---> i'm no stranger to slack, but i'm not a slacker
I seem to have this same problem, but installing the WMF 3.0 and restarting did not fix the issue. Are there any things that people have found to fix this besides WMF 3.0?
Edit: It appears as if the DS Bootwiz ADK installer will only launch the 32-bit WIM filter installer, which fails on my 64-bit server...
Edit2: This appears especially likely as the WimMountInstall file in eXpress\WAIK in both the x86 and AMD64 folders is the 34kb x86 edition. I replaced the x86 install file on the ADK folder with the 35kb AMD64 edition and the WimMountInstall file magically became 35kb instead... so that's where it's coming from. But DS 6.9 SP6 keeps bringing in the wrong other support files, so it won't build for me.
One more note on this. If I try to install the WinPE through the DS installation, it fails. If I skip the WinPE installation and point Bootwiz at the installed location after it's done, it works.
I have tried both with the default location and with my preferred second drive. Both ways, it works fine post-install. Just remember to name your WinPE installation WinPE Managed and it will take slot 131 and look as if it had been done by the server automatically.
Just thought I should mention this since there are likely others who have experienced something similar.
I do not find again now where, but I remember I was reading the ADK 8 must be installed on a x86 computer, to build winPE x86 AND x64.
If installing on x64 server, only possible to generate WinPE x64 !?!
Is this correct ?
~Pascal @ Kotte.net~ Do you speak French? Et utilisez Altiris: venez nous rejoindre sur le GUASF
OK great news. ;)
~Pascal @ Kotte.net~ Do you speak French? Et utilisez Altiris: venez nous rejoindre sur le GUASF
I tried all of this, and finally I got it to work, here is what I did for anyone still having glitches.
1. If you have installed the ADK already, completly uninstall it and delete all the files associated with it, including the file you downloaded to install it
2. Install all Windows Updates and patches
3. Install WMF 3.0 if it not already installed, Click here to grab it.
4. Install WMF 4.0, Click here to grab it
5. Install .Net Framework 4.5, you need it for WMF 4.0
6. Check for any Windows Updates again and Install them
7. Reboot
8. Run the ADK installer, but have it make an offline installer to use later, DONT INSTALL YET!
9. Open Altiris and go to the Boot Disk Creator
10. Select Install Pre-boot OS Files, and Pick WinPE 4.0 x86
11. Navigate to the Offline installer you made earlier
12. Click Next, and the ADK installer should appear, run through the installer and accept the defaults
13. Now let Altiris Import everything
14. WinPE 4.0 is now available for Altiris!
Note: After you ran the ADK via the Add Preboot, installing WinPE 4.0 x64 is easy, ALtiris automatically inputs the path to the ADK install for you!
Hope this helps out anyone else who had that stubborn system that didn't want to cooperate like me.
Make sure that the service account that Altiris is running under has rights to the "Manage auditing and security log" USER RIGHTS ASSIGNMENT. The Boot Disk Creator will not be able to mount the the WIM files otherwise. This can be verified by turning on logging for the Boot Disk Creator. Here is a link on how to turn on logging for Boot Disk Creator: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO4568.
Hope this helps someone else.

"News" use - wherever, has been judged to be protected from the Copyright Law, as a matter of "Freedom of the Press - under the Constitution of the United States. Elsewhere --- I do not know.Originally Posted by jstraw
Simply because it is done "In a Public Place" does not exempt a Model - or anyone - from a reasonable share of the proceeds derived from their participation in the activity.
An example ... Heidi Klum models clothes for Dior, on a public beach in Miami. The images are published in Cosmo.
Not "news", and you bet your life she and many others will share in the projected proceeds from the shoot.
Heidi Klum trips and falls into a hot dog stand on the same public beach in Miami... and the image is published in the Enquirer.
"News" - and she probably will NOT be paid for the image.

Two sacred varieties of Tulsi: Krishna and Vana, are blended with anti-stress healing herbs including Brahmi, Ashwagandha and Shankpushpi, which also provide restorative energy needed for healthy sleep. These herbs are blended with Chamomile, Cardamom and Peppermint to create a delicious herbal infusion that promotes a calm, restful sleep.
5 Ways to Ensure Restorative Sleep
For best results, pour 8 oz. of freshly boiled water over tea bag in a cup, cover and steep for 10 minutes.
To soothe restlesness and facilitate nightime relaxation, savor and enjoy before going to bed.
Posted by Carol on 1st Jun 2015
A friend recommended this and send me a tea bag to try before bed, knowing that I already am a huge tulsi tea fan and already adore the rose tea, ginger tea, cinnamon rose, licorice spice and vanilla boxed tulsi teas. I was surprised how soothing this was at bedtime and I truly sleep better when I drink it before bed. Thank you for creating a healthy way to help a tired parent get better quality of sleep!
Posted by Unknown on 20th Mar 2015
I have used sleepytime tea, chamomile and other night teas. I LOVE this tea and how it tastes. usually make a cup an hour before bed. The herbs are so beneficial for you.
Posted by Unknown on 25th Feb 2015
This tea has a nice flavor and a great night time tea.
Posted by jill on 15th Sep 2013
I love this Tulsi tea, it has actually helped me sleep better! I have issues with getting to sleep and staying asleep, so this is a miracle! I feel rested, relaxed, and have even noticed less bloating! Sleep is so good for you, I almost forgot what a good nights sleep could do until I started drinking this. A good price and well worth the buy.
Posted by Unknown on 29th May 2013
I love that this is such a healthy tea, that I feel so good. Also known as holy basil, it is great tasting and the benefits are great. This is a good site to buy holy basil tea, good flavors and this sleep tea works!

No mod points. I concur completely.
How about a Raspberry Pi?
- a Pi. (http://www.raspberrypi.org/)
- Plastic Pi case (https://www.modmypi.com/shop/)
- 32gb SD card
- HDMI touchscreen (http://www.chinavasion.com/china/wholesale/Home_Audio_Video/LCD_Monitors_TV/8_Inch_LCD_Touchscreen_Monitor_AV_VGA_HDMI_Car_Kit)
Install Xbian, a XMBC media player based Linux os (http://xbian.org/) and you've got everything you need.
Cheap too!
I got mine yesterday (after my co-workers tricked me into thinking I'd not get it)..
It's slow like the Engadget guy said.. not up to HD media playback in a fast manner, though that should change once the software's optimised.
However, it's crazy low power, size and features mean I can make my own mini-nas/access point/controller for my caravan which runs on solar.
So many different ways to apply the Pi, as long as your aren't expecting it to be a fast desktop PC!
Anti-XSS protection exceptions however, are not a one-click solution. So hence it being a deal breaker.
You're confusing running Noscript, and it's per-site blocking - with XSS blocking which applies to all sites, not just one.
Might want to read up on NoScript, babes!
Neat, but that site wont work with NoScript installed unless you allow XSS.
Not a huge problem for some, but is a deal breaker for me.
unless there's a workaround?
The screen shot has an R5 pirate copy of Toy Story featured in it.
Guess they forgot to rename the file before taking a shot. Noice.
Portal was free earlier this year, as a build up to Portal 2.
If the accounts were all Steam accounts were activated then, and the game added - it would cost nothing.
They are amazing. My firm uses lots of them.
Dont buy the IPPBX 2820 - they're unreliable.
The 2820V/n models are solid as a rock, and have a ton of usable features
The comments on that page are amusing.
Check out the Amiga conspiracy nut going off on one. Excellent!
Computer Science is merely the post-Turing decline in formal systems theory.

here's my take on this mask:
1 table spoon of turmeric
1 1/2 table spoon of plain yogurt
1/2 table spoon of honey
mix it into a paste and apply to face, neck, arms and belly.
wait 40 minutes during which I occasionally spray some Avene Eau Thermale to keep the drying powder fall off. thenh was it off with lukewarm water but no soap. it takes a few minutes to get the stuff off my skin.
super soft skin
helps with hair removal
dries acne
brightens skin
tightens pores
stains (but I find jojoba oil over night works with getting the yellow out)
smell can be a bit overpowering (if you have a sensitive nose like I do)
overall: WORTH ALL THE HASSLE!

Curcumin has a number of medicinal properties: anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor. Medicinal properties of turmeric have been known since the second millennium BC. Turmeric used in ancient India for the treatment of a wide range of diseases. So I decided to try this drug against pain in the back, which did not allow to sleep. Miracle! For 2 months of taken, the pain began to leave!

I have used a variation of this mask for years. It works so well, is super easy to mix up & costs almost nothing compared to the store bought masks i'd use. My favorites are:
Tumeric, besan & yohurt mix for brightening.
Turmeric, honey & yoghurt mix for hydration.
Turmeric, honey, yoghurt & a drop of ACV for brughtening, hydrating & toning.
Love it!

I have made a mask out of turmeric (1tsp), gram flour (1tsp), jojoba oil (1 tsp), lemon juice (1tbs), and milk (as needed). You can play with the liquid ingredients until you achieve a relatively thin consistency, which will improve ease of application and help in the removal process.
So, I have used this mask a couple times and I am impressed at the brightening properties! I am going to start making this mask apart of my beauty routine and apply it 1-2 times a week. The more you use it the quicker you will see results.
If your skin is stained yellow after washing the tumeric mask you have a few options. You can either use an exfoliating cleanser, but if you do not have that on hand you can use table sugar and water to scrub your face free of any yellow residue.
I am looking forward to the future payoff of this mask. Highly recommend!

I've found that turmeric mixed with lemon juice works best for my undereye circles. A few applications of this over a week, and my under eye area looked bright. Never saw such an immediate effect with store bought creams. It is very messy, and stains your towel when you're wiping it off, which is why I like to limit it to just an under eye treatment tried it a few times on my dark spots on my face, and I didn't see much of an effect, but I might just need to give it more time. As for acne, I didn't like this too much. I found that my honey and milk masks worked much better and were less messy.

Let me first state I don't buy store bought products anymore, I just feel natural products work better and are more cost effective. The reason I STOPPED buying store bought products is I've spent HUNDREDS of dollars trying to minimize my under eye circles. I've had them since I was young and the older i get they become progressively worse. I have just come to accept I will always have to wear makeup under my eyes (2 layers) and hide form my boyfriend in the morning. I saw reviews and videos on it (even the ones here) and said let me give it a try, only a few people talk about dark circles. The ones who did said it worked but it was a lot of sifting to get past the acne and acne blemish posts.
So I purchased the turmeric and I decided to use it on overload to see the results. I can afford to do it more than some because of my darker skin. I still saw a yellowish tint and I had to use a cotton ball and oil to clean off twice to get the yellow tint to leave AFTER I had already washed off the product. Let me just tell you that I'm in SHOCK! I don't leave reviews anywhere. Like literally anywhere. I used it 2x per day for 2 days and left it on for about an hour each time, just to see if it did anything and this is the best my dark circles have looked in years! I still really can't believe it. I went out today for the first time in years without make up. They are not gone YET (I say yet with confidence) but they are better and that made me feel great. At first I questioned myself and said no way I want them to go away so I'm convincing myself but by the 4th 1 hour application, I couldn't deny what was happening. It's actually clearing them away. I didn't sleep yesterday and they were still better than the past. It may take long if you are not on overload so I did 2x for an hour each for 1 hour each.....if you are doing it 20 mins 2/week it would take 12 applications or 6 weeks for you notice what I do. Please don't give up and think it doesn't work. I have a short attention span so I knew if I didn't overdo it at first I wouldn't stick with it. If you are fairer skinned and want quick results....If you have the time to do quite a few wipe downs to clean it off go for it. I'm happier with these results than I've ever been with any product I've used for my eyes. Best overdose I've ever done ;-)

I honestly can't believe this doesn't have more reviews due to all the hype about Turmeric lately! This amazing natural spice, in conjunction with ACV, is solely responsible for clearing up my skin. I already wrote a post about ACV (which is liquid gold)...well this shit is powdered gold! I literally have not had this clear of skin since...um, ever?
I use a brand name turmeric from the regular grocery store, it's super cheap. I've been using a variety of masks with this stuff for a little over a week, and have already seen dramatic results.
The masks I have tried are:
- Turmeric + honey (good, but messy - use in the bath!)
- Turmeric + milk + rice powder (really hard to get off, it cakes on the skin, prob my least fave mix)
- Turmeric + Aztec Healing Clay + ACV (my favorite so far)
I have yet to try it with plain yogurt, but I plan to and I will update my review :)
Within the first few applications I could see my skin getting brighter with more of the "glow" that people talk about. Within the next few times my scars are visibly reduced (still there, nonetheless, but much lighter than before). My skin is always super soft after washing the mask off and breakouts are minimized. YES - it does stain. And yes, you will look like you have frolicked in a mustard field or have baby diarrhea on your face (sorry, but it's true.) But honestly with how well it works, it isn't even really an issue for me, you just have to be extra careful! It will stain the sink, clothes, but your face will only be temporarily stained I promise :) I apply it at night, and after my morning shower there are no traces of oompa loompa skin! Yay!
Anyways, give it a try, I have found my new holy grail skin care item and I highly recommend it!

I really wish I could share in all of these great reviews, except I've been crying about my face for the last 24 hours. I had used the turmeric mask with honey for just over 3 days. I didn't notice a difference, but I didn't notice any problems, either. Except yesterday morning I woke up, and I kid you not, I have hundreds of tiny layered bumps everywhere I laid the mask. Forehead, cheeks, upper lip and chin. My skin looks as though I have a landscape growing out of it. Considering my skin was relatively clear before this mask, and I have made no changes in diet or skin routine except turmeric, I know its this. I did try this on my arm before use and had no allergic reaction, but apparently turmeric can cause a delayed skin reaction when left on as a mask. It has been a day and my skin still looks disgustingly bumpy. I love natural remedies, and if all of these people had good results, then I don't want to discourage anyone. I just want people to know this can have adverse effects, and to work with caution when trying this. If you know you are sensitive to certain foods or spices, avoid this altogether, or else you may end up with dermatitis like me, and it is awful.
Update: It's been a week and the bumps have finally gone down thanks to some cortisone given by my doctor. There are still red spots you can see without my makeup, however. My doctor said that if you are acne prone or sensitive to avoid spices on the face in general, regardless of other people's reactions being positive. Wish I had asked her before trying this.

I really wanted to love turmeric for a face mask, but I don't. I used it consistently, and tried different ingredients to mix it with.
I have used it with rice flour, chickpea flour, and no flour. I tried it with yoghurt, honey, lemon, and even with just plain water. (I tried all those combined, as well as combining only certain things and so on). It made my skin feel very smooth, but did not help with the breakouts.
I may try it again sometime, since I haven't in a long time and am looking for something to lighten my acne scars.
I am going to start taking it internally. I will start to mix a teaspoon or two with a glass of milk before bed, and I'll update my with my results. Even if it doesn't help with my acne, I will most likely continue taking it internally for its other benefits.

@blueplanetlover: You are obviously thoughtful, and I appreciate you reading my article. However, I believe that in your passion to explain your point, you made some assumptions that were simply incorrect.
- You make an interesting point about carbon, and it is one that in my 10 years as a sustainability strategy consultant, I've researched extensively. When considering carbon, we must talk full life cycle. Taking wood from the bottom of a lake is incredibly disruptive to the lake bed habitat. The Great Lakes also harbor a significant amount of pollution in their lake beds, which is re-introduced to fish and swimmers when the lake bed is disturbed. Additionally, the fossil fuels required to run the tree dredging operation alone (forget the drying kilns and cutting machinery) far outweigh the hand tools we use to disassemble disused boats.
At your suggestion, if my Brooklyn based company bought submerged wood from the Great Lakes, we would need it delivered to Brooklyn. A truck would use about 54 gallons of fuel at 15mpg (808 mile round trip) to delivery perhaps two full logs to my shop (enough for about 50 pieces of furniture). By comparison, the Emma Mearsk container ship would use about 400,000 gallons of fuel to bring 11,000 containers of product from Indonesia to New York, which breaks down to only 36.4 gallons of fuel per 40' container full of over 250 pieces of furniture. With this in mind, I challenge your assumption that "local" is unquestionably better.
Finally, our workshop in Indonesia uses no air conditioning, no heating and almost no lighting, and is nestled into a treed landscape. Natural ventilation takes place due to open louvers near the roof space, creating a temperate climate zone in a tropical environment. Regarding lighting, the day starts after the sun rises and ends before the sun sets. It is an impressively sustainable operation by design.
- Regarding your point on local production, I feel lucky to be able to say that Aellon is now a global company. I sell to customers around the world. So, even if my products were local to your house, they would not be local to a customer in Argentina or Spain.
- I'm glad to hear you know about violin design. I play both the violin and mandolin and appreciate their craftsmanship as much as you, I'm sure. However, it is awfully difficult to have a dinner party on a violin. I also play guitar. And while they are just as beautiful (and slightly bigger, so easier to eat off of), they are also part of the reason why Brazilian Rosewood is nearly extinct.
- Your statement about "the locals appreciating the firewood just as much" is unnecessarily snarky. My business partner and Australian friend spent a long time speaking with the ship's captain and the village chief before we made the decision to purchase the boat. You should be more careful about falling into the unhelpful role of "eco-snob" when making comments. Please ask before assuming.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that if one's underlying intention is to do good in the world, that the net effect is positive across the board. If more people would take that initiative in business and life (and when writing messages on articles), the world may be a much more thoughtful, happy place.
Best wishes,

Beautiful, colourful and luminous mandalas by contemporary mandala artist.
Mandalas are universal images which can be found all over the world and beyond.They exist in the West, notably in the rose windows of cathedrals, and other forms of sacred art. They have been explored and developed to an exceptional degree in the East, especially in the Tibetan and Indian cultures and they are widely used in American Indian rituals. Mandalas are found everywhere in human culture especially where awareness of unity is understood and celebrated. They occur abundantly in nature from the infinitely small as in atomic structures to the infinitely large as in galaxies. They are widely used for meditation and healing.
I am currently offering some of my work including originals, cards, prints and window transparencies on ebay at reduced prices.

why you have used flash here? i think there is enough light to capture without flash. if you have done this mistake then you could have corrected it by turning off your flash. for this kind of shot i think ISO 200 is enough but if you select any high figure than that to give a faster shutter speed then you should not use above 400 ISO to reduce digital noise.
if you are experimenting the use of flash then i think you could have used a soft light by an external flash from a different angle to reduce the effect of reflection.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Are you sure that is your flashgun causing the hotspot. There appears to be a hotspot over to the left as well. It looks like it could be the stage lighting reflecting on the background and board. Would have been interesting to see if the effect was still there in a shot where you did not fire your flash.

PWC HAS BEEN drafted in by RBS's board to investigate the meltdown of the bank's computer systems this summer, which caused customers to be unable to withdraw money and accounts to freeze.
Sky News reports that law firm Clifford Chance has been conducting a probe into the fiasco, with initial results showing that both the bank and the software supplier were at fault.
Further reading
Financial Services Authority chairman Lord Turner wrote a letter to Treasury Select Committee chairman Andrew Tyrie explaining that the watchdog had informed RBS it needed a separate review.
"We will require a separate full review to be undertaken by an independent skilled person to establish what went wrong and why, and to provide an assessment of the consequences and the subsequent management of the IT failure. This will include understanding why it took longer to resolve the Ulster Bank position. On receipt of the independent review, we will consider whether further regulatory action is required," the letter said.
It was also reported in the Financial Times that senior managers of all the major banks have been asked to submit a report on contingency plans in the event of an IT collapse to restore service "within an acceptable timeframe".

When you push and push for your work outs and maintain your calories, usually at the low end, and the weight loss stalls...what then? Eat more! One or two days a week, not consecutive, go over the calories for the day.
Cut out all whites from my diet. Example replaced white flour with almond or coconut flour. No white rice , bread. Organic cheese, milk, fruits and meats. No cold cereal only steel cut oats. No can soup,vegetables or fruit. I feel great and have lost 45 pounds in 5 months. I'm never hungry.
got the muchies even if you just ate? chew some surgar free gum, they say it help to stop food cravings for as long as you chew. and this next tip is simple and smart. you can watch t.v and still work on your weight loss goal, thats right. when i watch t.v i do curl ups, push ups, any type of activity even running in place. multitascing will be easy and fun :) good luck!
Learn how to ignore the ups and downs of weight fluctuation. Weigh yourself every day, and use a moving average to compute a trend line. Your weight may fluctuate by 5 or more pounds per day, and your true weight loss will be lost in this fluctuation. A moving trend line makes your loss/gain clear!

SILVERSTONE, 3rd July, 2014 (F1 Plus / Rosie Baillie) - Esteban Gutierrez says that the C33 does not have a strength.
When asked whether he thought the issue was a downforce or powertrain issue, he said the issue was both.
"It's a combination of both [powertrain and downforce], this is the problem we don't have a strength at the moment." Gutierrez said.
"Last year for example in the high speed corners we were pretty good and we knew that that was our strength.
"So when we get to a track that has high speed corners we said 'okay this could be a good opportunity for us'. This year not even the high speed corners, not even the slow speed corners.
"everywhere it's quite weak, so we are doing our best to take risk in a controlled way."
The Mexican went on to say that Sauber were trying different things and taking controlled risks to try and improve the car.
"We are trying different things. We are taking risks at the moment. We are exploring with the car, taking different set up approaches because at the moment we are stuck and we don't want to be stuck at this point." he said.
"It's not that we are doing it just closing the eyes and doing things that are crazy now, it's really trying to find a way."
At the Austrian Grand Prix the Sauber driver was handed a 10 place grid penalty for an unsafe release.
Gutierrez says this will not change how he approaches the weekend and says it wouldn't really affect them that much anyway.
"We go maximum. To be honest, it doesn't make a big difference to us because you know, in the best scenario, in an extraordinary result in qualifying would be maybe P11, so even that would put us in the back of the grid.
"I'm still going to push. We're exploring different things in the setup so, try to get something better."

For Eros?
Some time in the past, without being asked,
I started thinking
And finally I just felt
Words poetic for Eros,
from a poet, aren't worthy.
I don't really know,
If I was or not,
but they called me so.
So I simply felt
that such words would be Worthy,
Only if the poet, even a bad one,
was born from Eros.
Maybe they are wrong
and I was just born now for you.
Maybe I am wrong.
However For Eros
Nothing I had written,
Nothing I had shared
Nothing I had kept.
Till I met You!
Like a present by God,
Your view was revealed to my eyes.
There's nothing ever appeared to me more beautiful!
There's nothing ever appeared to me as cute!
For Eros? by DraganTheMightyWatch
©2013-2015 DraganTheMighty
And now this may be the most wonderfully romantic poem I've ever read.
wow. I'm glad that i have read this. It is so beautiful. Btw, are you like... greek?
This is so beautiful
Certainly not bad!
Πιάσε τη στιγμή!
Με τη πρώτη ματιά, έτσι;
I love how you managed to make this sound cute and sincere without being sappy.
Oh, this is just lovely...
Very sweet
It's such a romantic poem.
A lovely poem.

Future Trends
The report's authors say that if the historic rate of increase between 2003 and 2010before enactment of the Affordable Care Actwere to continue, the average premium for family health insurance coverage would increase 72 percent by 2020, reaching nearly $24,000 a year.
Slowing the rate of growth even modestly would make a significant difference for individuals, families, and businesses. Compared to historical trends, reducing the annual growth in premiums by even one percentage point would lead to $2,161 in annual premium cost savings for families by 2020. Slowing the rate of growth by 1.5 percent a year would yield savings of $3,173.
The authors note that the Affordable Care Act includes a range of insurance market reforms aimed at lowering premium growth, improving health benefits, and ensuring near-universal coverage. These include a set of affordable insurance options available through new state insurance exchanges, rules limiting insurance administrative costs and profits as a share of premiums, and review of excessive insurance premium increases. In addition, the law contains payment and health care system reforms that seek to slow the growth in costs. The authors point to the urgent need to spread reforms to private as well as public insurance.
Moving forward, the report authors conclude that lowering health care premium growth will require a significant focus on reforming how health care is paid for in the private sector, as well as in public programs like Medicare and Medicaid. In order to improve quality of care while slowing costs, wasteful overhead spending must be lowered and innovative ways of paying for care tested and spread broadly to maximize their impact.
"The combination of rapidly rising costs and stagnant incomes is putting families in an untenable situation," said Commonwealth Fund President Karen Davis. "New rules for insurers, along with new models of health ca

Anyway, I rarely make popcorn and never trust the popcorn button, so I can't comment. My friend who worked in a movie theater is somehow really good at making popcorn so it doesn't burn, which is great because burned popcorn is a terrible smell that has a tendency to linger (particularly in a dorm room, which is the last time I ate popcorn).

Another important finding is that physical activity does not appear to correlate with modernization, as measured by village distance to town, Spanish fluency, and formal schooling. This pattern contradicts robust findings in other areas of the world, where even short periods of socioeconomic change can radically alter activity patterns and diet, and, therefore, subsequent risk of chronic disease. "And that's not particularly surprising," he said. "Even Tsimane in the most acculturated villages, who speak Spanish and have wage labor jobs, continue to work fields, and they still fish. In addition, most jobs themselves are labor-intensive logging, working as ranch hands, or transporting resources from one place to another. "It's all physically active work," he said. "Modernization hasn't changed that."
However, women do not typically participate in these labor intensive jobs, and so while modernization didn't affect their activity levels, modern Tsimane women were more likely to be overweight. "Tsimane men are more physically active than women at all ages, and less likely to be overweight; and so the few cases of hypertension and other ailments characteristic of cardiovascular disease are observed more among Tsimane women than men a striking contrast with what is commonly observed in the U.S.," Gurven concluded.

Top 10 hotels and resorts in the United States
(Photo courtesy of Waldorf Astoria Chicago)
No doubt there are plenty of nice hotels in the world, but when you go away, you don't just want nice—you want special, you want amazing, you want spectacular.
And those combined votes have boiled down to a list that covers the best places and properties anywhere on earth—including these top 10 right here in the U.S.
1. Waldorf Astoria Chicago
Readers' Choice Rating: 97.9
"From the decor to the service, this is one of the greatest hotels I've stayed in." The top-scoring Gold List property in the United States, this "oasis of luxury" (opened at the end of 2009) is in the Gold Coast neighborhood, steps from the lakefront.
Designed to emulate the grand hotels of Paris in the 1920s, it is set in a 60-story tower that has colonnades, spires, and a motor court. The "fantastic, spacious rooms," 10 per floor, have fireplaces, furnished terraces, Italian linens, and white Carrara marble bathrooms with soaking tubs.
"Staff make you feel welcome, like they're really excited that you chose their hotel." "Epicurean paradises" include the European-style bistro Balsan and Ria, which focuses on sustainable local ingredients. "I'd like to move in—now."
(Photo courtesy of Inn at Palmetto Bluff)
2. Inn at Palmetto Bluff
Bluffton, S.C.
Readers' Choice Rating: 97.2
"This will be the best inn you've ever stayed at," by the May River amid acres of forests and ancient freshwater rice fields. "Superb Southern-style service" comes from staff "who make you feel like you are the first ever guests."
Rustic cottages are "quiet, secluded, immaculate, and spacious," with screened porches, white-wood doorways, vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, wide pine-plank floors, and hipped metal roofs. "You can do everything—golf, fishing, horseback riding, and a spa are some of the activities—or nothing, and be blissfully happy either way." Alas, the food at the River House Restaurant is "only fair."

Written by Judd Legum
Appearing yesterday morning on CBS, anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist said Obama won reelection because he called Romney "a poopy head." Watch:
Setting aside alleged scatological name-calling, the election was an overwhelming rejection of the the political philosophy advocated by Norquist and his allies. 24 Republican Senate incumbents and candidates signed Norquist's anti-tax pledge and lost. Linda McMahon (R-CT), Senator Scott Brown (R-MA), Treasurer Josh Mandel (R-OH), Secretary of State Charles Summers (R-ME), former Gov. Tommy Thompson (R-WI), considered top-tier candidates, were attacked by their Democrats opponents in face-to-face debates for signing Norquist's pledge. They all lost.
55 Republican House incumbents or candidates who signed Norquist's pledge also lost.

Thank you for sharing.
Grover Norquist it being ignored by more and more people in the congresss. His power iw waning
Romney is a tax cheat. Of that, there is no doubt.
Besides, the filthy rich should pay at least as high a tax rate as regular workers. Capital gains should be taxed at the same rate as regular income.
Obama won by demonizing Romney. He and his fellow democrats called him everything from a tax cheat to a killer. Disgraceful and below the dignity of the offices they hold.
There is an article in today's N.Y. times, about Mr. Norquist, on the front page!
It is about a PLEDGE that he has had people in congress taking, for years.
"Signing it means a promise never, ever, to vote for a tax increase," the article states.
Now, I'm not entirely naive, and know that "stuff" goes on in politics, including congress, but this seems OUTRAGEOUS to me.
People in congress take a solemn oath/pledge to uphold the constitution, and I do not think they ought to be asked, or expected, to take any sort of pledge, no less one run by a LOBBYIST, that may someday interfere with their sworn oath, by possibly compromising their ability to legislate, as they may see fit, even if it means they have chosen to change their thinking about something.
Yes, they signed the pledge willingly, though there may well have been unspoken pressure to be "one of the boys," but now some of them are reconsidering, based on the Fiscal Cliff issue, and are getting flack for it.
The Newt, in his typical perpetual wisdom, is calling them to hold to their pledge, for one, of course.
In any case, as I seem unable to write an article about this, probably due to my outmoded system, here, or get a petition going, I wonder whether someone else, surprised, blindsided by this sort of garbage might.
Thank you.
No Mr Norquist (I like poopy head for Rmoney) Obama didn't win the election with Poopy head!
Obama won because HE DIDN'T INSULT WOMEN. Obama won because HE BELIEVES IN AMERICA! Obama won because HE GETS THINGS DONE! Obama won because he is willing to WORK WITH PEOPLE! Obama won because HE RESPECTS THE PEOPLE!
Now, get over it, Obama won!
Perhaps this "poopy-head" Grover Norquist should be called upon to explain where are all the jobs that the "job creators" have created during the time they have received extremely generous tax rates paid for by the middle class!
No, Mr. Norquist, President Obama never called ex-Governor Willard a "poopy head." With our votes, we voters did that.
Grover Norquist is another one who hates paying taxes and wants everything taxes provides and cheap labor and above all ....is happy to have everyone else pick up the tab for the wealthiest in this country as they have been for decades. Cheaper labor means cheaper products and services and they line their pockets because of this and then resent having to provide social benefits when people get old or have a catastrophic event happen to them.
Moreover....how do the wealthy convince some people to vote for these policies that enable the rich to become even more wealthy and cheating everyone else ?
Who is Grover Norquist, what makes him such a power? He looks and acts like the kid that everyone bullied and teased in school, not because he was too smart, but because he is an officious blowhard. Now he is getting even by being the whore, oops, spokesman for the very rich, it is obvious that he does not care about all Americans, only the really rich. Are the Repubs serious in following this guy? He says the GOP will not raise taxes for the 1%, but, as I understand it, the tax relief for all will automatically end, if they do not allow a even small tax raise on the 1%, therefore, if he continues to hold the representatives captive to their pledge to him, he will end up causing a raise to taxes for all. Oh, by the way, tax relieve for the top 1%, does not help the economy.

EcoSystems Nepal has requested MWB's support in providingide affordable renewable energy to villagers that are not connected to grid po
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
The project directly benefits rural poor villagers that are not connected to grid power. With pedal power electricity they are able to be more productive, and children can study longer at night. Furthermore, with EcoSystems power solution, villagers are no longer reliant on dirty burning wood and oil. During the coming monsoon more than 4,000 villagers in Nepal will use one of thirty-one WireBridges built by EcoSystems. They will attend school, get to health posts, porter goods easier.
How will this project solve this problem?
The MBA Volunteer's number one priority is supporting Ecosystems to lower its costs, sourcing local parts so that more villagers can be connected to the grid over the coming years.
Potential Long Term Impact
EcoSystems device has a potential long term impact of relieving the need to burn wood and fossil fuels for lighting and power which will reduce the amount of respiratory disease in Nepal which is currently the number one Killie in the country.
Funding Information
This project has been retired and is no longer accepting donations.
Additional Documentation
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).

The New York Times reported today that Governor Cuomo is proposing to spend $400 million to buy out owners of property to avoid a recurrence of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. I have to say that I have been persuaded over the past few years that we cannot put all our eggs in the mitigation basket, particularly since political gridlock in Washington has prevented much mitigation from occurring.
As a result, adaptation is going to be important and programs at least similar to what Governor Cuomo has proposed are going to be necessary. The hard question, of course, is: who pays? According to the Times, those in areas most subject to flooding would get paid a premium. The harsh way to ask the question is to wonder why we should reward people for choosing to buy property that, even before climate change, was located in areas subject to coastal flooding.
I'm afraid that the answer to this question may be that we have no choice. Our politics requires us to help the victims of natural disasters, even when common sense tells us that we are simply subsidizing bad choices. Our bizarre takings jurisprudence doesn't allow us to solve the problem by regulation. Therefore, voluntary buyouts, which probably require premiums to work, may be unavoidable.
At least New York isn't Virginia, where significant numbers of lawmakers seem to prefer the ostrich approach.
