Advanced Placement Studio Art
What is Advanced Placement Studio Art?
"The AP program in Studio Art is intended for highly motivated students who are seriously interested in the study of art. Students should be made aware that AP work involves significantly more commitment and accomplishment than the typical high school course." -College Board
The AP Studio Art Portfolio consists of three sections – Quality, Concentration and Breadth. The Quality Section provides the student the opportunity to show their actual ability and " permits the students to select the works that best exhibit a synthesis of form, techniques, and content." The Concentration Section "asks the student to demonstrate a depth of investigation and process of discovery". And the Breadth section asks students to " demonstrate a serious grounding in visual principles and material techniques." For the Quality section, the student sends in five actual artworks. For both the Concentration and Breadth, students submit twelve slides each. The three sections are scored separately by different evaluators but are weighed the same. The three scores are then combined and the medium becomes the score of the portfolio.
"Quality refers to the total work of art - the concept, the composition and technical skills demonstrated, and the realization of the artist's intentions. It can be found in very simple and elaborate works. For this section of the portfolio, students are asked to select examples of their very best work in which the evaluators will recognize quaility and will perceive that these works develop the students' intentions, both in concept and execution." -The College Board
For the Concentration Section of the portfolio, students are asked to research, investigate and explore different artists, art styles and cultures to help determine their interests in subject matter, medium and technique. With this information in hand, they formulate a thesis statement for developing "a body of related works based on an individual's interest in a particular idea expressed visually. It focuses on a process of investigation, growth and discovery" not on the product.
This year some of the student statements are as follows:
" I chose to focus on abstract expressionism as my concentration in order to reach my ultimate vision. I began my research by studying Mark Rothko and expanded into the works of Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. My love for abstract art has derived from these masters and their unique use of media. throughout my experiences with my own work I have come across a variety of materials and concepts. my ideas range from visions in dreams, to expressing deep emotions, to reacting to personal surroundings. With this, I hope to portray my statement." -Kristen DeMarco
"I believe art is a mechanism of self expression. Through artwork, I express feeling, opinion and creativity. For my concentration I have chosen to express my feelings of various places in and around my hometown of Baltimore. Some scenes appear inviting whilst others give a sense of coldness and solidarity. I try to represent this through color, mark making and composition." – Jessica Nyce
"For my AP concentration I am focusing on compiling works of simple, everyday objects in a repetitive style. I concentrated on pushing color and working with a vast variety of materials. I also worked on making my artwork fun and visually pleasing for all ages. I focused on, and studied in depth, the works of Wayne Theibaud and Candy Jernigan who both basically have work consisting of my concentration subject and ideas." – Jen Bengel
For the Breath Section, students are asked to demonstrate their diverse ability in media and subject matter, from observational to abstract to imagination. In the beginning of the year the course is focused on achieving this goal. Specific assignments are given both in class and for outside assignments. In addition, a list of 30 different problems is posted in the classroom. These problems particularly address using a variety of media and subject matter to enhance their portfolio.

BSOD while browsing
Hi, I'm using a laptop with Windows 7 64-bit.
I got BSOD while browsing over internet and some activities in windows explorer. I have attached the dump files. Can somebody tell me what the problem is.?
|My System Specs
|26 Nov 2012
Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause. In such a situation, it is better to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.
Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.
Also, upload your MSINFO32.nfo file.
|My System Specs
|26 Nov 2012
Well, some things you should do.
McAfee is a well know network crasher. Uninstall McAfee Using McAfee Removal Tool.
Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.
Download and install those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.
Also the network driver is kinda old.
Name [00000021] Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\rt64win7.sys (7.46.610.2011, 526.60 KB (539,240 bytes), 6/10/2011 6:34 AM)
Moreover, Daemon tools is not a safe program. It causes BSODs every off and on. Better you uninstall it.
Let us know the results.

"I like big butts and I can not lie,
You other brothers can't deny,
That when a *boy* walks in with an itty bitty waist,
And a round thing in your face,
You get sprung"
Sorry! I don't really know what came over me there. I got a little toooo excited over the Olympic Bums that my inner Sir Mix A Lot came out. It is true though, these olympics are proving enough eye candy on a daily basis to make you go crazy! From the mens diving, to mens gymnastics, to athletics, to the water polo, and even the wrestling, there is eye candy everywhere!
Now it is time for the butt. Those Olympic bums that have filled our screens for nearly two weeks, so much so that you forget what event you are watching. So here we go, the latest in the Olympic Man Candy posts is for the butt.
I mean, it's totally fine to stare at the TV screenw with open jaw, right?!
All together now...

CON-DEM plans to privatise the east coast rail line were blasted last night – after the service's bumper profits were revealed.
The nationalised company operating the vital rail link between Scotland and London returned £208.7million last year to taxpayers as revenues soared.
State-owned Directly Operated Railways were parachuted in to rescue the line in 2009 after National Express refused to see out their contract amid falling profits.
But now the service is making money for the public, the Tories want to hand it back to their big business pals.
The process to reprivatise the line will begin in two weeks and firms interested include Channel Tunnel operator Eurostar and Perth-based Stagecoach.
But the RMT rail union estimate keeping the franchise in public hands would boost the public coffers by £2.5billion over the next 12 years.
General secretary Bob Crow said: "These figures destroy from top to bottom this Government's case for handing the east coast back to the rip-off merchants from the private sector."
Scottish Labour's transport spokesman at Holyrood Mark Griffin said he was staggered that the Tories intend to press ahead with the privatisation.
He added: "Under public ownership, the line is able to return money to the Treasury, which can go into improving services. It seems ludicrous to pass this on to the private sector, whose priority is making a profit."
Green MSP Patrick Harvie said the private sector had a "history of failure" with the franchise.
He added: "It is a good service being run well and should become a model for nationalised rail services, not be handed back to private companies only interested in profit."
DOR chairman Doug Sutherland pointed out the line has also recorded improved customer satisfaction and punctuality.
But Stagecoach claimed the commercial return of the current operation had not been competitively tested and taxpayers would get a better deal from the private sector.
A Department for Transport spokesman said: "The independent Brown Review into rail franchising was clear that franchising remains the best way to secure services."

Does what my spouse make affect the earnings limit for my benefits?
A person who receives Social Security spousal or survivor benefits could be affected by the retirement earnings test. First, benefits paid to spouses and dependents are affected by the earnings test when the benefits are based on the record of a worker beneficiary who is subject to the earnings test(that is, the worker is below FRA and has earnings above the earnings test threshold). An exception is made for divorced spouses who have been divorced from the worker beneficiary for at least two years. Second, benefits paid to spouses (including divorced spouses) will be affected by the earnings test if these spouses or dependents are below FRA and have their own earnings above the exempt amount.

A friend of mine and I love to go on these Photo Walks together. It's a great way to practice, explore a new place, and enjoy good company all at the same time. When we get home, we sift through our photos, pick our top 5-10 shots and then share them with each other. It's really interesting to see what caught the other person's eye and how a simple difference in perspective can completely change a subject.
On one afternoon, we visited the UC Botanical Garden at Berkeley and took a few shots while meandering through rows and rows of gorgeous flowers. She brought her zoom lens, and I brought my prime lens with extension tubes for macro work. She wished she brought a macro, and I wished I brought a zoom. We could have swapped lenses, but she uses a Nikon, and I use a Canon. Funny how that happens. We were trying to travel light, but I guess you can never bring too many lenses with you. This flower is one of the shots I got — all the little flowers within a flower — I love it when things surprise you once you look through the lens.
By the way, anybody have a go-to lens they love to take with them? I'd love to hear about it – thanks!

I'm in a bit of a reading slump right now – I pick a book up, read a few pages, and nothing seems to want to click.
In the meantime, I thought it'd be fun to do a bookish survey! I found this one over at The Perpetual Page-Turner. It's a few years old, but it was the first thing that popped up on Google so here you go!
Author you've read the most books from:
Clive Cussler – I have easily read 45 of his books. They're formulaic as all get out but they're fun and they're easy, and I've been reading them since I was 11. I can't stop now!
Best Sequel Ever:
I'm going to cheat here and say Lord of the Rings – I mean, it is technically a sequel to The Hobbit!
Currently Reading:
Nothing in particular. I am going to have to try and push through this slump though, it's been two weeks now that I haven't been able to settle on a book!
Drink of Choice While Reading:
Same as my drink of choice when I'm not reading – herbal tea.
E-reader or Physical Book?
I do vastly prefer physical books, but I won't deny the convenience of an e-reader. I am hoping to get a new one soon, actually.
Fictional Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated In High School:
Oh dear. I was not one for good decisions in high school. Let's go with Holden Caulfield. And I hate Catcher in the Rye, so that tells you something.
Glad You Gave This Book A Chance:
The White Bone by Barbara Gowdy. It's the last book I finished and it was completely beyond what I was expecting and I really enjoyed it.
Hidden Gem Book:
The Lost Salt Gift of Blood by Alistair MacLeod. I picked it up on a whim and it blew me away.
Important Moment in your Reading Life:
I suppose when I first began reading on my own. I'm not sure when that was, I feel like I've just always been reading. Oh dear, that's a bit of a cop-out answer though, isn't it?
Just Finished:
The last book I finished was The White Bone.
Kinds of Books You Won't Read:
I just can't even remotely find it in me to try contemporary paranormal romance. I'm sorry. I also don't like self-help books very much.
Longest Book You've Read:
A Storm of Swords by George R. R. Martin, at 1177 pages.
Major book hangover because of:
The one that still sticks out to me six years later is The Collector by John Fowles. I could not stop thinking about that book for weeks after I finished it.
Number of Bookcases You Own:
Five that contain just my books. There are another two that are shared between my husband and I, and then he has a few more of his own.
One Book You Have Read Multiple Times:
The Hobbit. I think I have read it half a dozen times perhaps, and I'm not much for rereading.
Preferred Place To Read:
I actually really enjoy reading on a long bus ride!
Quote that inspires you/gives you all the feels from a book you've read:
"Your truth may not look like mine, but that is not what matters. What matters is this: You can look at a scar and see hurt, or you can look at a scar and see healing."
– A Gracious Plenty, by Sheri Reynolds.
Reading Regret:
Oh gosh, I am not sure! I try not to have regrets. Possibly all the books I never read.
Series You Started And Need To Finish (all books are out in series):
The Sancti Trilogy by Simon Toyne. I picked up the first one on a whim and loved it, so I picked up the second and third. Unfortunately I read the first book about 5 years ago at this point so I may need to reread it first!
Three of your All-Time Favorite Books:
The Hobbit. Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman. He, She, and It, by Marge Piercy.
Unapologetic Fangirl For:
Chevy Stevens. I LOVE her books. They're twisty and clever and take place in the region I grew up in.
Very Excited For This Release More Than All The Others:
Chevy Steven's newest, which is being published NEXT WEEK!
Worst Bookish Habit:
Dog-earing pages. I will try to appease your sensibilities by clarifying that I never do it to books that are not mine!! And it's not like I don't have bookmarks – I do! I just…always seem to find myself dog-earing.
X Marks The Spot: Start at the top left of your shelf and pick the 27th book:
The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood. Truly a book for our times.
Your latest book purchase:
War Hawk, by James Rollins. I love his Sigma series and I enjoyed Tucker and Kane's appearances there so I am excited for their continued adventures.
ZZZ-snatcher book (last book that kept you up WAY late):
I'm not sure. I'm often kept up past by bedtime by fan-fiction, though!

by Carolyn Pineda
Thirty years ago, most women were not going to college. And if they did, no one would have been shocked if they said they were going to college to become a teacher or nurse. That was the expected and appropriate answer for a young woman to give during that time in society. It was not uncommon for girls of that generation to marry straight out of high school and fore go any further education. But my, how things have changed in recent years!!
In 1973, I did exactly what I believed I was supposed to do at the ripe age of 19 by marrying straight out of high school, forcing the thought of college into the back of my mind. Unfortunately, several years later, I realized that I had made the WRONG decision. I know, first hand, exactly how difficult everyday life can be when your spouse doesn't support you and your dreams; and in fact, he becomes an obstacle that holds you back. I found myself beginning to believe this was the way it was going to be and my dreams were being crushed along with my spirit. Instead of giving up though, I dug deep down inside of myself and told myself that I was better than the circumstances that I was in. Although it was extremely difficult, I mustered the courage to finally free myself from the conditions that were holding me down. We should never forget the difference we can make for ourselves, our children and others around us.
With the love, support, and encouragement of my parents, I was given the best gift that I could have ever received- a second chance to become what I was destined to be. I was not going to fall into the trap that so many other young girls did in those generations. I was not going to allow myself to believe that men were more capable and more qualified than women to have a professional career. I cashed in my ticket to college and began the life I was meant to live.
I did not follow the path of the few other women who attended college in pursuit of a teaching or nursing degree. Instead, I received a degree in both Mathematics and Computer Science, which enabled me to get a computer programmer position with Texas Instruments. Early in my career, I planned to be a programmer for the rest of my life. After all, I was working in a "man's" world, and most of the leaders were men.
I thought that being a woman would hold me back from being a leader in the corporate world, but I now realize that being a woman is what actually propelled me into success!! I did not, in fact, live out the rest of my professional life as a computer programmer. I recently retired as an executive from Sabre, a Fortune 500 company, and I firmly believe that it was all because of the natural leadership skills that women posses.
I believe we are currently living in a world that is in desperate need of women leaders in the workforce. This is our time to shine and rise above any obstacle that is placed before us. Regina Sacha, VP of Human Resources for FedEx Custom Critical, says, "We're looking at a different paradigm of leadership, and it plays naturally into the strengths of women. The tide has turned. The leadership skills that come naturally to women are now absolutely necessary for companies to continue to thrive."
Recent research has found that the "domineering leadership style that men tend to posses is becoming less and less popular. There is a new appreciation of those traits that women use to keep families together and to organize volunteers to unite and make changes in the shared life of communities. These newly admired leadership qualities of shared leadership; nurturance and doing good for others are today, not only sought after, but also indeed needed to make a difference in the world. A feminine way of leading includes helping the world to understand and be principled about values that really matter." (Lowen, Linda. "The Unique Leadership Characteristics of Women." Qualities of Women Leaders. )
My life is a testimony to how far women's roles in the business world have advanced. I believe that there are no limits to women's success in the professional world. Every woman possesses natural leadership abilities that the world needs now more than ever. With courage and perseverance, we are unstoppable. There has never been a better time for women to advance in the workforce than now. I would encourage every woman to really tap into her own unique talents and skills, and apply them in every situation that is encountered.
Carolyn Pineda's History Carolyn Pineda was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas. After her first marriage failed, she started Lamar University at the age of 25. Carolyn graduated from Lamar University in 1987 with a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. At that time, she moved to Dallas, Texas along with her second husband of now 27 years. Carolyn started her career as a programmer at Texas Instruments; and later went to work for American Airlines Decision Technologies, which later became Sabre, an independent fortune 500 company. At Sabre, Carolyn became an executive where she managed the software services for all of the airlines around the world. She managed a team of 225 employees across the globe. In 2004, Carolyn founded a non-profit organization called Empowering Women as Leaders so that she could give other women less fortunate a second chance to have a professional career. As of 2008, Empowering Women as Leaders operates in Dallas and Beaumont, Texas and has sponsored 10 women with plans to expand to other cities in 2009. After living in Dallas for 20 years, Carolyn made the decision to come back home to Beaumont- not only to be close to family, but to give back to the community. She has a strong passion to support women in realizing their full potential. Carolyn has started a management consulting firm, VP Consulting and Associates, where she leverages her broad business and management experience to provide consulting services and employee development for small to medium size companies. Most recently, Carolyn has worked with Regina Rogers Gift of Life and Lana Cosby of L Studio Home Design in Beaumont as well as The Paper Plate in Dallas. Carolyn is a strong advocate of women's development and achievement. She loves to share her life's challenges so that others may be able to overcome their own.

Metis Nation in NWT asking for millions in compensation from Ottawa
Charlotte Morritt-Jacobs
APTN National News
Members of the Northwest Territories Metis Nation are demanding that Ottawa put $120-million in a trust fund to compensate them for lost hunting revenue after being evicted from the Wood Buffalo National Park.
Following the creation of Wood Buffalo National Park in 1922 – just under 2,000 Metis hunters and trappers and their families were involuntarily removed from the park which was within the homeland of the Metis.
"A lot of the people they were removed from the park," said Earl Evans, a member of the Fort Smith Metis Council in the NWT. "They hunted and trapped and that's all they knew, that's all their family knew and that's all their children knew.
"Once they were removed from the park they had to find other means to live and go."
Evans and his friend Ken Hudson have been hunting for decades – but not on their traditional land.
Through treaties, First Nations communities in the area were given hunting rights with restrictions – but the Metis were not included.
Read more: Wood Buffalo National Park
Now Hudson and Evans of the Northwest Territories Metis Nation are posting protest signs at key areas highlighting the historical exclusion of Metis from the park.
"It is very important that we do this for the younger generation coming up so their rights are there," said Evans.
The Metis have been voicing their concerns to Parks Canada for a long time.
"I was complaining before these signs," said Hudson. "I said your website does not include any information about the Metis, not a word.
"Two years of talking with them and they did nothing."
For Metis now hunting in the park is a touchy subject -granting hunting permits is case by case.
Hudson obtained his permit in 2001, only after he proved his Indigenous roots tied back to Fort Chipewyan people who were granted rights.
But Hudson wants people to know the history of how Metis were treated here.
The Metis Nation is requesting that $120 million from the federal government for a trust fund to cover the losses.
"This is 90 years of denied rights in the park which is huge," he said. "When you consider just on the low side that the loss in fur and meat was in excess of $120 million that isn't a small thing."
In the meantime, Hudson and Evans will continue to post signs.
"Anyplace that tourists go, where signs could be read. just to get the information out that this happened to Metis, because this was lost to history."

Tourism chiefs are promoting links to Sir William Wallace in a bid to attract more visitors to an historic town.
Selkirk, in the Scottish Borders, held its first day of celebrations marking the medieval hero's unique links to the town.
It included a "medieval procession" and re-enactment of the ceremony in which Wallace was knighted and made Guardian of Scotland.
Historian Dr Fiona Watson, who attended the events, said today that Selkirk merited a place on the "Wallace trail".
She said: "This is where Wallace went to recruit and train men. There is no doubt he was in Selkirk for several weeks in the summer of 1297.
READ MORE - William Wallace myths busted
"Following the Battle of Stirling Bridge in September that year, there is a tradition that he was knighted and made Guardian of Scotland at Selkirk.
"The great and the good would have been there."
The event at the weekend followed the recent discovery of the remains of the church where Wallace was made the de facto head of Scotland in September 1297.
The historic event took place in Selkirk's Kirk O' the Forest after Wallace defeated the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
The scene was depicted in Mel Gibson's Oscar-winning epic Braveheart, but the real site where nobles and clergy gathered to recognise Wallace was lost.
Archaeologists located its remains within the town's 18th century Auld Kirk.
READ MORE - On this day in 1305, William Wallace was hanged, drawn and quartered
The inaugural event aimed to raise awareness of Selkirk's historic significance and attract tourism.
Borders Councillor Ron Smith said: "Hopefully this is just the start of efforts to make the most of this important link, which has the potential to attract many more tourists to Selkirk."

Squirrels thieving wild bird feed
Click to read Telegraph artcicle
Interesting one this.
I'm not altogether sure I want to distract the Squirrels as I rather like watching them, but I have to admit, it costs me a fortune in Peanuts !
The bird's don't seem to care much either.
So, as an experiment, I have two Feeders, so thought I'd try the above method on one of them, just to see.
It is strange that Squirrels up their game for Wild Bird Feed at this time of the year, when there's loads of Hazelnut and Chestnut trees no more than 50 meters away from here !
What I think is so wonderful though, is the fact that the human species with all it's technology can be beaten by 'the underdog' !!
Little Ruggers !
I use Fatballs as well.

I love watching them as well. I have feeders for the birds, hanging in the trees and just put whole peanuts on the bird tables for the squirrels.
If you can't be a good example........
you will just have to be a horrible warning
Used to get quite a few in our garden until we got the dog - if one dares to venture in now he soon chases it back where it came from.
I have to say I think they're cute even if they are rat with tails
My bird feeders are being visited regularly by robins and coal-tits at the moment, they love the fat balls
I have a lovely little wren around today, so cute.
If you can't be a good example........
you will just have to be a horrible warning
Starlings and wood pigeons are about our lot at the mo. hopefully we'll get some robins and bluetits back soon.
Bah Humbug
There is a grey squirrel that visits next door neighbours to empty the bird feeders on a regular basis. It has a temper on it if it doesn't get a load of peanuts at first go. Ends up shaking the bird feeders furiously!!

My bird table has so far not been got at. It is a tall hook/pole stuck in the ground with the table hanging off it. The squirrels cannot climb the shiny thin metal pole, and if they try to jump on it, it rocks from side to side and they fall off Its also positioned away from trees so they can only try and jump off the ground
They are extremely cunning critters but (so far) this one has them fooled

This table top was man made from fiberglass and concrete and sealed with a polyurethane sealant, so its incredibly strong and more resistant to eroding or chipping than a stone or marble table top. The finish was hand-applied by artisans to recreate the natural character of stone, while the polyurethane sealant makes it more stain-resistant, UV-resistant, and significantly easier to clean and maintain than stone tops.
Contemporary design meets island-living with this Accent Table. Ideal for use with the armless curve frame, the clipped triangle top table sits between two curves or at the end of multiple attached curves to continue the circle while providing space for refreshments or reading materials. The weatherstone top is finished by hand, with artisans recreating the natural character of crushed bamboo in a sundrenched sienna finish. The darker finish on the aluminum frame exhibits a contemporary balance of textures and color while providing stability and durability appropriate for the outdoors.

Alessandra & Francesco
Alessandra & Francesco were married in the beautiful Borgo di Tragliata nestled in the lush countryside of the Fiumicino area of Rome.
In an area inhabited since ancient times, the beautiful medieval village with on-site accommodations, a restaurant and a chapel and banqueting area for weddings, is surrounded by 4 hectares of grounds and is utterly charming and unique!
Alessandra & Francesco married in a catholic ceremony the Borgo's pretty chapel then after a romantic walk through the scenic grounds they joined their guests at the Massello dining hall for their reception.
Alessandra, Francesco and their guests ended the day's celebrations by lighting Chinese lanterns in the gardens and watching them float away into the night sky.

I generally avoid the term "hacks" when referring to tips on improving yourself, and this topic is no different. This is, however, probably the closest I will ever get to a hack on this website (I feel dirty just saying that).
Life today is a non-stop slew of obligations, responsibilities, and tasks. Without proper planning and task management, it is incredibly easy to become overwhelmed. The purpose of this post (or this website) is not to go into organizing your life. Rather, this is one simple trick I have inadvertently discovered to keep my stress levels under control in even the most trying of circumstances.
get into fights
Okay yes, I am being a little hyperbolic with that statement. I am NOT actually advocating you go out on the street and pick fights with random people. That's a recipe for serious injury, death, jail time, and lawsuits (including a few directed at me). What I should say is to compete in a sparring competition.
- Full-contact, knockout rules
- In the largest venue you can get into
Who would suggest such a thing? How does this even help me manage stress?
In order to answer this question, we're going to need to delve into some Psychology 101…
Enter maslow's hierarchy of needs
There are three tiers that are directly influenced by sparring. Two of the tiers are positively affected while the final tier is adversely affected. Review the pyramid for a moment and I'm sure you can guess which ones they are.
Tier 5: Self-actualization (positively influenced)
Just the mere act of striving to better yourself increases your confidence and acts as a barrier against stress. You don't even need to win your competition for Tier 5 of Maslow's Chart to be activated (although winning will definitely give you a bigger boost than simply competing). Those who view themselves as strong, capable individuals are less likely to succumb to the minutia of daily life.
For this tier to be properly activated however, you MUST actually dedicate yourself towards improving your skill and physique.
Entering a competition without any preparation will just result in a bloody nose and bruised ego.
Conversely, if you lose a competition you trained your butt off for, you'll still leave with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
Tier 4: esteem needs (positively influenced)
Tier 4 affects our stress response very similarly to Tier 5. When our sense of accomplishment is increased, we naturally become more stress-resistant. It all revolves around your sense of confidence, competence, and social status. Not much more to say about it.
Tier 2: safety needs (negatively influenced)
So this is what my original post was going to focus on, but while doing some research, I found how competitive sparring influenced multiple aspects of the pyramid and felt the need to further elaborate.
Generally speaking, the further down the pyramid you go, the more acute and urgent the stress becomes when a certain set of needs aren't being met. That's why full-contact sparring is so effective at short-circuiting stress. You are in immediate, and very real, peril.
There is someone standing directly in front of you that wants to cause you physical harm!
To make matters worse, there's also a crowd of people to watch every move you make (remember how I said earlier to compete in the largest venue you can find?). Talk about stress! In fact, it's so overwhelming, that it is common for people to simply shut down during a match. I've seen many people who fancy themselves the next Steven Lopez only to stand in the ring like a deer in the headlights.
Don't let that deter you. I've frozen up many times myself. It's when you break past the overwhelming feeling of danger that you are freed from stress. Nothing you will experience in the office is as scary as someone trying to knock you out.
It's this exposure to your very safety that keeps regular daily stressors in perspective.
Deadlines looming around the corner?
At least your boss isn't breaking your nose.
Customers screaming at you over the phone?
Still easier than fighting in front of thousands.
I've been so calm and collected while everyone around me were going ballistic that once someone actually thought I was a serial killer. I laughed at the absurdity of this statement, but it got me thinking…Not of killing people! It made me think of what has allowed me to stay so relaxed.
For a long time I attributed it to my Type B personality. Now I realize that isn't it at all. It was from all the competitions I'd been participating in from such an early age. My first competition was 16 years ago when I was only 14. I was intentionally, yet unknowingly, subjecting myself to intense and acute stress at a relatively young age.
Just like muscles grow from lifting weight, my capacity to handle stress grew by subjecting myself to high amounts of it.
I no longer freeze up when something unexpected happens. I immediately jump into action. That's not to say I always instinctively respond with the best solution to the problem, but I rarely suffer from the paralysis that many others suffer from. Even in situations where I don't know what to do, I still act.
The mere act of moving helps diffuse the stress and paralysis.
So there you have it. The simplest way to dominate stress. Put yourself in an environment with impossibly high levels of stress and force yourself to adapt. Don't expect it to work after the first competition. I don't know when I finally adapted to high-stress situations, but I can tell you that I have over a decade's worth of competitions under my belt; 8 of those years were on the national level. It's not a light switch that just magically turns on one day. Rather, it is a gradual process where your mind adapts over time. It requires diligent training and sincere effort, but you will come out stronger; both mentally and physically.

If you're worried that your child is being groomed online or sexually exploited you should report your concerns to CEOP.
It is not always easy to spot the signs of online grooming and sexual exploitation so if you have any concern at all about someone your child is in contact with, you should get in touch.
You should always report if your child is or has been in contact with someone who is:
CEOP is a command of the National Crime Agency and can investigate what is happening – with the assurance that the safety and wellbeing of your child is paramount at all times.
If you are concerned that your child is in immediate danger, call 999.
You can make a report to CEOP using the CEOP Safety Centre.
You will need to complete an online form which will ask you for your contact details and information about what has happened. It will ask:
You should complete the form as fully as you can but don't worry if you don't have all of the details.
When completing a CEOP report you are reporting suspicions of crime to law enforcement so we can't receive anonymous reports.
If you want to discuss your concerns with someone first then call the NSPCC Helpline on 0800 800 5000
All of the reports are first reviewed by child protection social workers. They will:
It is important to remember that it can be difficult for a child to come forward and tell an adult what has happened to them – they are often embarrassed, fear adults won't understand , scared they will get into trouble or that adults will over react. Ensure you tell your child that whatever has happened, it is not their fault and you are on their side.
Finding out your child has been sexually abused can be a traumatic experience. You may need additional support to come to terms with what has happened to your child.

Data Science Technologies (DST) is committed to Open Compute Project started by Facebook and is promoting the growing open source hardware platform which is being adopted increasingly by most of the large data centers to reduce cost and bring in better service level's.
Hacking Conventional Computing Infrastructure
Open Compute Project was started at Facebook over two years ago with a pretty big goal: to build one of the most efficient computing infrastructures at the lowest possible cost. They decided to honor their hacker roots and challenge convention by custom designing and building their software, servers and data centers from the ground up – and then share these technologies as they evolve.
The result is a data center full of vanity free servers which is 38% more efficient and 24% less expensive to build and run than other state-of-the-art data centers.
"Open Compute Project, an attempt to get tech industry titans to share strategies and designs for massively scalable computing architectures. It's effectively an open source project designed around community contributions of very advanced data center-centric technologies." – Sam Dean, in his blog
Why Open Hardware?
By releasing Open Compute Project technologies as open hardware, the goal is to develop servers and data centers following the model traditionally associated with open source software projects.

Based in Pasadena CA, Christina is a former actress/screenwriter; an award-winning writer, instructor, script consultant; and her credits include 26 books, 133 plays, 5 films and hundreds of articles that appear in trade publications around the world.
Q: The Days of Song and Lilacs is a lovely title. What's the story behind it and what inspired you to share your story with others?
A: In Mason City, Iowa, in 1954, everyone seemed to have two things in abundance: music and lilacs. Those nubby blossoms nodded along every alley, guarded each yard, I even think they made us dizzy! And those marching bands practiced like mad, down most every street by day; and piano music floated through the sash of every window at night. And live entertainment was everywhere, pre-television, served up like dessert—at Vivian's Bridal Shower, Farmers' Round-Up, Stunt Night in the Park. I got to tap-dance out almost every night! And, to boot: I lived down the street from Meredith Willson, who was composing his beloved The Music Man for Broadway, and—we had the same accompanist, the elderly Mabel Kelso. Who could ask for anything more? I was 12 years old.
Q: What ignited – and zealously fueled – your unabashed passion for wanting to tap-dance all the time?

The Innocents (1961)
Directed by: Jack Clayton
Written by: Henry James, John Mortimer, Truman Capote, William Archibald
Starring: Deborah Kerr, Megs Jenkins, Peter Wyngarde
The Innocents [1961]
In Victorian England, the uncle of orphaned niece Flora and nephew Miles hires the inexperience Miss Giddens as governess to raise the children at his country estate with total independence and authority. She meets the housekeeper and Flora, who seems to be a lovely young girl. Then Miles arrives having been expelled from school for mysterious reasons, and Miss.Giddens starts to see brief glimpses of a man and a woman in and around the house. Could they be the former governess Miss Jessel and valet Peter Quint, even though they are supposedly dead?…….
Most film fans, especially horror fans, have one film which once terrified then senseless. I've seen quite a few films which have frightened me, but none so much as The Innocents. I first saw it about twenty years ago late at night, and was absolutely terrified, to the point where I had to stop it [luckily it was a video copy of a TV showing a few nights before]. Only about twelve year after did I venture to watch it again, and it was still scary, though nothing can match that first viewing, and I was more appreciative of a what a truly brilliant film it is, so cleverly crafted from beginning to end. It's an adaptation of Henry James' novella The Turn Of The Screw, one of the all time great ghost stories. It's a story which has been filmed quite a few times, though usually for TV, and I've seen two other versions. They also are a bit frightening-you'd have to be Uwe Boll to screw this tale up-but Jack Clayton's film is the best version, in that it's fairly faithful to it's source whilst tweaking it and never forgetting that it's also a film -the script by Truman Capote and William Archibald is an object lesson in how to adapt a story for the screen , being quite faithful whilst adding detail that works in both a visual sense and a psychological sense . It's also, of course, the most frightening.
It's all about subtlety. There are no sudden jumps, but tons and tons of unsettling detail. The glimpses of the ghosts are almost matter of fact but more effective for that very reason. Cameraman Freddie Francis' use of widescreen is crucial here- you're forever on edge looking at the sides of the frame even more than the centre, which is often bathed in really bright light- indeed, this is a really bright film [they actually had some trees painted to make them brighter], and we are just as on edge during scenes in the middle of the day as we are during night time scenes. Despite the fact that Clayton himself was disappointed with the way that the appearances of Quint were handled, considering them too obvious ,Quint's face appearing out of the dark outside a window is very unsettling [and was copied by Mario Bava for his superb The Whip And The Body], but the bits which really got me, in fact they scared the living shit out of me, are the shots of Miss Jessel, clad in black and with a face you can't quite make out, sitting on reeds on the other side of a river. I was haunted by that image for years. More frightening in an even more understated way are some of the scenes with the children, who may or may not be at times possessed by the ghostly pair. There's a really eerie early scene where Flora is standing at the end of Miss Giddens' bed looking both angelic and creepy at the same time and another bit where Miles plants a big kiss on Miss Gidden's lips which is both creepy and perverse [and bothered the studio 20th Century Fox who wanted it removed]. Interestingly, there's one scary bit that was unintended- you briefly see 'something', but it's actually the clapperboard which they'd left in the shot! Clayton decided to leave it for it's unsettling effect.
Despite being on the face of it a very subtle film, it actually has very disturbing elements to it. Aside from the fact that this is another one of those films [and many of the great horror films have this] where the ghosts may just be in Miss Giddens' head, she's actually going mad, and ends up being a child murderer, there's also a really nasty element of sexual perversion in the film. It's very [and I mean very, after all this was 1961] subtlely stated, but it becomes apparent that Quint and Miss Jerssel indulged in a sado-masochistic relationship and that the children not only may have witnessed some of this but were drawn into it somehow. There are other elements which are only half-stated but add to both the unease and the fascination, such as the children hurting animals. Things such as flowers and statues are used throughout for symbolism, some of it obvious stuff such as the loss of innocence etc, but it's incredible the amount of thought that went into every scene and setting. The exterior scenes were all filmed at Sheffield Park House, but inside everything is a carefully thought through set.
The film's dreamlike feel is reinforced by having every scene change [bar one] be through a dissolve, so often for a split section you have a really unsettling composition of two scenes together at the same time. Clayton was supposedly disappointed with George Auric's score but it works well as does the haunting children's song sung throughout by various characters] being more subtle than the usual horror score, yet still making it's own contribution to the terror, such as the eerie high-pitched electronic sound you sometimes hear just before a ghost appears. Deborah Kerr claimed her performance was her best ever and I can't argue with that. She basically had to play both a character who was seeing ghosts and a character who was imagining the ghosts at the same time, to keep things ambiguous. Martin Stephens and Pamela Franklin really sell the idea of Miles and Flora being both typical children and maybe being evil and possessed [apparently they weren't told of the story's darker elements] . Cary Grant wanted to play the uncle at the start of the film but wanted to appear at the end as well as the start so Michael Redgrave did the role. There is one odd shot right at the end where we see from Quint's point of view, I'm not sure it works though there must have been a reason for it, but from acting to sound design to photography to dialogue, you name it, I can't think of a single aspect of this movie which could be improved and believe it is probably the greatest ghost story [unless you count Vertigo] on film.

My Critiques
the last beat of the pig-hearted man
better living through bacon
russ carr
I am...not entirely human.
I am the result of multiple surgical techniques, the product of which is a body that is beyond what nature intended. I am a hybrid.
Some parts are man.
Some parts are machine.
Some parts are...pork.
Roughly 38 years ago, give or take some weeks, I had part of my heart replaced. A dysfunctional valve was removed, and in its place was sewn a similar valve from a pig.
It's a good thing I wasn't born Muslim. Or an orthodox Jew.
But after nearly four decades, during which I kept many a cardiologist stunned and amazed by the consistent performance of my ham heart, it looks like its days may be numbered. They've put me through every non-invasive test they've got, and they're just not satisfied that things are still kosher. So in a couple of days, they're gonna snake a camera up my femoral vein and take a good look around.
I'm not hog-wild about the prospect.
I can only imagine what they'll see. Arteries stuffed like pork chops. Heart muscles threatening to burst like bratwurst straining in their casings. A valve of pancetta, wrapped in prosciutto, stuffed with guanciale.
I can't help it; I'm drawn to pork by unnatural cravings. Like that horror movie where the guy gets the hand transplant from an executed murderer, then starts killing! Or like the little chunks of the Iron Giant, maybe the pig valve is trying to pull together its original component parts, so it can be a pig again.
Which makes me wonder where my pig came from. You see stories all the time about people who, after they've received an organ donation, locate the donor's family and all but adopt them. So what of
pig? Did he suffer? Was he just a lab pig, raised for harvesting parts? Did he have a sty, a pen or a poke? Were his other, non-transferable parts eaten? Was he "some pig," after all, or just some nameless, thankless sow?
The lifespan of a wild pig, which the previous owner of my valve was almost certainly not, may be as long as 25 years. A domesticated pig only lives a fraction of that, perhaps 10-15 years. So if it's truly time for this pork to be pulled, I can appreciate that I gave it a much fuller life than it would have had on its own; to its credit, it's done the same for me. We've been a good team, my throbbing, pulsing piggy and I.
Should it be replaced, I will likely receive a mechanical valve. They last longer. I have other mechanical parts already, so one more won't be that big a deal. But I'll have to be on anti-coagulants for the rest of my life. That's the trade-off. Pig valves don't clot up. But pig valves aren't supposed to last that long. Certainly not 40 years.
Come to think of it, that really was "some pig" they stuck in me. Like the porcine equivalent of one of those Mercedes or Volvos that some little old lady nursed well past 500,000 miles. The Timex of trotters. (Must've come from Iowa; that'd explain the bizarre affinity I have for the Hawkeye State.)
I should know pretty soon after Friday what's going to happen, but I'm already steeling myself up to say goodbye. This is no casual tour of my
vena cava
, this is recon for a surgical strike. My cardiologist is after that pig like an angry bird. (He's a Kiwi, my cardie, so the bird reference isn't without merit.)
Maybe...just maybe... my piggy valve will check out. Maybe stick a stent up there to open me up, and that'll be enough -- a silk purse from a sow's ear. I can hope. And pray.
But if this is the end, and I'm faced with the inevitable valve replacement surgery, to be followed by a lifelong diet of porcine moderation, I'll take one last wistful trip to Five Guys for a bacon cheeseburger and, in between salty, meaty bites, whisper a heartfelt farewell to my valve's decades of service:
"That'll do, pig. That'll do."
If the media is the eye on the world, Russ Carr is the finger in that eye. Tune in each month to see him dispersing the smoke and smashing the mirrors of modern mass communication. The world lost Russ on 2/7/12,
but he lives on

0:10 What is a rental vacancy?
0:20 Three ways to avoid rental vacancy
Good day everyone Daimien here. Today's blog video is about how to avoid rental vacancy.
What is a rental vacancy? Quite simply, your investment property doesn't have a tenant and when it doesn't have a tenant, who is paying the mortgage? You! So how do we avoid it?
Three (3) ways to avoid rental vacancy:
- Make sure you buy a property that's in demand in the market that has a very small vacancy rate (i.e. a property is always going to be popular).
If you buy a one bedroom, loft apartment with carpeted walls you shouldn't be surprised when it is not in demand and you have a great vacancy. Commercial property also has its weakness, when you got a tenant who's great but often the vacancies are quite large. So you want to buy a property that is in the middle of the market that everyone wants. And that is the first step to making sure you always going to find a tenant easily.
- Make sure that you set your rent $10-$20 cheaper than the market rate.
That may sound that you are throwing money away, but you are not. When you think about it, $10 a week is only $500 a year. $20 a week is only a 1000 but if your tenants leave and go somewhere else because they are getting a better deal, then it is going to cost a week rent immediately. The agent will charge you a letting fee to find you a new tenant and every week that the property is vacant, you are going to lose a week rent. It usually takes a week to swap a tenant over, so straight away you've lost 2 week's rent. If you charge $10 less than the market, the tenant you've got is not going to leave because they have a week rent with you.
- Make sure that your rental manager LOVES YOU!
Send them flowers, a heap of praise for them. Make sure that they think you are the best thing since the sliced bread. Why? Whenever that they have four properties that are vacant and only one tenant is looking for somewhere to rent, if your rental manager loves you, they're going to give that tenant to you. If you get cranky with your rental manager, giving them a hard time they are going to put your property as the lowest priority that is going to cost you dearly.
To summarize, three things: Only have a property that is always in demand, make sure that you set your rent below the market rate, so that you can get consistently occupied property and finally, make sure that your rental manager loves you so that they will always make sure you will always get a tenant, the best tenant and you get them nice and quick.
That's it for me today, if you like it, share it, and tell it to a lot of people about it.

Consider how much worse things could have been at Sandy Hook Elementary School if a teacher had not been clear headed enough to sequester her class in a closet, and if the children had not had the discipline to huddle in silence until danger passed. As author Ellen Rony knows well, disaster preparedness training and regular drills may not prevent bad things from happening, but they save lives and speed the recovery of survivors. This guidebook uses clear writing, delightful line drawings, and real-life scenarios to help parents and school administrators organize an effective emergency preparedness program.
