Is Yuima Nakazato Spring Summer 2019 Haute Couture Collection Really Couture?
Japanese designer Yuima Nakazato's recent Haute Couture Collection is different from most Haute Couture collections in that it's sustainable and doesn't use a sewing machine. How is this possible as couture fashion is all about sewing using luxurious fabrics? Nonetheless, this collection is rightfully couture because of its unique customization system. Let us explain.
Nakazato's concept uses an earth-friendly upcycling process of taking our preexisting clothing and priceless items with experience and memories, and revitalizing it to give new life so it can be worn longer. This upcycling is combined with a new production system called Type-1, a combination of digital fabrication and artisanal techniques in creating clothes without the use of a needle and thread. Rivets, metal or plastic studs are used to piece together laser-cut fabrics from our preloved items to make a one-of-kind garment, with no sewing machine needed.
The collection was demonstrated in a short fashion film about a widowed elderly woman who took her husband's cherished paintings, and reconstructed it into exquisite, meaningful smock dresses. The story opened with the gray-haired woman wearing a collared garment with silver-studded trims around the seams. It highlighted the details of the studding, before moving on to the next look, a pleated collarless smock dress with studded seams and floral art design at the front and back.
Undoubtedly, these dresses now have an extended lifetime and are of great significance to the wearer. Hence, the title of this collection, "Life." Nakazato explains, "If we can wear our own experiences, memories or things we own, maybe we would like to keep the clothes longer." With that said, the answer is yes, this made-to-order customized collection has a purpose and is nothing short of Haute Couture!

Lela Rose Fall Winter 2019 during New York Fashion Week
A Lela Rose presentation is always an event. Not the type of event bogged down by privileged front-row patrons, or one that is a damning reflection on the ills of society. No, a Lela Rose event is there to provide fantasy, whimsy, and a delicious cocktail or two served on demand while the spectacle of her latest collection plays out. Lela Rose, the designer behind the eponymous brand, began her career in fashion in 1996 when, after finishing her work at Parson's School of Design in New York City, she launched the line our of her apartment. Working mostly with private clients for the first five years, Lela Rose garnered popular recognition after she designed the outfits worn by the Bush daughters to the 2001 Presidential inauguration. Soon after, Rose expanded her brand extensively to upscale retailers Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, and can now call Jessica Alba, Selma Blair, and the Olsen twins among famous clientele.
This season, on the same day that the official Westminster Dog Show would later take place elsewhere in the city, Rose's team transformed the space for the presentation into the "Roseminster Dog Show;" there was a white picket fence surrounding beautifully manicured astroturf, event announcers Jenna Bush and Robert Verdi on hand to provide witty and enjoyable commentary, in addition to judges, placards separating the looks into groups, and the final judge, Ms. Rose, herself. These three groups ("Non-Working Group," "Ladies Who Lunch," and "Cocktail Companions") showcase three distinct groups of looks, all of which could fit comfortably in any of these groups. With necklines high and hems low, Rose's silhouettes epitomized modesty and embraced all things feminine in soft, rich textiles. Boxy wool plaid coats, thick cable knit sweaters in caramels and hunter green hues, and an array of bright floral dresses appeared perfectly suited for the event. Delightful details, like a string of pearls along the collar of a red trouser/sweater coordinate, or the dachshund print silk ivory pantsuit, made for a charming collection that was as elegant as it was chic.
And of course, the adorable dogs! As a self proclaimed dog lover, Rose featured some of the most in-demand talent in the industry: Riley Bean, of Instagram fame, was featured alongside professional show dogs and other famous pups. Beagles, Basset Hounds, Brittanys, and a variety of Spaniels, are just a few of the delightful breeds to have "walked" in the show, each complimenting the wide variety of offerings by the designer.

The Ceremony: XULY.Bët x Mimi Prober x Hogan McLaughlin Fall Winter 2018 during New York Fashion Week
Sitting front row at The Ceremony show was Jerzy Dean, J. Alexander, and Whoopi Goldberg which set the tone for how fabulous of a display we were about to see. Debuting their collections at this show were brands XULY.Bët, Mimi Prober and Hogan McLaughlin. Incorporating a unique element of voodoo by using chanting, dancing, singing, drumming and displaying an alter, they drew on inspiration from Haiti and Africa.
XULY.Bët and their designer Lamine Badian Kouyaté used a unique and bold series of prints. Using colors of blue, orange, red and green, he mainly focused on creating well tailored suits for business women or someone wanting an eye grabbing piece. While adding other items like a series of one of a kind outerwear and puffer jackets, XULY.Bët had a one of a kind collection.
Mimi Prober showed us a soft and feminine collection. Using see through lace with various patterns in all of her looks enhanced the models' true beauty. Colors of black, white, soft mint, and a deep pink were chosen in natural earth tones. Luxurious black velvet was used for coats and was accented with lace details.
Hogan McLaughlin used strong and primarily dominate, striking colors of black, gun metal and white. He mainly presented dresses with original cutouts. He gave great attention to details and the shaping of the garments. Frequently using zippers as a detail, this gave the collection an edgy look.

Pam Hogg Autumn Winter 2019 during London Fashion Week
In a spectacular display of provocateur, Pam Hogg delivered another iconic
collection "Venus in Phurr" creating a line representing erotica, provocateur, dominance and sexuality. Playing with elements of BDSM culture and apparel through leather, mesh and whips, the collection was accentuated by Pam Hogg's signature design technique of the unexpected, this year, the use of confident furs.
Contrasting against the dominant garments, the collection also presented elements of compliance and submission, showcased through gentle colored military style suits, combinations of mesh, soft colored furs and delicate details creating an aura of sensual, innocence alongside the provocative garments of the collection. Combining the two concepts, a white leather, silver studded two piece stormed down the runway, featuring studs around the waistline and zipper of the trousers drawing a subtle hint of provocateur to the garment. With intricate studded patterns combined with leather, the notion was further accentuated. Drawing in the contrasting element of compliance, the white leather used for color representation, symbolized purity, the word 'Innocence' was also adorned on the back of the sleeveless, high neck,traditional style cape, sending a clear message to the audience of the secondary conflicting concept behind the collection.
Celebrating the form of contemporary men and women, Pam Hogg's collection subtly celebrates gender and sexuality for all with a collection designed to make any individual feel confident. Destroying any negativity through confident, dancing and strutting models showcasing a powerful collection, a positive message is clearly displayed through the line. Pushing the boundaries of contemporary fashion, Pam Hogg's collection, a celebration of individuality, sexuality and the human body, forced the audience at Freemasons' Hall to their own opinion, be that negative or positive, all attendees left with a reaction to the collection, a trend that seems apparent with Pam Hogg and the powerful impact left on her audience.

Production by PolandÆs Opera Narodowa (Teatr Wielki, Warszawa)
Supported by the Deutsch-Russische Ballettstiftung
Vronsky is at a railway station where there has been an accident. Looking at AnnaÆs dead body, he now understands that his life has lost all meaning.
Act IĀ
Anna Karenina arrives in Moscow to visit her brother SteveÆs family. On the train she meets the Countess Vronskaya, AlexeiÆs mother.Ā
Anna and Vronsky are introduced. By chance they are witnesses to an accident: the train crushes someone to death.Ā
At Prince ShcherbatskyÆs house Levin proposes to Kitty, but she rejects him because she is in love with Vronsky.Ā
At the ball, Anna dances with Vronsky the entire evening, and he is unable to hide his admiration for the young woman. Kitty is in despair: she was expecting Vronsky to propose marriage and give her his heart.Ā
But Vronsky climbs aboard the same train. At Bologoe station, Alexei declares his love to Anna.Ā
At the station in St Petersburg Anna is met by her husband ¢ Alexei Karenin. Seeing her dearly beloved son returns Anna to her normal routine.Ā
At Princess Betsy TverskayaÆs salon, Anna meets Vronsky once again. His advances become increasingly insistent. Anna accepts them.Ā
Karenin is puzzled at AnnaÆs behaviour and asks her not to take any unconsidered steps and not to break the well-known laws of morality which cannot go unpunished, but Anna makes as if she does not understand her husbandÆs warnings.Ā
Anna leaves for St Petersburg. She is troubled by thoughts of Vronsky and departs sooner than she wished solely in order that she does not meet him again.Ā
Left alone, Vronsky thinks of Anna incessantly. In a dream he sees the man crushed at the railway station, and this is followed by a succession of visions in which Anna appears.Ā
Anna comes to see Vronskyģ
Act IIĀ
All of St Petersburg society has assembled at the racecourse in Krasnoe Selo. At the races AnnaÆs eyes remain glued on Vronsky. All of a sudden VronskyÆs horse falls.Ā
Anna cannot control her emotions. She admits that she loves Vronsky to Karenin. Karenin demands that Anna leave the races with him.Ā
Karenin doesnÆt like society gossiping and chattering and insists that outer appearances are kept up.Ā
Anna is seriously ill. On the verge of death she asks her husbandÆs forgiveness and he promises to forget her betrayal. However, on recovering from her illness Anna learns from Betsy Tverskaya that Vronsky tried to commit suicide. She leaves her husband and son and departs for Italy with Vronsky.Ā
Anna misses her son and returns to Russia. She secretly gains admission to KareninÆs house to see Seryozha, but her husband drives her out.Ā
AnnaÆs despair at being separated from her son and the humiliation she feels when she goes to the opera have broken her heart. The social circle in which Vronsky stands is closed to her. Tormented by loneliness and jealousy Anna sees no other solution than killing herself. She throws herself under a train.

What are your favorite songs, albums, or musicians in general with anti-religious messages?
Some of my favorites include "Glory Hallelujah" by Frank Turner and the entire new Quiet Company album "We Are All Where We Belong."
If you disagree with me or if you have a contribution/suggestion, post below!
I'm really looking for some new music powered by freethought! Thanks!

"Wolves" - Jesu (song on my page) Written and performed by a Welsh man that was once deep into Catholicism. Very drone-like and depressing, yet my favourite song ever heard.
"Who are they? Are they a threat to our beliefs?
So we descend upon them just like vengeful wolves
Bitter daylight hangs above us with the rain
What is this that tells me I am right or wrong? - I'm not saying"
"Remember, there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over."
Man, we could sure use Frank right now...
No Sympathy for Fools - Behemoth.
Damn crazy song and band. Very very anti-religious too. Considering they also have songs like Christians to the Lions.
I recommend bad religion, especially the songs Atheist Peace and I want to conquer the world. Also Jesus was a communist by the Reagan Youth, Fuck the pope by anti-flag, and killing in the name of Jesus Bush by the circle jerks.
Jay Brannan, Goddamn
Lots of stuff from Aesop Rock, but in particular Holy Smokes:
Fall of Efrafa
Feed the Children - by Leftover Crack
Religious Vomit - Dead Kennedys
They are very anti religious, amongst other things, one of my favourite bands
Imagine, by John Lennon
I was gonna say Imagine. Its my ringtone when my mum rings.

|Phase 1
I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of nab-paclitaxel (paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation) when given in combination with FHX (5 fluorouracil [fluorouracil], hydroxyurea and twice daily radiation, in good induction responders) and of nab-paclitaxel added to hypofractionated radiotherapy for poor responders.
II. To explore the feasibility of a more rapid palliative chemoradiotherapy approach inpatients with refractory disease as demonstrated by failure to respond to initial chemotherapy.
III. To explore the role of induction chemotherapy as a predictive tool for definitive head and neck cancer management of previously treated patients.
I. Progression-free survival (PFS) (time to disease progression or death from any cause) on both study arms.
II. Overall survival and response rates in both arms.
I. To determine the correlation of secreted protein, acidic, cysteine-rich (SPARC) expression in head and neck cancer and response to therapy.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation.
RE-INDUCTION THERAPY (WEEKS 1-6): Patients receive paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving good response undergo surgical resection and proceed to chemoradiation within 4-6 weeks.
AFHX REGIMEN: Patients achieving response to re-induction therapy receive hydroxyurea orally (PO) every 12 hours for 6 days (11 doses) beginning on day 0, fluorouracil IV continuously over 120 hours beginning on day 0, and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Patients also undergo radiation therapy twice daily (BID) on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 14 days for 5 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
PACLITAXEL + RADIATION (AXX) REGIMEN: Patients not achieving response to re-induction therapy receive paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV and undergo hypofractionated radiation therapy on day 1. Courses repeat every 7 days for 5 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up monthly for 3 months, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 2 years, and then yearly thereafter.

New Car Review
2013 VW Beetle Convertible: First Drive Review
Volkswagen says it's committed to delivering better cars across the board. The brand-new 2013 VW Beetle convertible recently unveiled at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show is lower, longer, wider and more powerful, but did VW really improve on its icon? We had a chance to drive the Beetle Convertible in Malibu, Calif. after the show, to see if VW lived up to its promise.
A Blast From the Past
In an homage to its heritage, VW is offering a choice of three retro-inspired limited-edition trim levels to evoke emotions and memories that recall the glory days of classic VW "Bug" convertibles. There's a black 1950s version with tan interior and 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine, a groovy denim blue '60s version with a two-tone black and blue interior and 2-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, and a toffee brown '70s version with beige interior, also powered by the 5-cylinder. Can you dig it? We can.
Beetle Power
If you're not into Beetles of yesteryear, you can still get your Beetle convertible in one of sixteen different colors with a choice of three different engines: 177 horsepower 2.5-liter 5-cylinder, 200 horsepower 2-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, and 140 horsepower 2-liter TDI turbocharged clean-diesel that can travel up to 594 miles on one tank and get up to 41 mpg on the highway.
We think the diesel version of the Beetle is actually the most fun, but even the base 2.5-liter gas engine is pretty good.
The gas turbo is the most powerful and has a firmer sport suspension to match. This is a smooth, powerful engine that feels like it belongs in a German performance car (and for good reason -- its similar to the turbo engines offered in many Audi models). Both the TDI and Turbo versions have a dash-mounted performance gauge cluster located in the top center of the dash. This is a stark contrast to the dash-mounted flower vase found in the old Beetle convertible.
The drive is also much better than in the past. The ride feels firm and handling is responsive, particularly in turbo models. The car seems to hug the road due to its wider stance and lower profile. There's virtually no cowl shake, where the top of the windshield vibrates with the top down -- something that plagues many other convertibles.
Comfort and Safety
The style of the 2013 Beetle convertible was inspired by the original 1949 Type 1 Beetle, with a flatter roof line and a more upright windshield. Speaking of which, that windshield is attached to a reinforced A-pillar, part of the Automatic Rollover Support System. This system includes two roll-over bars concealed behind the back of the rear seats that are activated within milliseconds by the same computer that deploys the airbags during a crash.
With the top up, outside noise is a non-issue. The cabin remains quiet enough to have a conversation or enjoy the optional Fender audio system, even at low volume. And the power-folding soft-top can be activated in a simple one-step, one button operation that's fast and quiet. Volkswagen says the roof can be fully raised or lowered in approximately 10 seconds, and you can do this while traveling up to 31 mph. The soft top even has a heated rear window. Stow the top, and the mechanism lays flat (flatter than the previous Beetle convertible and even the old Cabrio) to increase rear visibility. Cover it with the matching boot and you get an even more streamlined look.
Bang for the Buck
Plenty of standard amenities come with the base model 2.5-liter model, including 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels; a thick leather-wrapped, flat-bottom steering wheel; cruise control; V-Tex leatherette seating surfaces with heated front seats; heated exterior mirrors; 50/50-split folding rear seats; an eight-speaker sound system with aux input; Bluetooth technology; VW's Media Device Interface with iPod cable; and interior 3-color 4-position ambient lighting. Pricing starts at $24,995.
Of course there are optional upgrades like touch-screen HD radio, Fender premium sound system, navigation, bi-xenon headlights with LED running lights, and more -- including accessories to personalize your Beetle convertible.
Prices top out at $32,295 for a fully-loaded Turbo model with VW's quick-shifting dual-clutch automatic transmission. And, no matter which model you choose, you'll pay a $795 destination charge, as well.
Tougher and Better
The all-new 2013 VW Beetle convertible offers fun in the sun for up to four, but it's also pretty practical, too. And given its sportier look and performance-oriented features, driving enthusiasts of both genders will likely find this new Beetle convertible to be significantly "better." In fact, since the redesign of the coupe, Volkswagen claims that 40% percent of overall buyers have been male.
The previous Beetle convertible may have been cuter, but it was essentially an economy car wrapped in sassy skin. Distinctive bodywork aside, most versions of the previous Beetle weren't even great economy cars.
The 2013 Beetle convertible is the whole package. It looks great on the outside, evokes fond memories of classic Beetles and now feels like a premium German coupe inside. The 2013 VW Beetle truly delivers on Volkswagen's promise to build cars that are simply better.

Hotspot VPN vs Asus Eee PC
Writing about web page http://go.warwick.ac.uk/wireless
I've recently got my hands on an Asus Eee PC 901. I got the version which ships with Linux (Xandros heavily modified by Asus) on it since I'm that way inclined. I found that whilst it is possible to use the pre-loaded software to connect to the University's Hotspot VPN, doing so doesn't result in connection that is actually usable.
The reason for this turns out to be because the default behaviour of the included VPN client is to re-use the IP address that the Hotspot network has assigned to the machine's wireless connection for the VPN connection. The VPN server doesn't like that.
The solution is to tweak the configuration file for the VPN connection so that it uses the IP address assigned by the VPN server. Assuming there's only one VPN connection set up on the machine then the config file is /etc/ppp/peers/vpn1 and the option noipdefault needs to be added as an extra line at the end.
There's various ways to edit the file, arguable the fastest being to tap Ctrl-Alt-T which brings up an xterm window in which you can run
$ sudo kwrite /etc/ppp/peers/vpn1
After which the last few lines of the file should look like:
/home/user> tail -5 /etc/ppp/peers/vpn1
Full connection guide with screenshots and such like can be found here.

The IFF Spring School 2014 will provide a comprehensive introduction to modern concepts, theories and methods enabling the theoretical description of many-electron systems. The hallmark of this year's school is in the concept of discussing density functional theory type ab-initio approaches as well as specializedmany-body techniques for strongly correlated systems emphasizing the new opportunities provided by high-performance computers with advanced architectures. The school links these three aspects to the study of emergent properties of solids and non-equilibrium quantum transport. The guiding principle for the selection of the specialized subjects was their timeliness and the expertise of the scientific institutes involved. The school will start with introductory lectures on the many-electron problem. Basic lectures will introduce the different methodologies but will also bring in cutting edge research in the field. The formulation of realistic model Hamiltonians links density functional theory to the many-body methods. The school will move on to discuss solutions to the many-body problem of model systems, either analytically using renormalization group techniques, or numerically using different computational implementations.

Intracellular calcium concentration is crucial in controlling many aspects of neuronal function including regulation of neurotransmitter release and activation/inactivation of various genes and enzymes. One of the main sources of increasing calcium concentration is by influx through calcium channels that open in response to changes in voltage (voltage dependent calcium channels). Thus, modulation of calcium channels is a prime mechanism by which neurotransmitters can regulate neuronal function. The main interest in my laboratory is in the modulation of these channels. More specifically, the current research program is investigating the mechanisms and functional significance of GABAB receptor modulation of voltage dependent calcium channels in the hippocampal brain region. GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain. Pharmaceutical compounds that interact with receptors for GABA such as barbiturates and valium, are routinely prescribed for anxiety, epilepsy, insomnia, etc. Unfortunately, these types of pharmaceutical compounds interact with most inhibitory synapses making side effects, such as drowsiness, fatigue, mental slowing, and double vision common. By increasing our understanding of the specific effects of GABA, it will be possible to design better pharmaceutical agents for a particular disorder.
Studies in our laboratory have demonstrated that GABA attenuates N-type calcium current (CaV2.2) and facilitates L-type calcium current (CaV1.2, and/or 1.3) by activation of GABABreceptors in the early neonatal period in the superior region of rat hippocampus. The facilitation of L-type current is a novel finding not previously demonstrated in the mammalian central nervous system and this effect peaks in the first postnatal week. This facilitation coincides with the developmental up-regulation of K+Cl- co-transporter (KCC2) expression in hippocampal neurons. We have demonstrated that this increase in KCC2 expression is dependent on influx of calcium through L-type channels giving support for a role of L-type calcium channels in regulating gene expression during development. We have been investigating the different components of the signaling pathway leading to the enhancement of l-type current. The enhancement of L-type calcium current in neonatal hippocampus requires activation of protein kinase C and not calmodulin-calcium dependent kinase II. Immunocytochemical experiments have determined that PKCα is translocated to the membrane by GABAB receptor activation. Neurons that have their Gq type of G-protein knocked down with morpholinos in culture no longer demonstrate the enhancement of L-type current with GABAB receptor activation. A combination of whole cell patch clamp recording and ratiometric calcium imaging in acutely dissociated hippocampal neurons is being utilized to isolate various components of the pathway pharmacologically or through knockdown experiments. Western blot analysis and confocal imaging has been utilized to study the developmental expression of the L-type calcium channel isoforms and co-localization of the channels with GABAB receptors.

Juniper Security: Eyes on the EnterpriseBy Baselinemag | Posted 2004-10-01 Print
Juniper Networks made a big move into network security by buying firewall appliance vendor NetScreen for $3.4 billion. But the deal doesn't ensure overnight success.
After years of sticking to high-speed networking gear for service providers, Juniper flung open the door to the enterprise this year with its $3.4 billion acquisition of network security vendor NetScreena grab for real estate in a market dominated by archrival Cisco.
But some NetScreen customers say the Juniper strategy isn't a slam-dunk. Doug Torre, director of networking and technical services at Catholic Health System in Buffalo, N.Y., says Juniper's acquisition of NetScreen was "a very shrewd move" because security is a high-growth market, but he adds that "it's a tough transition to go into the enterprise space when you have been used to dealing with [telecommunications] carriers ... It remains to be seen how successful they will be."
Kittu Kolluri, general manager of Juniper's security products group, concedes the company has "marketing challenges" to "reintroduce Juniper as a security vendor." But NetScreen, founded in 1997, brings with it a customer base impressed with the speed, small size and manageability of its products.
Four years ago Stephens Media Group, a Las Vegas-based publishing company, installed two NetScreen firewall appliances and found them much simpler to manage than the Nokia firewall appliances (running Check Point software) it had previously maintained. The Nokia units required constant patching of the operating system, says Steve Olson, the company's infrastructure services manager. "NetScreen was one of the first companies offering this kind of simplicity in a very small form-factor," he says. Olson adds that NetScreen has been "very responsive" in soliciting feedback on recommendations for their firewalls.
Commerce Bank, a 340-branch financial services firm based in Kansas City, Mo., replaced three HP-UX servers running a firewall from Network Associates (which has since renamed itself McAfee) with two NetScreen-500 appliances that cost less per unit than the previous servers and take up one-fourth the rack space. And whereas the previous firewalls were "running out of gas," operating at their maximum capacity, the NetScreen appliances handle an average of 20 megabits per second of throughput running at just 10% capacity, says Mark E. Price, security analyst at the bank.
Price adds that his group didn't need to reboot the NetScreen appliances for about a year afterward, and only then when the devices' code was upgraded: "An appliance just makes life simpler."

U.S. Army Research Laboratory employees were recently recognized by the Baltimore Federal Executive Board at the 46th Excellence in Federal Career Awards luncheon and ceremony held on May 3 at Martin's West in Baltimore.
The awards program was held in conjunction with Public Service Recognition Week and was attended by nearly 600 federal officials, employees, military service members, family members and guests from agencies throughout Maryland.
Among the attendees were representatives who spoke on behalf of Maryland senators Barbara A. Mikulski and Benjamin L. Cardin, who presented letters of recognition to the Gold and Silver award winners.
Overall, 381 Maryland federal employees, project teams and military service members were presented with Gold, Silver and Bronze awards for excellence in job performance during 2012.
Five Silver awards and four Bronze awards were presented to ARL employees and teams.
Dr. Betsy Rice, ARL Fellow, won a Silver award for Outstanding Professional (Non- Supervisory) for Technical, Scientific and Program Support.
"While very grateful for receiving the award, I am more thankful for the reasons behind my professional achievements at the lab: Supportive and encouraging supervisors, incredibly talented, smart and personable colleagues, and a core program that allows me to do basic research in very interesting and challenging problems that are not addressed anywhere else. This laboratory has been very good to me, and I am thankful," said Rice.
Larry Burton of ARL's Weapons and Materials Research Directorate, who won a Silver Award for Outstanding Professional (Non-Supervisory) for Administrative, Management and Support, said he was honored to even be nominated by ARL for the award as there are so many people within the organization worthy of recognition.
"The fact that I received a Silver award is a true reflection of the quality of the support services across ARL," said Burton.
"As WMRD's associate director for operations, I rely heavily on administrative personnel and specialists associated with facilities, safety, security, logistics and IT. This includes people within WMRD, Laboratory Operations and the Corporate Information Office that do a lot of the heavy lifting in getting things accomplished that reflect positively on me," noted Burton.
Burton said that in an environment where U.S. Army Installation Management Command and U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command resources are dwindling, the load carried by these ARL support services continues to grow and he is thankful for all that they do to allow him to be successful.
Donald Little, WMRD, who won a Silver Award for Outstanding Para-Professional (Non-Supervisory) for Technical, Scientific and Program Support (Individual) was surprised to be considered and nominated for the award and said that it was truly an honor.
"The work I do and have done my entire career supports creating the best possible protection for our Soldiers that put themselves in harm's way to protect the freedoms I enjoy. I find what I do rewarding and when you look at it this way how can you not strive for excellence," said Little.
"The award was presented as an individual achievement but honestly it was anything but, my career achievements are a direct result of the excellent team of people that surround me, I consider it a team achievement. I am surrounded by some of the brightest, sharpest people you can imagine, and being in close proximity to and working with this caliber of hard working, dedicated people daily is very rewarding and truly inspires me to do my very best," Little said.
Glenda Hammell, who is part of the WMRD administrative team that won a Silver award for Outstanding Administrative Work Group or Team, said that for the team to receive an award of this stature comes as a great honor.
"The Weapons and Materials Research Directorate's administrative staff's goal is to have a top level team working for our managers, and in these constantly changing times, good communication is paramount," said Hammell.
"By meeting and discussing new ways to improve our day-to-day processes for our administrative procedures, as well as ensuring a good foundation of understanding of these, it will enable us to work more efficiently. This is especially true for those who are new to the Army, RDECOM, ARL and the directorate," added Hammell.

I keep seeing the Zafara because I check the recently-uploaded images automatically each day, and the eyes are beginning to bug me. It's like a mascot - permanent fixed grin but the eyes are like "help, I'm trapped in a statue!"

Charmed to meet everyone.
PS I think DV's forum is being spammed. >_>0
Hey! Welcome to the forum Enjoy your stay here ^^ But be careful of the General Discussion.. a lot of spammers keep making there way here so don't click on any suspicious link... it's driving me crazy~ I need to fix this spammer problem this summer when I've got time to look further into the issue. As for now I dunno how to stop registration or clean out the memberlist without having to delete one member at a time... ~____~_________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!
Thanks for the welcome.
I dunno how this works, but as far as I know all forumboard services like phpBB do have a way for maintaiers to make the forums private and accessible only upon log-in. That way, no one can read posts and just join, which should minimize the number of lazy spammers trying to get in. Good luck!
Yeah, I have that function enabled but still I've got this thousand spammers... did they all register or is it some kind of auto-registration they're implementing? ARGH! So frustrating! Today there was at least 10 porn posts *grrr* This forum is turning into a mess, which I really need to clean up. What I want is to disable registration and sort through the members list properly, weeding out these damn spammers... but I can't find any such function in the adminstration panel ~____~ Maybe I need to install some plug-in? Gotta research further..._________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!

Different forums/sites work differently. Imo, some places are just harder for bots n stuff to get in and post. idk if this is true but I find that invasionfrees are less likely to get spammers n bots than some other (hosting/) sites._________________

Why Is Diablo 3 An Online Mode?
As we all know, D3
Diablo 3 Gold
diablo 3 gold
has cancelled the console mode. Diablo player can only play it online. This change leads to complaints. Players have no choice but accept the change. Why they make such changes? The CDO of Diablo, Jay Wilson, clarified the reason in interview.
What if players can not connect stable network? Wilson says players need to promote their network. It is network era now. Even in hotel, there is nine WIFI that can be used. The wifi is available to others. U just need to spend a small amount of money, then u can use them and enjoy the network. So Wilson denies the possibility of non-network.
Why doesnt D3 support console game? If console games are applied, some players will choose to play offline game. With this mode, players dont cooperate with others, and deal or exchange with others. They are just playing games by themselves. But the core of D3 is the transaction. So they make D3 an online game. If players dont play it online, they are not playing D3 truly. So why doesnt D3 support console game? Because it is best to play D3. Online game is the best experience.
What if blizzard
wow gold
can not please all the players? Wilson says they have to choose what they want. Sometimes their decisions make some players unhappy, but they have no choice. They think they have made a right decision. So they just insist on. In order to produce a more interesting game, they have to do what they want. U can never give up the forests in order to get a tree. What they have done can not satisfy every player. Some dislike the barbarians. Can they give up the class just because of some players dislike? Some dislike online games; can they abandon it just because of some players satisfaction?
Online game
Diablo 3 Items
prevents cheat. If they apply offline mode, data cannot be put in the server. We have to offer players servers so that they can work the program independently. That is why D2 is easy to be cracked. And cheat, dupe is common in game. They should prevent this from happening again in order to keep the game interesting.
We respect blizzards decision and are waiting for its issue.
This means that IM still can not. I can say that the JAP simply not so polite, I pick up from the animation. But it is not real-time, in my statement, I think the first._________________

Northwest Florida's Gulf Coast: Abundant Wildlife and Unspoiled Beauty
By Wendy Hammerle
The tour boat motored slowly upriver, past alligators lazing in the warm Florida sunshine, past heron, osprey and black vulture and past manatees rolling in a sleepy underwater ballet. But this was not a Wild Kingdom theme park ride. These were real animals in their natural habitat. This was the Florida that most people don't know exists.
Strange and Mysterious Water
Our quest to find the other, quieter, unspoiled Florida took us to the northwest part of the state along the Gulf coast. Our first stop was Wakulla Springs State Park, a 6,000 acre treasure trove of flora and fauna about 30 minutes south of Tallahassee.
The park's claim to fame is its freshwater spring, one of the largest and deepest in the world. Divers exploring caverns more than 300 feet below have found skeletons of three mastodons, an armadillo and a saber tooth cat.
Swimming in the 70-degree spring water is allowed but if that isn't to your liking, you can explore some of the nature trails that crisscross the park or grab a fried grouper sandwich and some sweet tea at the beautiful old park lodge.
But don't leave without taking the 40-minute cruise up the spring-fed river. The boat, captained by a park ranger, will allow you to get up close and personal with all kinds of wildlife. We rode in a regular boat but if you're lucky and the water is really clear, they bring out the glass-bottomed boats.
Our cameras clicked as Great Blue Herons and Ibis munched on crawfish along the grassy shore. The majestic Anhinga - also called snake birds because of their long serpentine necks - stood spread eagled, warming themselves in the sunshine.
Farther along, the boat drifted over the deep spring and we could see five-foot long nosed gar swimming below. These odd pre-historic looking fish may be part of the reason that the Indians named the spring Wakulla which means "strange and mysterious water."
The landscape along the river is mysteriously beautiful with rose-colored wild asters hanging from the exposed roots of the bald Cyprus. Two Tarzan movies were filmed here; the directors, no doubt, were drawn to this area for the same reason we were - the abundance of wildlife in its natural habitat.
The park gets quite busy in the summer, but on the October weekday we visited, the weather was perfect, there were no bugs, and we practically had the place to ourselves.
The park entrance fee is $4 per car. Boat rides are $6, $4 for kids. Open 365 days a year.
Oyster Heaven
From Wakulla, we headed west on route 98 and stopped in Apalachicola, an old trading post that has retained its quiet charm. It's also oyster heaven as more than 90 percent of Florida's oysters are harvested from Apalachicola Bay. You'll find them on every menu, prepared every way possible.
Farther west, in Port St. Joe, we stopped for our first night's lodging in a rental loft at WindMark Beach, a planned beachfront community built by The St. Joe Company.
The words developer and environmental stewardship aren't often used in the same sentence but St. Joe says it has made a concerted effort to build resort and residential communities while preserving the natural surroundings.
At WindMark, rainwater is collected in an underground vault and used for landscaping. The development also uses outdoor lights with special wave lengths so that sea loggerhead and leatherback turtles are able to follow the moon's reflection on the water.
According to Steve Shea, one of the three wildlife biologists on staff, St. Joe relocated several tiny Choctawhatchee beach mice to protected dunes at WaterSound Beach.
"We've also moved gopher tortoise burrows and established new clusters of the endangered red cockaded woodpecker in an effort to protect these endangered species."
Kayaker's Paradise
To get a closer look at the wildlife, we hopped into kayaks and headed up Huckleberry Creek in the Box-R Wildlife Management Area. This is a kayaker's paradise with thousands of acres of protected flood plain swamps, tidal marshes and creeks to explore.
It was exceptionally peaceful as we paddled under Cyprus dripping with Spanish moss, past Cabbage Palm and Tupelo trees. The Tupelos house bee hives that yield the distinctive Tupelo honey, a local delicacy.
The only signs of civilization were a few fishing lines that had been draped over low hanging branches by locals hoping to snag a few catfish.
I kept one eye on the brackish water, which is a habitat for alligators, otters and snakes. (You don't want to roll your kayak in this water!)
Where the creek dumps out to the East River, bald eagles watched us from nearby branches before zooming off in search of their next meal. We also spotted deer, which along with wild turkey and feral hogs live in the pine uplands - all part of a huge ecosystem critical to keeping the Apalachicola Bay healthy.
The Big One Got Away
Northwest Florida also has some prime fishing spots, so we hit the road again, heading west through Panama City (of spring break fame) to Crooked Creek in the West Bay Preservation Area.
This shallow waterway, which empties into West Bay, is home to sharks, rays, redfish and croakers. We only caught a few little guys, but it didn't really matter. We just sat back and enjoyed the quiet, unspoiled beauty, watching Monarch butterflies flutter over the bay before their 24-hour journey over the Gulf of Mexico.
It was easy to see why this area is part of the largest coastal conservation project in the Southeast.
Our final stop was the WaterColor Inn, in Santa Rosa Beach. The inn is part of a 500-acre beachfront community, also developed by The St. Joe Company.
We explored the area on bikes and then tried a new craze called Yolo boarding. It requires standing up on an oversized surf board and then paddling. Having never surfed, I expected to end up in the drink but surprisingly managed to get up and stay up. (Full disclosure - we stayed in calm waters!)
If you visit, you should take some time to enjoy the beach, where the white quartz sand actually squeaks when you walk on it. Or visit one of the area's rare coastal dune lakes.
Thousands of years old, these lakes are separated from the gulf by dune systems up to 30 feet high. The salinity of the water changes constantly, attracting diverse marine life and providing fresh water for migrating birds.
From the dune lakes to the swamps to the deep springs, I came away from this trip with a whole new view of Florida. Its most famous citizen may be Mickey Mouse but if, like me, you find the endangered beach mouse more interesting, try Northwest Florida's Gulf Coast on for size.
Where to eat:
School of Fish, Port St. Joe (850-229-1122) - The corn and shrimp chowder with Andouille sausage was out of this world as was the grilled gulf shrimp with fresh mango sauce and lime served over island rice.
Boss Oyster, Apalachicola - oysters, the local specialty, are served at least 20 different ways - our favorite: flamed broiled with spinach, smoked bacon, tomatoes and smoked Gouda.
Fish Out of Water, Santa Rosa Beach (located in the Watercolor Inn) - the "Bricked" Amish Chicken was outstanding.
Picolo's - The Red Bar, Santa Rosa Beach - live music, funky decor, local seafood.
Where to stay:
WaterColor Inn, Santa Rosa Beach

Ebbs and Flows
My blog has been like the ocean. It comes and goes....and for a while it has been left at bay. It hasn't be intentional per say, but I just haven't taken the time. I want to document my life, not only for myself, but for my kids. It makes me sad to know that I haven't visited here in almost a year. I hope I am ready to come back to the shore.

Last night, the "News Hour with Jim Lehrer" on PBS ran a wonderful segment on the changing demand for news and how the industry is responding. Ironically, the News Hour's own website is a great example of how old news outlets can adapt to the changing times. Not only can the complete transcript and video of the show be found there, but the site also includes links to many of the organizations and technologies mentioned in the report.
The report noted that media organizations are being forced to make radical changes to their operations to cope with the increasing customization and specialization that viewers and listeners demand today. I really enjoyed the comments of Kinsey Wilson, the vice president and editor-in-chief of usatoday.com. Wilson said:
The audience is beginning to interact with news. We've gone from a world in which news organizations had either monopolistic control of certain markets or because of barriers to entry, fairly exclusive control over certain aspects of media, and consumers gravitated towards a few favored sources of news to a world in which there's saturation news. We no longer have exclusive control of the printing press.
Indeed, just as Ithiel de Sola Pool predicted would be the case 20 years ago, new "Technologies of Freedom" have empowered average citizens in ways previous unimaginable and liberated us from the tyranny of scarcity. As I point out in my new book Media Myths: Making Sense of the Debate over Media Ownership, far from living in a world of information scarcity, today we live in a world of information abundance in which citizens struggle to cope with all the choices at their disposal. In this environment, the only thing that is in scarce supply is human attention. As Nobel Prize winning economist and psychologist Herbert A. Simon noted in a 1971 essay, "What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it."
New media and communications technologies have created a "poverty of attention" problem that Simon probably could have never imagined. In our information-saturated, on-demand, on-the-go world, media multitasking has become a required skill needed to cope with all these choices. Indeed, whether is television, radio, newspapers, websites, or blogs, in this new western frontier, I'm increasingly finding that I need a variety of filters, portals and sorting mechanisms to keep track of everything and prioritize the media that most deserve my attention. (Thank God for TiVos, Google, and Bloglines!) I suspect that all of you reading this suffer from this same "problem," if we can really call it that. After all, having all this information at our collective disposal is a truly wonderful thing compared to the world we use to live in. But sorting through all this information efficiently is vital if we hope to consume as much of it as possible.
Now, think about the poor news organizations who are being forced to adapt to these new realities or face potential extinction. As last night's News Hour report made clear, America's oldest news outlets--newspapers--are really struggling to remain relevant. They are employing innovative techniques and solutions to keep up with all these disruptive technological changes, but it remains to be seen if they can stem the tide. The generational demographics work against them with most youngsters opting for newer forms of media. Worse yet, their old business model continues to hurt their chances since the sunk costs associated with newspaper production are so steep. Scholars have found that 98 percent of cities only have a single daily newspaper because the fixed costs associated with producing the very first copy of the paper can run as high 40 to 45 percent of the total cost of operating the paper. Fixed costs of that magnitude could be an absolute kiss of death in a world of 10 million blogs, where millions of average of citizens can report on the world around them without having own a printing press or spend more than a few bucks to put the site together.
Regardless of what the media critics say, the world really has changed in amazing ways. Hell, even PBS says so!
