Sylvain Wallez pisze: > Grzegorz Kossakowski wrote: > > Is it impossible with Maven to use a local library? I must admit I have not thought about this option, I guess I'm too accustomed to the fact that everything is on Maven's repository. There is a bit of information here: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-installing-3rd-party-jars.html and here: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/install-file-mojo.html. However, such a solution helps only if one checkouts sample from svn and does mvn install. We can't release a pom that depend on something that we install manually to local repository. It's quite easy and quick solution but only temporary, IMHO. Sylvain, I know that you use Ivy, how it works there? -- Grzegorz Kossakowski http://reflectingonthevicissitudes.wordpress.com/

2004 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG 0-160MPH-0 Run in 1 mile on a CLOSED ROAD World Record?
This is a video of my 2004 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG 0-160MPH run on a CLOSED ROAD, 1 mile in length. Action starts at 1:27 if you're impatient. :) It get's a bit dicey at the end when I'm trying to brake but I think you'll find the power of, "The Beast" pretty impressive. (I am biased obviously). I go from 0 MPH to 160 MPH back down to 0 mph in 1 mile. (Could this be a world record?) :) Hope you enjoy and visit the best Mercedes Benz forum in the world here: http://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg-81/ Thanks for watching! Alex

Ok, I can go with you with the DirectoryGenerator. The only problem here is that it is bound to the file system at the moment. We have the TraversableGenerator in our CVS, which is the more generic implementation, but with a bad name. We had already discussions on its name like HierarchyGenerator. I could also imagine to just replace the DirectoryGenerator with the TraversableGenerator and name the TG as DG. But it's another point with the FileGenerator. While the abstraction of file might be ok, you just can not read text or html files, but only XML. > I am sort of one the fence here.

I'd propose continue deprecation in 2.2 > and remove only after that - maybe even a major version (i.e., 3.0). I understand your concerns about confusing users. But at the moment I see much more confusion for new users. Users that already know Cocoon and have to change their application because of my proposed changes know what they are doing, it's just a question of informing them appropriately. But new users don't see the concepts as they are no longer clear. The main concept is Separation of Concerns (something like a definitive argument :) ) and if we document this separation it will be much easier to dive into Cocoon. But the components must reflect this separation. If a transformer writes something to DOM or disc then it's just wrong. This is the task of the controller. The other point is time. I understand that 2.2 is a way to fast for removing/replacing components. But how long will you go with old/wrong/irritatingly named stuff just for compatibility reasons? I like Geoff's proposal of doing the final step (removing) with the next major version 3.0. Before we will have weak (2.1 and 2.2) and strict (2.3, ...) deprecation. This is only the general way to go and we will vote about it for every component individually. Does this address all of your concerns? WDYT? Joerg

At some point over the past few days I got to see a good chunk of a movie called
Movin' With Nancy
. It was great! And by "great" I mean "really bad". The best (and by "best" I mean "worst") part was that the advertisements were a part of the show. Every ad was for RC Cola. It's a mad, mad, mad, mad cola.
Shake that cola drag, get the cola that's mad.
Seriously though, it was fascinating to watch this

As promised, here are
pictures from our hike
. This is one of my favorite hikes in one of my favorite places. This is the best time of year to go there. Wildflowers are in bloom everywhere, and the open areas are filled with lush, long grasses of different colors that sway in the breeze. Later in the season the grass will die, and the hillside will be brown. It was nice to get away from straight lines and noise, if only for five hours or so.

I went to see Aimee Mann and Michael Penn last night. She walked out on stage and performed a song. It was nice. Then
Lane Becker
walked on stage and sang a lovely beatle-esque tune. "How funny," I thought, "I didn't know Lane could sing." It sounded eerily like Michael Penn. Then it slowly dawned on me that this was
in fact
Michael Penn. During a break between songs I leaned over and whispered to
, "If you were to say that Micahel Penn looks like a web celebrity, who would you say that is?" Meg answered, "Lane Becker."
, upon overhearing our conversation said, "You're the third person to independently mention that tonight." What if Michael Penn was sick of performing and wanted to start a kick ass
web company
? What if Lane was romeo in black jeans? It's no myth. Then I ordered another drink.

There should be a blog

This U01 Translational Research in Muscular Dystrophy will support the development of recombinant human biglycan (rhBGN) as a therapeutic and to prepare the data package necessary for an IND filing with the FDA. It builds upon work supported by an exploratory R21 proposal to our laboratory where we have demonstrated that systemically-delivered, rhBGN counters the dystrophic phenotype in mdx mice and improves muscle function. Notably, rhBGN is effective when delivered at 3 week intervals and at doses of <10mg/kg. We propose a 4 year development plan to produce and to validate rhBGN material that is compatible with use in clinical trials. This plan will extend from pilot studies with material produced by transient transfection, to PK/PD in the mdx mouse model, to dose optimization with highly characterized material produced from a stable cell line under cGMP conditions. To maximize the efficiency and speed of this process, the work will make use of standardized models and assays as well as collaborations with several expert vendors of biologic development services. We have also enlisted consultants who have extensive expertise in the manufacturing, testing and regulatory issues that are unique to biologies.
In these translational studies we will develop a novel protein therapeutic for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The goal is to take our findings in mouse models of this disease and do the work necessary to test this therapy in boys with this devastating disease. If the proposed work is successful, we will be able to move immediately into Phase I clinical trials.

HP Looking To Get Back Into Smartphones
When asked if HP was working on a smartphone, she answered, "The answer is yes but I cannot give a timetable. It would be silly if we say no. HP has to be in the game." That's about as unequivocal an answer as you can get.
Ill-fated Palm Pre 2
Yin also stated that HP was focusing hard on tablet PCs, notebooks, and AIOs.
HP has some hard work ahead of it; although the smartphone market is growing at a breakneck pace, the entrenched behemoths of Apple and Samsung will (and have, so far) make market penetration by competitors difficult.
HP is well aware of that, and appears to be planning something unique to gain a foothold. "Being late you have to create a different set of proposition," Yin said. "There are still things that can be done. Its not late. When HP has a smartphone, it will give a differentiated experience."

Bangkok hmmmm
... on the recommendation from a man who we think owns a number of Tuk Tuks outside the hotel and likes to bet on English football. Following this we headed to the golden Buddha and checked that out (see photos) and we then went to Siam Square and ended up having a Maccy Ds to cure the hangover (oh how very British of us) before heading back on Tuk Tuk to Khao San via another tailors. This seems to be a common theme of all Tuk Tuk drivers getting some commission/fuel ...
Brilliant Bangkok
... famous temple in Bangkok. It was huge and very impressive. It was a big tourist attraction though and far too many people there so we made a swift exit. We had read about different scams in Thailand such as people telling you the temple had closed because of the rain and did we want a boat trip instead. Well someone tried that but we knew not to believe them. The taxis try to rip you off so you always have to go with a meter. We were quoted 200 Thai ...
... a good day. The children were far less reserved than they have been the past few weeks and in some cases were even a little bit too rowdy. I blame myself for that though - the one thing I am good at is getting children excited. Discipline isn't really my forte (of course Becky will be unhappy about that when we end up having kids). Lunch was right up Becky's street today - there were carrots, potatoes, green beans and meat with gravy. ...
Last part of an amazing journey
... and we appreciated the fantastic architecture and the neat courtyards.
After having spent 3 nights in Phnom Penh we were in a bus again and on our way south to meet up with Jeremy, another Dutch friend from Port Douglas who is working as a tattoo artist in Sihanoukville. As we were relatively close by we figured we would spend a couple of days together. As soon as we arrived we arranged all our stuff and hopped aboard a boat to head off to an island called Koh Rong. We spent ...
The Long Way 'Round
... the Canada and through Europe to get to Bangkok adding a few extra hours to my time in the air, regardless of the good connections.
It's always exciting to plan a journey and anticipate seeing it through. Getting organized and out the door is the hard part. And the getting there - though ear plugs, an eyeshade, a neck pillow and a sleeping pill make it a lot ...

Also, I wan to add the cvmaker feature as a service.
I need a logo design for this project.
You can find more details below:
Scope of Work:
sql databases.
2. The web application will consist of 3 main phases as follows:
An Arabic-English dynamic web application will be created using "asp.net" programming language and
? "Job Finder" phase:
The "Job Finder" will either register or login (if he/she is a member already):
o Register: The "Job Finder" will create his own profile by filling personal data field. For example: name, DOB, certificates, work experience, etc.
After he/she is done with profile creation, he/she will see 2 main things:
? Percentage of profile completion level.
? Job vacancies matching his/her qualifications, then he/she can click on the company
name to submit for a certain job.
o Login: by entering his/her username and password, will reach to the profile to edit and look for
matching jobs.
An email will be sent from the website to the candidate if a company visited his/her profile.
? "employer" phase:
The "employer" will either register or login (if the employer is a member already):
o Register: creating the company profile to be read by candidates, then the employer will choose the Account Level. After that the employer will pay the subscription fees by a credit card. As soon as the employer is done with that, the employer will see candidates up on the subscription Account Level.
? After the employer is done with profile creation, the employer will see 2 main things:
? Percentage of profile completion level.
? Matching candidates profiles. In addition, the employer will see the percentage of
matching between the job requirements and candidates qualifications.
o Login: by entering employer username and password, the employer will reach to the profile to
edit and look for matching [url removed, login to view] tools and permissions phase : mainly, the super-admin will be able to give partial permissions to managers and will be able to edit every single feature in application forms and more.
? Notes & Definitions:
o Account Level: Account Level depends on how many kinds of qualification the employer can
search for. Example, if the employer is looking for an Architect he will not be able to search in
Interior Designers profile unless he decide to upgrade the account by paying more fees.
o We suggest to have 4 account levels, as follows:
o Single candidate search.
o Double candidate search.
o Triple candidate search.
o Multiple candidate search.
o The employer can choose a candidate and press "approach" button in his/her profile. If the
employer has more than a job, a pop-up window will appear to choose a job from. Then an
email with job details will be sent to the candidate.
o The candidate can choose a job by pressing "submit" button on the job description page. Then
an email with candidate qualifications details will be sent to the employer and the email will mention the required job if the employer has more than one.

Comments about Kremona Solea Classical Guitar:
when you pickup this guitar you will not put down again,
the treble strings are bright while the bass strings react even to the slightest touch and resonate.
the action is lower than my previous guitar this makes playing on the Solea very comfortable
the action is low enough without making the buzzing sounds that other guitars do

Comments about Kremona Solea Classical Guitar:
Had been looking for a classical for awhile and have played a few from friends and shops.This is an amazing guitar for the price. Great craftmanship and I can't put it down. I am enjoying every note as it sings beautifully. It sounds open and clear. I would like a bit more bass perhaps a new set of quality strings and age would make it sound even better. I am amaze Kremona. Well done.
Comments about Kremona Solea Classical Guitar:
Stately, open sound ... like a rosewood. It's been my experience that Kremona delivers light-weight, big, open-sounding guitars ... with 12+ seconds sustain from the basses and nice, clear, shimmering trebles. They KNOW how to make classical guitars ... and DO. Always the best solid woods - for student, try-them prices. I love them.
Cocobolo is about as beautiful as woods come to behold - an eye-catching instrument.
Very well and predictably/consistently made ... with 3.6 mm action. Kremona only compromises where it doesn't affect sound, like on the head-stock dressing and some folks aren't enthralled with their taste in rosettes. My personal reaction: do I care more what it sounds like (for the money) or looks like?

Yes, Minister
The fundamental problem with the country is not the evil politician
but the 'obedient' Government servant
recurring theme of the relationship between political leaders in the Government and the civil servants has not been extensively debated. In my interactions with the younger members of the civil service, the question 'how should we deal with political pressures' crops up frequently.
My simple answer to the dilemma is that as a politico-bureaucratic interaction is intrinsic to parliamentary democracy, it depends mainly on the civil servant to steer the relationship in the best interests of the State while keeping institutional integrity intact.
A bureaucrat should be able to distinguish between the State and the Government of the day. In my view, it should be his endeavour to protect the interests of the State. The basic constituents of the State are the Constitution, the legitimacy of the political system and the security of the nation. He should not allow the integrity of the State, however imperfect or inadequate it may be, to be compromised.
For example, I consider the revelations of the weaknesses of our defence preparedness to be an act against the State. In fact, the Chief of Army Staff should not have written the letter to the Prime Minister on the subject. While his concern for the security apparatus may be genuine, I think it was a grossly improper move because he had not exhausted the remedies available to him.
There is a core group on security headed by the Cabinet Secretary that meets once every month or even more frequently, if required. All matters regarding security are discussed threadbare by this group, which has as its members the Chiefs of Defence Staff, the Defence, Home and Finance Secretaries, and the chiefs of all intelligence agencies. Besides, there used to be a weekly briefing taken by the Defence Minister when I was Cabinet Secretary in which all top defence brass were present. George Fernandes, the then Minister, was very particular about these meetings and I am sure such a forum still exists.
The big question is whether an issue of such immense proportions was raised and deliberated in these forums? If not, the intentions of the General are suspect. If it was (and no action was taken), there is certainly a policy paralysis in the Government on matters of national integrity. Nobody can take cover under coalition compulsions as has often been voiced by the Prime Minister.
Institutional integrity at the policy making and at the cutting edge levels largely depends on the civil servant. The conditions that constitute a system (or a group or an organisation) to function operate or behave to produce an intended outcome defines its institutional integrity. If institutional integrity is diminished, the opportunity for performance is also reduced. When the integrity of any component of a system diminishes, the workability of the system declines.
Confrontation occurs when the superior authority (political master or sometimes the senior bureaucrat) forces a civil servant to do something illegal or questionable or when a civil servant refuses to obey the legitimate orders of the superior authority. In my experience, I have come across instances of both.
A Chief Minister asked me to do a big favour to a business house of his choice that was unwarranted and patently irregular. When I expressed my inability to accede to his wishes, he threw me out from a prestigious position to a sinecure one. Unfortunately, the request was acceded to by the bureaucracy after I left. Though it gave me a feeling of being treated unfairly, there was no visible confrontation leading to a permanent fracture between us. On the contrary, there was a sense of relief at not compromising my conscience for a transitory advantage. In fact, much later when the action of the State Government was quashed by the High Court, the same politician admitted to me that it had not been proper for him to penalise me.
In another instance, there was a case of a learned and fiercely vocal Cabinet Minister passing a detailed speaking order on a file overruling the Secretary and favouring a business house of questionable repute. According to the rules of business, the Secretary was duty bound to comply with the directions of the Minister. But smelling something fishy in the Minister's motives, the Secretary informed the Cabinet Secretary, who advised the Prime Minister to quash the order of the Minister. The matter was projected in a section of the media as a case of politico-bureaucratic confrontation. It may be mentioned that there was no open defiance of the Minister's orders by the Secretary, who had only taken the legitimate step of bringing the matter to the Prime Minister through the Cabinet Secretary.
Similarly in 1999, there was a case of a high ranking defence official refusing to honour a lawful order of the Government. Admiral Vishnu Bhagwat, an otherwise intellectually brilliant Chief of Naval Staff, chose to confront the Cabinet with his own views. The confrontation cost him his job.
The Government of the day is fallible on account of political agendas and exigencies. There are compulsions of coalition politics that militate against the interests of the State. It is my conviction that bureaucrats should not play a part in such machinations and should, to the extent possible, resist the pressure to do the bidding of his/her political masters. There are various ways in which they can express their views in a disciplined, unexceptionable way. They can point out the illegality and undesirability of certain actions in discussions with the concerned minister. If that is not adequate, as in many cases it is not, they should clearly and unambiguously submit their advice on the concerned file. There have been several instances in my career where I have done this. If a Minister is clever, he will find a way around in such cases. However, if he is bull headed and obstinate, he will vent his annoyance and try to remove the civil servant from the scene. Whether he succeeds in doing so depends on the Chief Minister/Prime Minister. I will refrain from giving the details of my experiences on this matter lest they may be construed as self glorification. Suffice to say that such instances occur quite frequently in every officer's life.
In essence, the relationship between the political system and good governance remains complex. In an arbitrary political system, it becomes negatively correlated. There is enough empirical evidence of such negative correlation in several states like UP, Bihar, etc.
There are compulsions of coalition politics that militate against the
interests of the State. It is my conviction that bureaucrats should not play a part in such machinations and should, to the extent possible, resist the pressure to
do the bidding of his/her political masters.
Bureaucracy is a cocktail of textbook civil servants, greedy officials, obedient Government servants and belligerent individualists besides sundry incompetent mandarins and mad caps. They exist in a world of reality, make believe, sleaze and procedural mishmash. But there also exists a coded repertoire of laws, rules, procedures, legal pronouncements and precedents to show the way.
one end of the spectrum, there is a tribe of 'obedient Government servants' who have lost their backbones out of sheer timidity, past experience or the lack of guts. They are generally not corrupt, only spineless. For example, an officer of the rank of Director General in the Audit and Account Service signed a critical 2G document without recording his disagreement because 'he was an obedient Government servant'.
According to K J Alphons, "the fundamental problem with the country is not the evil politician but precisely the obedient Government servant" because the politician "cannot make a killing unless there is the obedient Government servant around to aid and abet them." He further says, "clearly the obedient Govern-ment servant as a category is a bigger danger than the corrupt because there is a system to deal with the corrupt."
The majority view among the veterans of the civil service is that civil servants must express their disagreement in discussions and in writing but stop short of fighting with their political masters. In such a confrontation, the issue is often lost and confrontation becomes the issue. There are several examples of officers who never compromised on their principles and made politicians see reason. In my personal knowledge, Nirmal Kumar Mukerji and Abid Hussain were two classic examples of steadfast integrity and unflinching views who never clashed with their political bosses.
Harsh Mander says that even legitimate and lawful orders should be rejected and violated, if they do not conform to the conscience of a civil servant. In my view, it is a fallacious viewpoint. If every civil servant starts acting according to his/her conscience in violation of the laws of the land, the whole system will result in a farcical chaos in which the democratic structure will be swept away.
If there are lacunas in law and regulations, a civil servant should try to amend them through the due process according to the Constitution. He should not act against the
law while remaining in service. For him, it would be appropriate to leave the service. There is plenty of space in civil society for people like Harsh Mander.

I stopped reading your article the moment I read your rather amazing sentence that the CoAS should not have written the letter to the PM regarding the (lack of) security of the nation. These are routine letters that all Chiefs write to the PM at a certain regularity -- in other words, the Chiefs are EXPECTED to write these letters! So, what is your point?

I am surprised at the comments of Dhirendra Krisha about aberrations on account of unlawful commands. As a matter of fact we see only such aberrations and connivance these days. Here is where I can state that even in its failure in getting implemented the RTI Act has succeeded in exposing the thugs, scoundrels and traitors in our offices of authority!

As somebody had pointed out rightly and most of us have experienced in public offices 'there is nothing civil or service about our civil services'! In fact I often wonder why these people in the IAS are called officers at all. At best they are good clerks and at worst they are traitors of the highest order! You may go through my blog IAS-Indian Assholes-on-Strike Service at raviforjustice.blogspot.com

Civil servants have no option but to obey lawful commands of his superior officer or politician. Aberrations happen when "unlawful commands" are followed and there is connivance in vitiating the system for corruption / nepotism / waste of public money/ personal favors. If the civil servants, at all level, had been enabled to take a stand against "unlawful commands", instead of meekly follow the whims of their superiors, public administration system would not have degenerated to current level. There is need for introspection on rusting of the steel frame, despite protection afforded by Article 311 of the Constitution of India. If seniors do not support firm actions taken by their subordinates, how can the juniors not succumb to pressures?

when i was joining the service, my father, who had joined the service 21 years before me, told me that it is the duty of the officer to give all facts to his political boss. no matter how unwelcome the advice may be, it has to be given. after that, if the 'elected representative' wants to make a decision that does not seem right, the public servant has to execute the order. he remains as an upholder of the system. if the decision is not good, the people will not elect the politician again. after 28 years, i still stand by the advise, but also agree with the advice that we should use other methods as appealing to our seniors directly if matters come to a head where the institution could be jeopardised.

The Wasp WWS800 Freedom Wireless Barcode Scanner Kit is a veritable workhorse that gives you the freedom to roam while staying connected via Bluetooth. The WWS800 Freedom Wireless Barcode Scanner allows you to move your scanner to the inventory instead of moving your inventory to your scanner. The Freedom Wireless Barcode Scanner uses Bluetooth technology, which allows you to scan barcodes and transmit the data from up to 160 feet (line-of-site) from the base. In Batch Memory Mode, you can work outside the 160-foot line-of-site range. Effectively, that means you can scan and store multiple barcodes located out of the 160-foot line of site. Scan barcodes from 1 to 12 inches away with the Freedom's aggressive CCD scan engine. With a battery life of 30 hours (20,000 scans) and a drop specification of almost 5 feet (1.5 meters), the Freedom is capable of meeting the demands of a rigorous work environment.The kit comes complete with a Bluetooth wireless barcode scanner, Bluetooth radio/recharge base, and cable for the base. The base performs two functions: it recharges the battery and supports wireless operation of up to seven scanners. Ideal for warehouse, factory floor, field service, and retail environments. The Wasp Freedom Wireless Barcode Scanner supports Microsoft Windows, Microsoft NT, DOS and Macintosh applications.

That's a really good idea. It's not really a new energy source, it's really just another form of regenerative braking. Would lower electric rail electric bills and reduce maintenance costs on braking system.
Such a good idea I am surprised they aren't already installed.
What we REALLY need are Shipstones. (cookie for reference)

Nestled in the bottom corner of Auroria lies the Ruins of Kel Voreth, one of WildStar's earliest dungeons. Besides being a place for the slaughter, this Osun stronghold contains a hefty amount of hidden lore. As part of his ongoing adventure through Nexus, Gareth Harmer reveals more about this barbaric race and their ties to the mysterious Eldan.
Read more of Gareth Harmer's WildStar: Legend of Kel Voreth.
I made the mistake to never care for the lore in the many years i played WoW. Later on it came to me that i missed out on ALOT about the game. Just going in there to tab-kill-loot only gets you so far and i never really knew what i was doing at all -lorewise.
Wildstar also seems to have a very rich story and if i would start it, this time i would take my time to turn every stone for the smallest memo on it's lore.
Tell you what, a lot of people have assumed Wildstar is just a fire and forget game with little substance. The more I learn about the new lore in this game the more I'm impressed. Even the origin story of the Exiles is an awesome read.
I hope Carbine carry on building on it throughout the game.

What you chose to live without,makes you afraid makes you sore,
if you stand out and up for what you believe in,
the people driven to hurt ,
remain in denial will be afraid much more,
afraid that they cannot feed off the pain that they protect.
the misery inside your life,they create the worst to collect
during the struggle try and shoot them down you'll find revenge in the end.
Do it on your own, it makes no difference with friends and family
you chose what you wish to be
you create your own luck
they string you down,
then when you turn it all around
use this chance to make them say they are invisible.

This review is from: CM Storm QuickFire Rapid - Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with CHERRY MX Brown Switches
Pros: Brown switches feel great, not too loud and annoying like blue switches.
Comes with red WASD keys, makes it easy to find them when the lights are down.
Cons: no 10key numpad, but i dont use that much anyways.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Acer S0 Series S220HQL (ET.WS0HP.A01) Black 21.5" 5ms Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 ACM 100,000,000:1 (1000:1)
Pros: SIZE- I prefer 21.5" over slightly larger screens because I like to lean in to be close to them. Having a larger screen causes me neck to hurt more, as I have to look around more.
IMAGE- The resolution is perfect for anything that I run. The color is also very well represented on this screen, and the brightness is top notch.
BUILD QUALITY- Dependable, sturdy construction, easy to assemble, and most importantly, no dead pixels. Also, EXTREMELY thin and light, which makes it super easy to transport.
Cons: none, i love it.READ FULL REVIEW

Etsy has Regretsy. Pinterest has WTF, Pinterest? With Kickstopper, the Daily Dot highlights the most bombastic and absurd projects seeking support through the popular crowdfunding platform, Kickstarter.
When does art function as something more than just art? When does it inspire and uplift even the most beleaguered community so that it does not just hope for change, but instead finds a way to embody the change it hopes to make?
The three men behind Oakland arts collective Wonderment Consortium hope to answer those questions. Together, they've set out to provide the children of Oakland with a figurehead they can admire and model themselves upon, a personality whose presence looms so large it can only be captured in art: Tom Hanks.
In the weeks ahead, the Wonderment Consortium will turn to Kickstarter to raise the funds necessary to build a statue honoring the Academy Award-winning actor.
"Tom Hanks is the spirit of these children," Consortium member Steuart Pittman told the Daily Dot.
"He's had the arc that a lot of comedians have had where he's gone from goofing off and being a comedian to taking on more and more serious roles. There's a depth to Tom Hanks, and he's able to inspire and bring weight to even the lightest of his roles. The gravitas that he shows in Joe Versus the Volvano when he's standing on the precipice of the lava pit… it's heartwrenching. When you go to these school rallies and gatherings, what we hear is that these children want to be just like Tom Hanks."
With colleagues Packard Jennings and Scott Vermeire, Pittman want to erect a nine-foot papier-mâché statue of Hanks in front of an Oakland-area high school to be named at a later date. It's a gift the three activists wish to bestow unto the city's community, and the price won't come cheap: The Wonderment Consortium is asking for $10,000.
"The costs in the Bay Area for projects like this can be astronomical," Vermeire explained to the Daily Dot. "We've got warehousing… it's quite a bit of newspaper. There are all sorts of adhesives that come into play."
"There will be some wood armature that we don't even list specifically on the site," his partner Jennings continued.
"Constructing iconic papier-mâché statues is not so simple that you can commit to a list of materials and themes. As artists, there is so much that is left unknown. We're trying to build an inspirational sculpture, but it's not really about reaching our destination. Right now, we're trying to focus our efforts on the journey itself."
There's no telling what an actual papier-mâché statue of Tom Hanks will cost a team of artists—to the Daily Dot's knowledge, no man has ever set out to erect such a tribute—but one could assume from a smattering of kindergarten art classes that papier-mâché is a decently inexpensive resource, and that the Wonderment Consortium in turn have tried to dupe the city of Oakland.
Since Kickstarter's terms of service clearly states that the company "is not liable for any damages or loss incurred related to rewards or any other use of the service," the crowdfunding platform is ripe for potential scammers with a solid pitch or quirky gimmick.
Indeed, the sentiment running through the press is that Vermeire, Pittman, and Jennings are cashing in on a $200 job, that they're devaluing the importance of community landmarks, and that they've created this project in jest: The Inspirational Tom Hanks Statue Kickstarter campaign is a joke campaign unto itself.
The three men making up the Wonderment Consortium say that public opinion could not be more wrong.
"One of the aspects of the project that's been surprising to us is that we've gone about proposing a project that's lighthearted in concept," Vermeire said.
"Tom Hanks is such an uplifting and inspirational figure, and oftentimes he plays a humorous and lighthearted character. Because of that, I think that a lot of people have gotten the impression that the project is also lighthearted. That's fine. I look at so many other Kickstarter projects and see projects of greater value to society, much like ours. Right now, we're trying to focus on getting people's money and making this campaign successful."
They've got 17 days and $8,280 to go. That's a hefty sum, but it's a small price to pay on the issue of inspiring children.
Kickstopper: Inspirational Tom Hanks Statue
- Location: Oakland, Calif.
- Summary: An arts collective in Oakland wants to erect a papier-mâché statue of Tom Hanks in front of an area high school.
- Goal: $10,000
- Amount raised of press time: $1,720
- Days left: 17
- Best buy: For $10,000, backers will receive one of four original Tom Hanks statue prototypes.

Elisabeth and Tim Hasselbeck are providing more fodder for "The Soup."
The husband and wife will swap jobs for a day: She'll visit ESPN, while he'll brave the ladies on "The View."
Elisabeth will first exhibit her perky sports knowledge on ESPN programs such as "NFL Live" (4 p.m. ET) at the Bristol, Conn. ESPN campus on Tuesday, Jan. 19.
"So many times we ask, 'How did work go today?'" said Elisabeth. "Undoubtedly we will be finding out the hard way as we switch jobs. The question then will be, 'What have we gotten ourselves into?'"
Later, on Thursday, Jan. 28, Tim, a former NFL quarterback, will put his best accessories on to fill a seat on "The View" alongside Barbara Walters, Sherri Shepherd, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar.
"Hopefully I can pull this off because I see her preparation on a regular basis each week — reading, and watching cable news shows, other television programs and upcoming movies. I will enjoy this because I know they will have fun with me at 'The View' and, of course, when I get back to work at ESPN. I'm sure I'll have a greater appreciation for what she does on a day-in and day-out basis."
Tim seems like he's taking this pretty seriously. We are hoping for some good controversy or at least a makeover.
Will you tune in for either or both of the swaps?

Yoga emphasizes seamless transition between poses, a skill set adopted by the Navy to teach cursive flag semaphore to its sailors. Spell out serene stances with today's Groupon to Urban Yoga, located inside the One Lexington condominium building. Choose between the following options:
- For $39, you get one month of unlimited yoga (up to a $119 value).
- For $139, you get three months of unlimited yoga (up to a $299 value).
Urban Yoga's knowledgeable, passionate instructors bestow wisdom and individualized attention upon students of all skill levels during an eclectic mix of classes held seven days a week. The Slow Flow class helps beginners and overexcited river rapids hone their technique with basic Vinyasa poses that focus on alignment and breathing. More advanced yogis can harness the soothing power of soft lighting and music to relax during Yin Yang classes. Like a rigorous seminar in the Village People's "YMCA" dance, the Ashtanga class challenges students to perform a predetermined sequence of poses, beginning with 10 sun salutations before moving on to one of six main series and a finishing resting pose. Blossoming body benders can splay themselves out on their own yoga mats or rent one for an additional $2.
Two studios populate Urban Yoga's 4,000-square-foot space, replete with locker rooms and a retail boutique. Exposed cement-block walls support 20-foot-tall ceilings towering above glossy wooden floors in one studio, while the other room's deep green walls cultivate an atmosphere more intimate than getting a palm reading from your own shadow. After arriving from the nearby Osborn light-rail stop or navigating vehicles through the free parking garage, clients can head to the complimentary tea bar for pre-workout hydration.

Ultra Lightweight
I have ordered this product for my quadriplegic son who is 7 years now and he is still using it. Its small frame & light weight structure help in the manoeuvrability within the confines of home and also for transportation outside. I may suggest however the seat can be modified slightly so as to prevent the sitting person from slipping forward every time. I keep a rolled up towel beneath so that the legs prop up and somewhat aids in remaining in position.

'We are not a global business,' insisted Sune Karlsson, the chief executive. 'We are a collection of local businesses, with intense global co-ordination. This makes us unique.'
But how do you exercise global co-ordination to add value among autonomous enterprises? 'Our people work on the same problems day after day, year after year, and learn a tremendous amount. We want to create a process of continuous transfer of expertise. If we can do so, that's a source of advantage none of our rivals can match,' Karlsson said. The 'if' is the billion-dollar question. The answer is to create the much ballyhooed but little understood 'learning organisation'.
Buckman Labs, a speciality chemical company based in Memphis, Tennessee, with annual revenue of dollars 200m, has a market value that exceeds its hard-asset value by dollars 175m. Bob Buckman suspects that value comes from the employee knowledge that is knocking around in the system.
Pondering those figures led Buckman to an obsession with '520 connected brains available to work on any problem'. He juiced up spending on information technology, and in mid-1992 shifted all information activities to an aptly titled knowledge transfer department. Buckman makes it clear that only those who get with the new programme will succeed. 'The most powerful individuals in the future of Buckman Labs,' he said, 'will be those that do the best job of transferring knowledge to others.'
Echoing these ideas, journalist Alan Webber claims the profound shift towards a brain-based economy means re-conceiving work 'as conversation'. Time was, he wrote in the Harvard Business Review earlier this year, 'if the boss caught you talking on the phone or hanging around the water cooler, he would have said: 'Stop talking and get to work.' Today if you're not talking with colleagues and customers, chances are you'll hear: 'Start talking and get to work]' In the new economy, conversations are the way knowledge workers discover what they know, share it with their colleagues and, in the process, create new knowledge for the organisation.'
Brook Manville, director of knowledge management at McKinsey & Co, the consulting firm, is trying to get several thousand dispersed consultants, always on the run, to learn more effectively from one another. Webber suggests Manville might better be called 'director of conversation' or 'internal talk-show host'.
One surprising candidate to fill this new corporate role is Michel Bauwens, an information systems manager at British Petroleum. He says information in corporate libraries usually belongs to the 'nice to know' rather than 'critical to survival' category.
Moreover, he adds, many companies have decided 'information is not a core competence but something that can be carried out, cheaper and in a more efficient manner, by outside information brokers'. At BP, for example, the central business intelligence unit was cut from 15 people to one. Yet Bauwens has no axe to grind: 'It is not my intention to blame anyone, but to point out that the fault may be in an outmoded organisational model that finds its expression in the existence of a central corporate library.'
In what he calls his 'cybrarian's manifesto', Bauwens argues that the library should become 'client-centred . . . cutting through the hierarchy and developing direct contacts in a networking model . . . consisting not only of external databases but also of E-mail, bulletin boards and computer conference systems'. Location counts as much as bits and bytes: 'Instead of huddling together among colleagues in a central location, we should be working in ad hoc teams closely integrated into the corporate fabric.' Add it up, Bauwens writes, and 'the corporation serious about its information needs may (need) a network of cybrarians - ie, librarians able to navigate in 'cyberspace' - strategically located through the company'.
I must admit that 'librarian' brings to mind Miss Pinkins, a spinster with grey hair pinned up in a bun. I'm not sure I've actually ever met such a person, but the image lingers. But the new library- cybrary function, the role of talk-show host, and the activity of knowledge-transfer are guickly becoming central to corporate strategy. The issue is of prime importance. As Karlsson, Buckman, Manville, Bauwens and all too few others know, the first to get this building block in place will have a matchless advantage in tomorrow's marketplace.

Rotary 20B turbo RX7 - Dyno & track
Built as an all-round event's car, Charles' Mazda RX-7 has undergone serious chassis and engine changes including a Promaz Automotive bridge-port 20B rotary engine. Boost comes from a Garrett turbocharger while the engine runs on methanol fuel controlled by a MicroTech LT16 computer and LTC dash logger. Backed by a Jerico 5-speed dogbox, the clutch was suffering on the Dyno as the Promaz team got the car ready for Performance Car Mania.
