Peter Hurley
Peter is a New York and Los Angeles based photographer specializing in advertising and commercial work, including portraiture, fashion, beauty, editorial, actor's headshots, events and corporate photography. "Let me give you an idea of the round about way I picked up a camera and found a new love. It and most of my life revolve around the sport of sailing. In 1993 after graduating from Boston University I hadn't a clue as to what I was going to do with myself. That summer I was doing what I had done every summer since I can remember, racing sailboats. In August, I won a National Championship and decided to train for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. While training full time, a friend sent me to see a designer at Ralph Lauren, who was in search of real sailors to model in a Polo Sport advertising campaign. I had an incredible time and months later my picture was seen around the world. More importantly, I met a true friend and eventual mentor, Bruce Weber, who was the photographer on the shoot. Bruce continued to take pictures of me sailing and after failing to make the '96 US Sailing Team, I found myself in New York at the start of a new modeling career. Modeling led me into acting, but the dream of a gold medal still lingered in the back of my mind. After a few years, I dropped everything and decided to jump back in the boat and train for the Sydney '00 Games. It was during this time that Bruce encouraged me to start taking pictures of sailboats. My training paid off landing me a berth on the 2000 US Sailing Team. Shortly afterward, I took up the camera and while shooting a regatta I turned the camera on a fellow model/actor and friend of mine who had come along for the day. Those pictures ended up in his portfolio and created the outset of my new career. Since then my pictures have led me into advertising and my clients now include Levi's, Reebok, DKNY, Johnnie Walker and Axe Deodorant to name a few. I am continually growing as a photographer and I'm so glad that my crazy path has landed me here with a camera in hand. I would like to give a special thanks to Caggie Simonelli, Bruce Weber, and Josette Lata for making this possible." - Peter Hurley

I'm going to just call this anime Madoka because it's title is too long. Just thought I'd clear that up real quick.
Madoka is something I personally can enjoy looking back at my childhood of Cardcaptor Sakura. It is deeply moving and is exploitative of the fact that these girls go out and do what they do, yet never actually think about the fact that they could die. It's a heavy concept that Madoka deals out quite well, it comes together and is impactful to the viewer. The problem's with Madoka lie in the ending that leaves me scratching my head. And while I know that I have commended anime for this before, that I enjoy animes with really odd endings, this one is odd in the fact everything comes together somewhat, but it's such a mish mash and so many things just happen and so many of the final scenes are so forced and unimpactful because of that force, that the anime ends with you half feeling good, half wondering what the hell just happened. Especially the after credits sequence that completely leaves me bamboozled and if anyone can explain that final forty-five seconds or so to me, please do.
Madoka shines in the story department. It's a well thought out system of magic and as the story progresses, it certainly maintains a sad tone that just gets sadder, it also exudes an air of hope. It's also an anime that seems like it will be predictable, but characters are totally different from what you'd think and you are constantly surprised. That's not to say you are always surprised, the story does have some "duh" moments, but overall the story works will for me. It's full of symbolism and I guess there is some inherent message it is trying to get across that I'm too lazy to mull over at the moment because it's approaching one o' clock and I'm sleepy, but it all works well up to the ending that seems to tie everything up at episode eleven. Then episode twelve comes and it's necessary, especially the first half, but after that it becomes a confusing mess. I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't seen it, but I will say that the forced parts where Madoka meets with her friends just don't feel right and don't have the same emotional impact as when Homura spills her guts and cries on Madoka's shoulder at her house. That part was genuinely sad and made a tear come to my eye, but the rest of the "sad" scenes just didn't work for me.
The animation for the show is a mix of traditional and LSD inspired insanity. The traditional side looks good, but isn't anything to write home about. Characters look like loli girls and background all look good. Action is fluid. The LSD inspired action sequences when the girls battle the enemy witches are fantastic and I personally enjoyed the different styles and it was one of the best parts of the show to see what the next witch hunt would bring to the style.
Great voice actors compliment the show and bring emotion to the characters. The opening is good, though I thought it was too upbeat for something like this show. At least Elfen Lied had that terribly gothic and kind of sad opening with the bells and the lady singing in a very creepy yet soothing voice. This one has a J-pop opener that seems to be trying to make things happy. I mean, the lyrics aren't happy, but the song is too upbeat for an anime so seriously depressing. The ending is at least a bit more depressing.
Here is my biggest fault with this anime. The characters are...not the best. Not that they are bad, but most fall under traditional conventions and I couldn't attach myself to any of them besides Homura who I found to be the most fleshed out character of them all and the most likeable. Madoka is a good character, but she is kind of cliched up until the end when you see a very strong figure. The supporting cast is decent but most are just conventional-type characters who are put in a terrible situation.
(SPOILER)As I said in the story section, the relationship between Homura and Madoka is the best in the show. Madoka has her friends and they have decent relationships, but I found Homura and Madoka's friendship to be very, very touching and probably the series best point was when you find out Homura has been fighting to protect Madoka, unbeknownst to Madoka, for so long. And when Homura spills her guts to Madoka inside her house, it's a very emotional scene that does bring a tear to the eye. This relationship is great, and works well with the ending of the series.
Madoka is a good anime. It is well done, and you will feel bad and depressed for these characters while, and even after, watching it. Despite the flaws in the cast (generic characters mostly) Homura still stands out as a great character and it does have one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen in an anime. Despite this, the anime really loses points from it's forced ending. It should have been sad, I should have really felt bad, but instead it's just a bunch of randomness that never congeals into something I can understand clearly. I know what happened in the end (minus the after credits thing), but the ending is just so hard to clearly understand. You'll get the gist of it, but you'll feel like your missing something, a lot of things, both because of the forced nature of the sad moments in the last episode, and the random scenes that just don't add to anything and confuse even more.
This is a good series. It is definately something you should check out if you haven't already, a fantastic new take on the "Magic Girl" genre that is sure to please even those who have never seen a "Magic Girl" anime before. But be warned that while the ending does complete the series, it is also where the series starts to lose it's touch.
Overall, an 9 seems a fair enough score. It's most assuredly going to be one of the best anime of this year.
Great review, I agree with you man. My first impression for this anime was just magical girls with happy atmosphere, defeating a few witches every week lol. But after seeing mami getting killed in episode 4, I understood it's heavy and dark atmosphere. And you know what? Mami was my favourite character and she got out of the picture very quickly xD How unlucky... What irritated me was that madoka girl didn't transform until the last episode and she cried a lot.. I know it's hard for her to see her friends getting killed and face the reality, but she didn't do something until the end. I think I didn't see her in a fight much. She didn't even touch Walpugrus Night, defeated it by just transforming. (Or am I wrong :D?) Btw, it felt like Homura is the main character for me. Her skills are impressive though. That chasing after truck scene....it was epic lol.
Anyways, I enjoyed watching it. Didn't understand what happened in the last scene or what the hell happened to other characters.. But oh well :D. 8/10
It is still naive as heck for an anime that tries to pass as darker and mature. Didn't win me over as Princess Tutu did.

There was a decidedly Florida feel to USC's pro day on Wednesday, as the top three attractions -- Leonard Williams, Nelson Agholor and Buck Allen -- all hail from the Sunshine State.
All 32 NFL teams were scheduled to be in attendance and just about all eyes were on Williams, who announced Tuesday that he would only participate in position drills during his pro day. Williams turned in a 4.97-second 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis and said he was happy with that number.
Tennessee has the No. 2 pick in the draft and could be a player for Williams, so it was fitting that Titans defensive line coach Giff Smith put Williams through drills.
Williams said he wanted to see what working with Smith would be like and how the two communicated. He responded favorably to the 20-minute workout.
"I really liked the defensive line coach," Williams said, adding that his first visit will be to Tennessee on April 3.
Like Williams, neither Agholor nor Allen posted times in the 40-yard dash on Wednesday, but Agholor did participate in several events after a thumb injury at the NFL combine knocked Agholor from many of the day's proceedings. On Wednesday, Agholor posted a 36.5-inch vertical jump, but stuck to the 4.42-second 40-yard dash time he posted at the combine.
Agholor will follow recent former USC wide receiver Robert Woods and Marqise Lee into the draft and sold himself to teams following Wednesday's workout.
"I think I'm a very determined player who prepares well," Agholor said. "I think I do a good job of getting open and I have a good feel for finding the football."
Allen stood pat with all of his NFL combine testing numbers, but put his route running on display for the NFL scouts. Allen, who caught 41 passes in 2014, said teams had expressed a desire to see him catch the ball leading up to the draft.
"It's a blessing to come out here and showcase my talent," Allen said. "I took advantage of pro day and ran some routes that we didn't do at the combine."
Additional notes
Wide receiver George Farmer created some significant buzz when he posted 4.40 and 4.35 electronic 40-yard dash times. Those runs, combined with 19 reps on the bench press, could make him a name to watch as teams debate a prospect who tested well but caught just 30 passes in his college career. Farmer dealt with a number of injuries at USC and stressed his current good health and academic standing -- one class short of a degree -- as the two main reasons for making the decision to forgo his final season. "I didn't get the film I would have liked, but all I need is an opportunity," Farmer said.
Cornerback Josh Shaw also drew attention on Wednesday, as it was the first time he addressed the local media about the bizarre incident that occurred this past August, when Shaw said he hurt his ankles while saving his nephew from drowning in a pool. The story turned out to be fabricated and Shaw was suspended for 10 games of his senior season as the LAPD and USC conducted investigations that never led to charges being filed. That hasn't seemed to scare away NFL teams, though. "The mistake I made was really out of character and most importantly, I've learned from it," Shaw said, adding that his schedule for the next few weeks is completely booked with meetings and workouts, with a private workout for the Houston Texans scheduled for Monday.

In fact, it's just a hair larger than a 7-inch cube. Advertisement How is it so tiny? The SS-839 uses 2.5-inch SATA drives instead of the clunky 3.5s you find in desktops (and most NAS systems).But beyond its compact 4TB capacity, the SS-839 features plenty of performance enhancers, like a low-voltage Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, 2GB of RAM and 2 eSATA ports along with 5 USBs.

|Review by: RP
|The Show Low Golf Club is a great get-away from the summer heat of Phoenix or Tucson. The average summertime high is in the 80's. The two nines are distinctly different, with the front being wide open and inviting the big stick to come out, while most are advised wisely to put their woods away on the tight tree-lined back nine. It is a fun course to play and availablity is usually quite easy.

First LPA to be put into 'special measures' for failing to meet targets on the processing of planning applications - .PDF file.
Blaby District Council has become the first local planning authority (LPA) to be put into 'special measures' for failing to meet targets on the processing of planning applications.
In June 2013, in an attempt to speed up planning applications and prevent delays at a local level, the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) announced its proposals for placing LPAs in this 'special measures' arrangement if they determine 30 per cent or fewer major applications on time, or if more than 20 per cent of major decisions are overturned on appeal.
The measures allow applicants to bypass the LPA by asking the Planning Inspectorate to make determinations instead…

The Williamstown Demons evened up the season series against cross-county rivals Grant County on Jan. 3 with a 76-62 home win.
It was all Demons from the get go.
They controlled the opening tip and immediately went inside to Wenzie Fox for the first score of the game.
On the next possession, Jon Jump hit a 24-foot three pointer from the wing and the Demons were on their way to routing the Braves.
Having Hamidou Diallo decide to start his college basketball career now was no surprise to Marc Allard, sports editor of the Norwich (Conn.) Bulletin.
Diallo, a 6-5 guard, announced Jan. 7 that he would start classes at Kentucky this week. He had graduated from Putnam Science Academy (Conn.) last year and had been playing there as a graduate student this season.
The Grant County Braves played at Bellevue High School and went 3-0 to win the Mike Swauger tournament.
The Braves won 59-48 against Brossart on Dec. 21; 59-46 against John McGregor, Ontario Canada on Dec. 22 and won 92-88 against Newport in the championship game.
The Williamstown Lady Demons won the Christmas at the Capital in Frankfort, Ky, this winter break, after clinching their first two victories to advance to the championship game, where they handily defeated Menifee County 74-56.
Michaela Kennedy averaged 33 points and six rebounds in the three games, setting a new career high at 45 in the semi-final game against Model, where her team won 58-55.
Kennedy also broke the single game three-point record after sinking nine from behind the arc.
Justice Chambers and Haley How both also made a splash in the tournament.
Figurines of Batman, the Incredible Hulk and other comic book characters sit next to books on theology and Christianity in Pastor Terry Leap's office at Williamstown Baptist Church.
Leap, in addition to his calling as a minister, is an avid comic book collector who loves the tales of good vs. evil found in many of America's favorite superhero stories.
Leap was fascinated by stories of heroes with superhuman abilities during his childhood, and began buying, selling and trading comics his senior year of high school.
Yes, I have a reading season, and each year the season gets a little longer as I reject television and radio listening more and more. The current state of our news cycle has helped push me back into books and this year I came across four titles that I particularly liked because they deepened my understanding of food and farming.
"First Bite: How We Learn to Eat"
By the time I left the newsroom I was ready to rip out my hair or stick a hot poker in my ears.
All day the noise and commotion drove me to distraction -- and it had been a fairly quiet day. I was alone in the pod I share with two other reporters and my phone only rang once.
(Editor's Note: The Grant County News publishes all items in police beat that are submitted from each individual police agency. The News does not omit names from police reports.)
Deputy KJ Little charged Michael D. Turner, 36, of Williamstown, with receiving stolen property under $10,000, at 8:45 p.m. Dec. 27 on U.S 25. Turner was lodged at the Grant County Detention Center.

Volkswagen on Diesels: Where is the Love?

(Source: blogspot.com)
VW wants more incentives
Volkswagen AG (VW) wants diesel vehicles to get federal and state incentives similar to those for electric vehicles (EVs). Instead, the automaker feels diesels are "penalized."
"We're not feeling the love," said Anna Schneider, vice president for industry and government relations at VW Group of America. "This is one of the greenest choices... It's time the U.S. government included clean diesel in its 'all of the above' strategy' for greening U.S. roads. Putting these vehicles on the road should be incentivized and not penalized, and that's our goal."
Diesels are about 30 percent more fuel efficient than gasoline vehicles, but the problem is that diesels have a higher carbon content than the gasoline-powered cars. For that reason, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said that diesels only cut carbon emissions by 7 to 20 percent.
Hence, diesels don't get the same treatment as EVs. EVs receive many advantages, such as federal and state tax credits, access to carpool lanes, etc. This is because EVs are seen as key contributors to "greening" the auto industry, and that's especially important right now with the new
54.5 MPG CAFE standards
in place for 2017-2025 model years.
In fact, these new standards don't give diesels additional credits the way it does other vehicles. The EPA said it doesn't believe diesel vehicles push the commercialization of technologies that will help autos reach zero (or even near-zero) emissions. In addition, the EPA doesn't seem to think that diesels have an issue with "consumer acceptance."
Further hurting the cause of diesels is that 15 U.S. states place additional taxes on diesel, and federal taxes for diesels are 6 cents higher than those of gasoline-powered autos.
EVs, on the other hand, are eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit.
VW is a known promoter of diesel vehicles. For instance, the company confirmed
its XL1 hybrid
for production earlier this year. The two-seat Volkswagen XL1 has a plug-in diesel hybrid system that allows it to achieve 314 MPG and 31 miles on electric power alone. The CO2 emissions sits at 21 g/km, and it is considered the most aerodynamic car with a Cd figure of 0.189. It's also very light at just 1,752 pounds.

The only thing that surprises us about Paris Hilton being named America's "Most Unpopular Personality" in America is that people still feel she's relevant enough to put on lists at all.
Yesterday, it was revealed that a survey named Betty White as the nation's Most Trusted Personality. Today, a similar poll revealed that 60% of people react negatively when they think of Paris Hilton. She is the most unpopular personality, with Charlie Sheen coming in a close second.
However, when it comes to actual trustworthiness, Charlie was the least trustworthy — 52% of Americans don't believe a word he says.
Also ranking high on the negative lists were Britney Spears, Mel Gibson, and Tiger Woods.
Yeah… we wouldn't want them babysitting our children, either.

Simple changes/modifications to joomla site (REPOST)
This project received 8 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $152 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project Budget$30 - $250 USD
Total Bids8
Project Description
Dear developers,
After awarding the project to a freelancer who did not communicate well and concluded with restoring an incorrect backup, resulting in having to do this myself from the backup i had made, i am now reposting this project.
Currently we run a joomla site which uses the JomTube componant to manage the site's main content type - videos.
I would like to take on a freelancer to resolve the following;
1. Facebook / Twitter authorisation:
Quite simple, at present, visitors can interact on the site with commenting on videos and blog entries, but are required to sign in or register.
We would like to enable the "login with facebook" and "login with twitter" features, with the respective button-links being shown below the video being viewed, or below the blog entry being viewed.
The ideas is that visitor don't have to endure the typical signup proceedure of joomla in order to be able to interact and can instead simply use their social logins.
The facebook connect plugin is available for joomla, i know this much, twitter, i have seen but have not looked for.
A web address showing an example of these features will be posted to the chosen developer.
1b. In addition to the Facebook and Twitter login features, we would also like visitors to be able to interact on the blog posts and videos by only having to enter their email address (and an optional name) as an alternative to the social methods.
2. Currently, the videos controlled by Jomtube allow visitors to rate them on a 5-star basis, thoug this requires them to login, as with commenting.
We would like to have this changed so that anyone can rate a video without having to login at all - i.e., "public" or unregistered users can instantly click and submit their vote.
If you feel confident and interested in taking on the above tasks, please provide your bid and ideally a PM with any information regarding your existing experience with Joomla and/or Jomtube.
These tasks are not complicated - I just do not have the time at the moment to dive into the code, and would rather someone who is more familliar with joomla/jomtube make the changes with confidence.
The chosen freelancer will be provided with the following;
1. an FTP account with access to the joomla root
2. an admin account at the website (administration area)
3. any additional requirements
3. We would like to ensure that the website is as cross-browser friendly as possible.
4. We would like to ensure that the website optimised for search engines, so URL's are friendly and search engine rankings are better.
Thank you for your time.

bugs related to our Quit feature.
We use to rely on onXreExit() delaying System.exit(). Things may have changed using the window.close() approach, but not sure. We should verify that setting a preference, then quiting, results in the preference being saved.
We could wait for Gecko to quit ("quit-application") and send a "Gecko:Quit" to Java, and then System.exit(0)
You can't set the homepage right now, it fails with
E/GeckoPreferences( 717): invalid preference given to setPreference()
about:home is hardcoded. That's bug 696950.
It's a pity because about:home is completely broken. Bug 701380 will reimplement it in Java.
If you were seeing the last used page, that was the screenshot, which has been disabled a few days ago.
So I'd dupe this to bug 696950, but comment 2 mentions another bug.
Changing the summary accordingly.
Should be fixed now that "Quit" is fixed
Samsung Galaxy SII (Android 2.3.4)
So, the home page preference is still not being saved between quits...tested with 12/06 build.
That's bug 696950 - about:home is hardcoded.
Ask :bnicholson to unbitrot his patch...

Life > Thanksgiving
Life > Thanksgiving
The least festive location for a Thanksgiving dinner.
Nov 28, 2012 @ 12:01pm
Pass the cranb-- Oops, someone's having sex with it.
We'd laugh at this photo if we didn't envy her for having a Thanksgiving that guaranteed she'd be nowhere near family members. Instead of being asked when she's getting married, she got to hear delightful conversation about the aliens who control our banks. Instead of watching her little nephews punch each other in the living room until they were sobbing, she got to be entertained by breakdancers doing battle with a way-too-loud Mariachi band. If she forgot dessert she could just buy a box of expired M&Ms from the 24-year-old "high school students" selling candy for their "team." And best of all, she knew that the pervasive urine smell had absolutely nothing to do with her grandma.

Publicity stunt or not, I don't mind.
It is good to see serious companies willing to loosen up from time to time,
I agree. Stop by the Noble threads sometime and you'll see they stay loose most of the time (I have no affiliation with Noble, I just participate in one or two of their threads)

Errr, I never said there was anything wrong with sponsorship.
I simply remarked that this thread appeared, to me, to be very clearly a sponsored publicity stunt, rather than a casual head-fier just posting a personal joke.
That's OK - I'm just saying I perceived it as being obviously choreographed, and I'm surprised that it did not appear so obvious to other head-fiers.
Actually, it was the other way around. A bunch of us wanted to do something for the day, and we came up with that. We then went to A&K and got their permission to mess with their trademarks and such. So, orchestrated? Yes, by us mods. Sponsored? Lol, no.

again,from my perspective what is so amazing is that people spoke of wanting to be on a waiting list for a 5000 dollar DAP

Today's prank will be tomorrow's reality! There probably will be an AK480 and it will have those specs, but maybe not at that price!
