Financial problems on 'Waterworld' and 'Dark Territory'
By land or by sea, action pics bring nothing but trouble
At first blush it's hard to imagine Kevin Costner and Steven Seagal having much in common. Costner is one of Hollywood's favorite sons whose life, until recently, appeared seamless. Seagal is a blunt-edged, blue-collar star known for his tumultuous personal life and rough-hewn manner. So it's somewhat ironic to see that both Costner and Seagal have worked themselves into similar situations: under siege, with no way out.
The actors are finishing work on high-profile action movies of which they are both producer and star: Costner's postapocalyptic thriller Waterworld; Seagal's Under Siege sequel Dark Territory. Both films have suffered production delays, cost overruns, and tawdry gossip-column tidbits that have forced their stars and studios into defensive postures. "Like O.J.," says David Weitzner, a spokesman for Waterworld's Universal, "we're tired of being tried in the media." How did these heroes end up on the hot seat?
Even before shooting began on Dark Territory, Seagal insisted on his "I'm in charge" authority. First, producer Jon Peters left because of "creative differences." Then Gary Busey, hired by Peters to reprise his Under Siege role (his death in the first film notwithstanding) was forced out; Seagal didn't buy Busey's reincarnation. Finally, during preproduction, Warner Bros. considered replacing director Geoff Murphy (Young Guns II) with Peter MacDonald (Rambo III) — but Seagal showed them who's boss.
Similarly, Waterworld suffered a time delay at the outset as Costner insisted on perfecting the script. The actor had Speed's Joss Whedon brought to the Hawaiian set to punch up the screenplay, a job made difficult by Costner's ever-expansive ideas. According to one production source, Costner would tell Whedon, "Let's put in this, let's put in this." And, according to The Wall Street Journal, Costner also nixed the studio's choice for director — Gump's Robert Zemeckis — in favor of longtime friend Kevin Reynolds (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves). Universal denies Zemeckis' involvement.
The cast and crew of Territory had to stop mid-shoot when snow blanketed their Colorado location and forced the production to head for warmer climes. But even before the snow, the crew had been pressed into service as firemen when a train they were filming threw off sparks and ignited a 200-acre grassland blaze near Boulder.
By contrast, fire was the least of Waterworld's problems. The logistical difficulties of shooting on floating sets, combined with all manner of bad weather (winds, rainstorms, hurricanes), turned its shooting schedule into a five-month ordeal. And once the production had finished in Hawaii and shooting had moved to suburban L.A., filming was immediately drowned out by January's torrential rains. "The rain is killing us," moaned one Waterworld insider, all too aware of the irony of the situation.
The production delays only served to jack up both films' already hefty budgets. Sources say that Territory began with an initial budget of $47 million, but is now closer to $55 million. Of course, such numbers pale in comparison to Waterworld's alleged $160 million price tag, although most of the budget overruns (its initial cost was reportedly $100 million) can be blamed on the weather and the problems of shooting on water.
To make matters worse, Universal can't even cap the red inkwell yet. Just as a crew was ready to film additional scenes in Hawaii, the production's 40-foot-high main set sank in rough waters. At press time, salvage specialists had been hastily dispatched to investigate.

I know that I NEED to write creatively every day, not only to hone my talent and become even more acquainted with the craft, but because I want to. A friend of mine, who is a musician and an artist, embarked on a year long art project in which she completed a project following different guidelines every day for a year.
My friend's name is Melanie Wagner, and you should check out her art project – everything is posted on Facebook (talk about being inspired!).
Thus, I am going to start tomorrow, finding daily prompts and completing a piece every single day. I urge you to do the same, and to share your projects via the comments section, or Facebook, or e-mail.
Tonight, I'd like to leave you with this:

Broadway in Real Life
If you're missing Broadway due to the stagehands strike, get thee to the multiplex to see Dan in Real Life, co-written and directed by off Broadway veteran Peter Hedges. Hedges will always have a gold star affixed to his name for penning What's Eating Gilbert Grape, but the homey quality that draws people to this one is precisely the thing that repels me. A family that gets together to play competitive board games, have singalongs, and play charades? I love my family, at the holidays as much as any time, but, ugh, a true nightmare scenario for Bob in real life, include me out. (Hedges' more astringent indie take on get-togetherness, Pieces of April is more my speed.)
Selling the illusion of familial warmth and good cheer is, however, a supporting cast of stage veterans, exported to Rhode Island for the shoot. I think onscreen brothers Steve Carell (lightly charming but at the outermost region of his TV-bred talent, I suspect, as the widower Dan; his Hamlet we need not see) and Dane Cook are the only two adult castmembers without any stage experience, though Cook does hustle the crowds at comedy clubs. As their parents, Hedges has cast board treaders Dianne Wiest and John Mahoney, in full twinkle mode; as they woman they're both drawn to, the appealing but as always somewhat inscrutable Juliette Binoche, seen in the Roundabout revival of Betrayal a few seasons back. Alison Pill, currently co-starring in the still-running Mauritius, plays Dan's eldest daughter. Dan's siblings and in-laws are a clutch of Tony nominees and Tony winners: Amy Ryan, Norbert Leo Butz, Frank Wood, and the get-there-someday Jessica Hecht. (I'd pencil in their character names, but Hedges have given them little to do.) The recurring role of a taciturn comic cop is played by Light in the Piazza star Matthew Morrison.
So, not my kind of movie, though it was nice to see them. Better to see them in their natural habitat, however. As it is, the openings of The Seafarer and The Farnsworth Invention will have to be rejiggered, and as with the excellent Rock 'n' Roll, which I saw on Friday before helter-skelter came down, I suspect the UK-imported cast of the former is getting antsy. I don't know how it would conflict with the Hollywood writer's strike, but maybe Hedges has a trunk script they could all film to pass the time.

Are You Oblivious, Aware, or Getting It?
This is a guest post from my friend, Andy Feld.
As I travel and meet new people all over our country, it seems most everyone falls into one of the three areas mentioned in this month's title. What am I talking about? It's the societal evolutionary change which is now in progress, although admittedly sometimes imperceptible. It is easy to see that violence rarely leads to anything but more violence. Overt materialism, absent integrity, brings happiness and abundance to very few. Additionally, centuries of male dominated insensitive energy added to a populace unwilling to take responsibility has us at a precarious tipping point.
So, do you sense what I say is true? Are you oblivious to these changes in the air, or are you ahead of the curve and already taking the steps necessary to not only survive, but thrive in the years to come? Frankly, I am often greeted by individuals with long faces who tell me they will be happy again when things get back to 'normal'. Normal for many means simply getting back to a life dominated by financial gain and the purchase of new things, but those days may be long gone. Banks are not lending money, our population is increasingly unemployed or aging and dependent, houses are not selling, there seems to be an oversupply of everything and worldwide competition is greater than ever. What if today is the way things will be for the next 20-30 years or longer? What are you going to do to be happy, prosperous, and emotionally abundant?
Make no mistake, everything is changing and just about everyone is affected. Personally, my income does not approach what I once earned as a corporate CEO, my car is not as new and shiny as it once may have been, and I visit fewer restaurants, but my life has never been more pleasant. Would you agree that now is the time to not only re-evaluate, but also re-create our lives? If so, you are GETTING IT loud and clear, but if not, let's look into what we can do about it.
1. We are all One, connected with a common thread of spirit. When I say WE, I mean ALL humans, animals, plant life, earth, and stars. We all are of the same source energy, and understanding and respecting this Oneness is a key to thriving in our new age. Allowing all else to be, with love and respect, and without judgment of unique individual differences will open our portals to Universal Light. One cannot mistreat another human, the earth, our vegetation, and the animals without also mistreating oneself. We are all connected and what we put forth to others is what will always come back to us.
2. Listen to our heart, our Inner Radar as I call it in my books, without the fear of judgment from others. We are all unique and different, and learning to reach within and hear that guidance we all individually brought forth to this lifetime allows us to grow and prosper in alignment with our life's purpose. There is no better way to accomplish this than a regular practice of meditation and contemplation.
3. Understanding the process for manifesting our life's dreams. It takes quite a bit of practice and self-discipline, and you may be getting tired of hearing me speak about it, but we are the product of our thoughts, emotions, words, and actions. Very little we desire will manifest without the alignment of these four elements. Believe in this, practice and have faith and you will embrace your life like never before.
4. Learn to appreciate all that you have. From hot running water, to clothes in your closet, and food in the refrigerator, most of us have so much to be thankful for yet rarely acknowledge. The beauty of nature, our relationships, our health and the list should go on and on. Write it down and truly rejoice in how many ways you are blessed.
5. Diligently work on balancing your male and female attributes. We are all a combination of both masculine and feminine, and the more we keep these two in balance the more we vibrate with the earth.
Yes, everything is changing. First, become aware and then jump on board, but it will always be the choice of the individual. No one, other than you is responsible for your rescue.
Whether it is a business, an organization, or individual, the time for changing the status quo in right now. How to go about it in this new environment is what I speak about and teach. I would love the opportunity to work with you or your group.
With much love and appreciation,
Andy lives in Morrison, Colorado outside Denver. He travels the country as a frequent speaker on life inspiration and business sales. He is also a regular guest on radio programs across the United States and on local TV.

STARTUP: At this time in your life, what do you consider to be the most important concern to bring before the Lord in prayer?
1. Jesus speaks in verse 1 of the "time" or "hour" that now has come. In His own mind, what does that mean?
2. What exactly is the "work" Jesus speaks of in verse 4, and how did He bring glory to God through it?
3. How many times is the word world used in this chapter? Does it appear to have the same meaning in each instance? If not, what different meanings does it have?
4. Together, list aloud all the actual requests which Jesus makes in this prayer. Taking them as a group, what do they reveal about the deepest concerns Jesus has?
5. Jesus begins praying in verse 20 for those who will believe in Him through the "word" or "message" of His disciples. What is this word?
6. What one-word adjectives would you use to best describe Jesus as you see Him in this chapter?
7. Think again of the statement about Jesus in John 1:18. From what you see in chapter 17, what is God like?
8. EYE FOR DETAIL—From what you recall seeing in this chapter, try answering the following question without looking at your Bible: In His prayer in this chapter, what names does Jesus use to address God? (See verses 1,11, and 25.)
9. From what you see in this prayer of Jesus, which one of the following words do you think best describes what the world is like: a prison; a mountain; a battleground or a trail?
10. From what you know of Jesus, with what emotion do you think He spoke the words in verse 5?
11. If you expected to live only a few more weeks, which verses in this chapter do you think would be the most significant to you?
12. If you had only this chapter in Scripture to refer to, how would you use it to help show someone that Jesus is truly God?
13. What would make it possible for you to say to God at the end of your life what Jesus says in verse 4?
14. In verses 14 and 22, look at what Jesus said He had given to His disciples. In what ways has He also given these things to us today?
15. What principles of prayer can you draw from this chapter that might help us pray more powerfully and more often?
16. Think again of Phil 4:8, where we're given this command: "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy— think about such things. " What food for thought can you find in this chapter that especially strikes you as being true, or noble, or right, or pure, or lovely, or admirable, or excellent, or praiseworthy?
Notice again the prominence of the word world in this chapter. John uses this word far more often than any other New Testament writer. Look carefully at how it is used in each of the following verses in John, then discuss in what ways and to what degree the Lord wants us to "think big" about the whole world — 1:10; 3:17; 8:23; 12:31; 15:19; 16:28, and 16:33.

I love to work with Argentics. Really responsive, quick mockups, professional and fast quality work. Will definetely work with them again. The models were perfectly suiting our needs, and when we needed modifications, the were very quick at doing them.
These guys are good. Really good. We even got some free textures, just because they liked the work they had to do. If you need 3D artists who are easy and reliable to work with and can think independently, Argentics is the way to go. 🙂
Excellent! These guys created character art & animation for our cyberpunk mobile game. I highly recommend them.
Argentics did an excellent job and delivered on time! I was surprised with how professional and dedicated to the project they were. The assets were all high quality and amazingly done. I would definitely 100% recommend Argentics to anyone who wants to have a great and quality design and programming job done!
Argentics created an amazing VR game for us in Unity. They hit every milestone on a tight timeline and exceeded expectations with the quality of work, creativity and communication. Highly recommend. I look forward to our next project together.
We hired Argentics for a template design for our game platform and we love the design. The quality of work is great. The only issue was time to completion which I feel took much too long for a template design. Other than that, I would recommend Argentics for graphic design work.

Happy new year – and a new video
Happy new year from the project – it will be a few weeks before we get going with speakers (https://beyondspacetime.net/about/space-and-time-after-quantum-gravity/speakers/), but we will be publishing some new videos: to start off, a lecture that I gave at the University of Washington in the Fall on the emergence of space in string theory, now in our BST-POP playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq493MUD7qI&list=PLVzK6UpZmNq1yq5BMz8Cszg5jEAC3-lY8&index=11&t=10s. Enjoy.
de Haro speaks at UIC
Please join us for an essay prize winning talk at UIC on Wednesday – 1430 of University Hall, at 11.15am (or via Skype in Geneva): full details above.
• Wednesday 14 November 2018 at UIC – Sebastian de Haro (Amsterdam): On Theoretical Equivalence and Duality
Abstract: Theoretical equivalence and duality are two closely related notions: but their interconnection has so far not been well understood. In this paper I explicate the contribution of a recent schema for duality to discussions of theoretical equivalence and physical equivalence. I argue that duality suggests a construal of theoretical equivalence for the physical sciences. The construal is in terms of the isomorphism of models, as defined by the Schema. I illustrate the construal in various formulations of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, and in electric-magnetic duality. In terms of technical difficulty, this talk rates 3/5
Interest Lunch at PSA
If you are going to be in Seattle for the PSA this week, please come by the quantum gravity lunch that we have organized on Saturday 12-12.50pm, at the Yard House pub. Not a free lunch I'm afraid, but good conversation I hope: hosted by Nick Huggett, Nic Teh, Richard Dawid, Sebastian De Haro, and James Read. See you there!
Huggett talk at the University of Washington
David Wallace Talk This Week
Wednesday 17 October 2018 at UIC – David Wallace (Southern California): Why black hole information loss is paradoxical
Abstract: I distinguish between two versions of the black hole information-loss paradox. The first arises from apparent failure of unitarity on the space- time of a completely evaporating black hole, which appears to be non- globally-hyperbolic; this is the most commonly discussed version of the paradox in the foundational and semi-popular literature, and the case for calling it 'paradoxical' is less than compelling. But the second arises from a clash between a fully-statistical-mechanical interpretation of black hole evaporation and the quantum-field-theoretic description used in derivations of the Hawking effect. This version of the paradox arises long before a black hole completely evaporates, seems to be the version that has played a central role in quantum gravity, and is genuinely paradoxical. After explicating the paradox, I discuss the implications of more recent work on AdS/CFT duality and on the 'Firewall paradox', and conclude that the paradox is if anything now sharper. The article is written at a (relatively) introductory level and does not assume advanced knowledge of quantum gravity.

I also stitched the first block for Kathleen Tracy's mystery quilt which she is presenting in her Facebook group. A free design. The mystery quilt is meant to be of the scrappy variety can be done with a more select group of fabrics if a person so desires. I am going scrappy.
Stop back again soon to see what I am working on. I have many projects in the works.

Last month we took little tour up north and Star Books was our second stop and Jody (I'm hoping I remember your name right but now I'm second guessing myself) greeted us with a nice smile and lots of help and suggestions.
I didn't get many photos but this shop is definitely worth visiting. Shelves are neat and there are quite a few of them- the last picture only shows bout 1/3rd of their store front. They've got these magnificent cards to help customers find new authors they might like. I'm looking forward to visiting them again in the future!

The tournament kicks off on Friday and will be streamed live on the Infinity Park website. To help get you prepped we have a quick look at each of the pools.
Pool A: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard
The Armed Forces pool is always one of the most competitive of the summer. These players play with a lot of passion and over the years have grown in skill. Army has traditionally been one of the strongest teams with a number of players in the WCAP program. We haven't been able to confirm but it wouldn't shock us to see the likes of Will Holder turn out for the team like he's done in the past.
Take the jump to read more.
Last year the surprise team was the Coast Guard. As the smallest of the Armed Forces they don't have the biggest pool but a committed program and good coaching turned them into an upset machine. They have every chance of doing that again this year. The Air Force has also been strong in years past and could once again if they have players that came through the Air Force Academy available. The same goes for Navy who have had a strong Academy program over the last few years.
Pool B: Bermuda, Black Dragons, Glendale Raptors, Royal Air Force, SoCal Griffins
Pool B has a lot interesting options. Bermuda are well resourced and have put a lot into 7s in the last few years. The Black Dragons and the Royal Air Force are overseas traveling teams that come in not just for the experience but to pick up a win. It's always hard to tell who exactly they are bringing over. In previous years some of these teams have called flat while others have been very, very good. The Glendale Raptors didn't have the best of summers but did win the Pioneer 7s. They are using 7s this summer as development. The SoCal Griffins could be the surprise of the tournament. There is a lot of talent in Southern California and if they can put it all together they have the ability to top the pool and go far.
Pool C: Atavus All-Stars, Atlantis, British Army, Denver 7s, Rugby Utah
For us, this is the pool of death. It wouldn't be a shock to see any of these teams at the top of the podium on Sunday. Rugby Utah are coming off their win at the Club 7s Nationals in which they looked like few teams could touch them. The Atavus All-Stars are made up of players that have excellent at Atavus camps over the last year. They have been monitored and given programs to make them better players. For some of the players this is going to be their first big opportunity on a big stage. Some will excel, some will not but in the end the team is going to make better players.
The British Army has always been a strong side usually with a number of Fijians. Denver missed some of their traditional players this summer and missed out on the Club 7s Nationals. That might be the motivation they need to have a great tournament. The same goes for Atlantis who typically have many of the best players from the Mid-Atlantic.
Pool D: Negro Y Azul, Ramblin Jesters, Stars, Tiger Rugby, Rogues Rugby
This is also an interesting pool. Negro Y Azul is from Austin and has seen success in the playoff rounds. Tiger Rugby is always good and the Stars turn out solid players as well. The Ramblin Jesters are an invitational side but one that is including some U.S. college talent. Then there are the Rogues from Toronto. We think this pool is wide open for a team like the Jesters to come in an take the top seed.
Play starts at 12:00 p.m. MT.

Original article retrieved from Klikpositif on 29 March 2019.
Klikpositif article translated by Joel and Moya in BBIP class, 2 April 2019.
WA teacher of English and Indonesian, Vicki Richardson says that good relations btween the governments of Indonesia and Australia have led to many schools in the two countries working together.
"There are as many as 150 schools in Indonesia and 150 Australian schools that have undertaken educational projects together and they have done student exchanges," said Vicki when visiting STIKes Fort De Kock Bukittinggi, Monday 18 March 2019.
She explained that the learning of Indonesian is compulsory in Australia and begins in kindergarten. The cooperation between the two countries, according to Vicki also opens opportunities for Indonesian workers to work in Australia. "Aged-care nurses are in high demand in Australia and this is an opportunity for Indonesians who want to work overseas," continued Vicki.
Currently, the initator of educational cooperation between Australia and Bukittinggi, Gusrizal, says that opportunities for Indonesians to work overseas, especially in Australia, are very high. "The Government has provided Indonesians under 35 years with opportunities to work in Australia. Besides the health sector,there are also opportunities in agriculture," said Gusrizal.
Gusrizal reminded potential overseas workers to have a good command of English if they want to work in Australia. "Australia is very close to Indonesia and our connections are very strong. For university students and graduates there are lots of opportunites to work in Australia, however one thing that needs to be remembered is that their command of English must be strengthened," clarified Gusrizal
Currently, the Head of STIKes Fort de Kock Bukittinggi, Nurhayati, said that she hoped the visit of their special Australian guest would motivate their students to work overseas later, especially in Australia.
"Bringing guests from overseas is one of our initiatives to prepare graduates to be competetive overseas. We hope students are motivated to want to work overseas, not just think about working in their villages or regions close to home," said Nurhayat.

Consumer economists are trained to understand the factors driving consumer behavior. Continue reading to learn more about the field, the job outlook, education requirements and what jobs are available to make an informed career decision.
The economy is a ceaselessly changing entity, and studying it requires clever and dynamic approaches. The field of consumer economics focuses on how and why consumers make the choices they do by implementing economic and sociological theory to map consumer behavior in varying economic environments. Consumer economists identify and study the factors influencing consumer choices, such as household consumption, finance and consumer preference, to help inform business and market decisions. Strong quantitative skills coupled with business acumen are essentials in this area of work.
A consumer economics degree often lends itself to a career in business, particularly with corporations involved in sales and services. You could work in the area of consumer support as a business manager or research specialist. Additional job titles can include market research analyst, business analyst, financial planner, sales representative and financial consultant. Economists are also employed by various government agencies and educational institutions. You can work as an economics teacher at the secondary level by completing a bachelor's degree and teacher education program. Earning an advanced degree can allow you to pursue a research and teaching career within universities or colleges.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) expected jobs for economists to grow as fast as the national average, at 14%, from 2012 to 2022. Jobs for market and survey researchers were predicted to grow by 32%, a rate much faster than average, over this same period (www.bls.gov). Those with advanced degrees should see the best job prospects overall. As of May 2013, the median annual salary for economists was $93,070, and that for market research analysts and marketing specialists was $60,800, also per the BLS.
Formal education in consumer economics is available through undergraduate and graduate certificate and degree programs. An associate's degree in economics can prepare you for entry into a bachelor's degree program. While a bachelor's degree can be sufficient to enter the field, many economist and market research positions require a master's or doctoral degree. Related economics certificate programs are also available in such areas as family financial planning and economics teaching.
This field of study is commonly offered within economics or consumer and family sciences departments. You could pursue an economics degree while concentrating in consumer economics, or you could choose to earn a consumer sciences degree. Major coursework typically includes applied consumer economics, microeconomics, consumer and social policy, financial management and consumer protection. You'll need to take classes in statistics and mathematics as well.
Continuing education and other professional opportunities, including several certificate programs focused on applied skills used in the industry, are available through the National Association for Business Economics (www.nabe.com). Depending on your career goals, you may also consider professional certification. For instance, the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. administers the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) Certification Examination. To earn the CFP credential, you'll need to meet educational requirements, pass character standards and a background check, have a minimum of three years professional experience in the field and pass the exam (www.cfp.net).

Samantha is an outdoor enthusiast who loves trail adventures and exploring the outdoors. Running, climbing, and backpacking are just a few of her favorite things!
How long have you resided in the PNW? What brought you here?
I was born and raised in the Portland, Oregon area and have lived here all my life! I can't imagine living anywhere else. I feel like we have it all! Mountains, trails, beaches, deserts, you name it!
Has the outdoors always played a significant role in your life? How were you introduced?
Growing up we camped (car camping) and hiked. I loved camping, but I hated hiking. My dad and I laugh about it now. A big part of why I didn't like hiking was because of heights. Little known fact is I used to be very scared of heights! I am still not the biggest fan of heights and exposure, but I've continued to push myself into doing it more, and I've gotten better and better at handling it.
Where is your favorite place to adventure in the PNW?
My favorite place to adventure is a hard one, but I'd have to say the Columbia River Gorge. It's where I first began hiking and running, and it always feels like home to me.
What is your favorite outdoor experience/memory of all time?
My favorite outdoor memory to date is probably my first backpacking experience. I did the Timberline Trail, solo, having no backpacking experience at all. It rained torrentially the entire time and was thoroughly a sufferfest. However, I learned so much about myself and what I was capable of. I was stronger and braver than I ever could've imagined. And I am happy to report all of the following backpacking and fastpacking trips have been much less eventful!
You often run, hike, and backpack solo. What do you enjoy most about doing solo adventures? Any words of wisdom for others who might be interested in doing more solo adventuring?
I love solo adventures! It's a great time to learn about myself and what I'm capable of. Some basics are to know what you're doing, make sure you're carrying appropriate emergency gear, and know your limits. Make a plan and leave your plan with at least one other person, but preferably two.
I can only imagine that being a mom to two kiddos gets insanely busy. How has motherhood (and family life in general) influenced your outdoor lifestyle? How often do you do outdoor adventures as a family?
Having two kiddos definitely makes things more challenging! It's so much coordinating and scheduling. I often get up to run at 4 or 5 am while everyone is asleep or it doesn't happen. I have a very supportive family who helps with the kids immensely and I couldn't do a lot of what I do without them. I try to get them out for hikes and camping as much as I can. There is often complaining about "tired" legs, but I try to push them a bit. I don't want them to grow to not like it, but I want to show them what they are capable of. I took them on a little overnight backpacking trip and they did pretty well all things considered! I plan to do a bit more every year and hope that eventually they'll be able to handle bigger trips with me and I'll have built in adventure buddies.
What are some goals you've set for yourself this year?
My biggest goal for this year is to run from Cascade Locks to the summit of Mt. Adams and down. It will be 100 miles and my biggest challenge yet!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story, Sam! Is there anything else we should know about you? Fun facts, trivia, etc.?
My favorite color is pink. Dark pink to be specific!

Local portals and niche agents - do we need mainstream property portals?
Although said in tongue and cheek, it begs the question: does the user actually need a portal?
I wrote a long time ago about local search and the possibilities of local agents getting together and building a local portal for their area. It strikes me this may have some merit, but could you take it one stage further?
As a user, I will have made some preliminary decisions as to where I want to move, i.e. South coast around the Southampton area as I will be working there. I am prepared to travel no more than 20 miles to commute. Using established portals I can filter the parameters of my search, but with so many portals can I be confident that the majority of property is on there? Are there hidden gems in small agent offices that are feeding to other portals I don't know about or not using the portals at all.
If I therefore come across a local portal that claims to have all the agents in and around Southampton along with local content, information on schools etc, I am going to be tempted to explore.
But how have I found this local portal? Perhaps through advertising, but more than likely through a Google search and to weed out the other portals I may have been more specific with my search. To this end, I am already searching a niche and if I find an agent matching my search criteria it is a strong possibility they will have a property fitting my description. Does the future therefore lie with niche agents and local portals?
As an agent, should I just pursue one market, for example, village property, or go one step further and dominate the thatched cottage market for my area and perhaps a little further afield?
If I undertake this course, there is argument to say I don't need a portal. Indeed, I am already reducing my marketing spend and if I corner the thatched cottage market and excel in my seo/sem why should I need a portal?
Perhaps now is the time for Google to enter the space and allow agents to self market without the need for portals
I believe that it is only be challenging the existence of our business and asking such questions we can improve and offer services both the user and the agent needs.

Good points but a couple flaws that I can see:
1. Google is already in the space. It is a go between for all. If they enter it formally, then they re competing with their advertisers which they will not do. Not to mention, mighty Google is not interested in the sliver of revenue from this sector. (don't forget the listings product, Google Base failed)
2. The 'freemium' model employed by Zoomf and Globrix should give consumers the full view. That's the theory. If it's free, you then attract everyone.
3. Small portals. Now you're getting crazy :-) If it's so difficult for an agent to put together a decent website (there are some horrors out there), why do you think they'd be able to do it as a group? Even with the fact that it's easier all the time to produce web content, I am very skeptical of this happening in the correct manner to attract traffic. Property is still behind the times when it comes to the internet.

Interesting point 3 from Mr Zoomf.
I run a very successful region portal which has over 200 branches and 10k properties and 60k visitors pcm. Our agents comment that we produce as good a quantity and quality of leads if not better and at a fraction of the cost of a national
Example: R'Move:£17.50 V £0.73 SPF per lead 3 month average!.
With over 87% of home movers moving within 35 miles, over 95 % of what is on a national portal is irrelvant to the user.
Please have a look at our site www.southernpropertyfinder.com be interested to hear your thoughts.

Google and the like have already entered the market within the states:
I like the idea of local portals as will agents I suspect. In fact again it's a model we are seeing more and more in other sectors i.e. Google local results appear at the top above normal search listings
Intersting post!

Fabulous 8.8 From 1,030 reviews
This seems like a hotel in transition. It is generally in good shape but the halls smell a little musty. Rooms are small. Also, it has a mandatory amenities fee that is not included in the hotels.com rate.
WAY overpriced for what was barely a closet and smelled of urine! Terrible! Construction noise outside kept us up at night.
Mandatory amenity charge is annoying esp when it covers basic items like coffee and tea and bottled water.
Great hotel, clean and desk staff are outstanding. Happy hour everyday in lobby a bonus Very central and easy to get around the city
Great room, very clean and comfortable. Nice king size bed and good quality towels provided. Sipping hour was a nice touch as well as having tea/coffee provided in the morning. Reception area was very welcoming with a cosy fire to sit by. The location was great for exploring the city.

About Woven Husk
One-of-a-kind custom wall hangings, created by deconstructing elements that nature discards. Materials like palm husk, seed pods, palm leaf and sepia bone recreated to bring textural, earthy pieces to your space.
Stacy Madden is the Visual Artist behind Woven Husk. With formal training in Fine Art she creates sculptural pieces as wall hangings, playing with scale and repurposing natural materials. Her work focuses on the intricate beauty of natural texture and worn surfaces that tell a story.
Behind The Brand
Your best pieces of advice for décor styling?
You need to find your own personal style – this is something that may come easily to some, but may be more diffcult to define for others. Either way, dont be overly lead by trends. Start with a clean white space as your blank canvas. I love to keep things light and neutral, for me its evokes calm, or a monochrome pallette adds nice contrast.
I like to add interest through textiles, furniture, artwork and pieces that have special meaning. This could be items collected on travels, antiques, photographs. A piece of advice would be to never settle..if you have a particular piece that you want keep searching until you find it, or dont be afraid to find an artisan or furniture maker who can bring your vision to life.
What was the spark for Woven Husk? Where did the story begin?
The story began in my own backyard, surrounded by palm trees, I was in awe of the beautiful seed pods and husks that would drop from them. Sunbleached and weathered, the textures and tones of these materials were too beautiful to just be discarded, so I started to deconstruct them and reshape them into designs that highlighted their texture and worked perfectly as wall hangings. All of the materials I use are from nature, and each piece is bespoke and hand made by me.
What inspires you creatively?
Inspiration comes from so many places for me. Obviously where I live on the Sunshine Coast plays a huge part with its stunning coastal environment, loads of palm trees, earthy textures and a colour pallette I adore. Im always inspired and excited by the uniqueness of each material I find, its colour and texture, and by the potential to create something completely different each time.
Im also inspired by architecture and interior styling, and I'll often design pieces with a dream space or style in mind.
Most memorable place you've travelled?
Its hard to pick one favourite, but the Greek Islands always comes to mind when asked this question. Its a place that I dream to go back to (with a good camera this time!) Id love to go there again, with family in tow.
On a typical weekend we'll find you?
Weekdays are so busy, so weekends are about not having a schedule and trying to slow down. We live by the beach so that always plays a big part, along with good food, friends and family.
A favorite quote?
'Comparison is the thief of joy' – Theodore Roosevelt.
I live my life with empathy and compassion for others…but I also march to the beat of my own drum! I hope this is one thing my children understand and embrace as they grow in a social media obsessed world.

Evening in Annecy
by Evgeny Lushpin, 2015
Annecy is one of the largest city in the city of southeastern France. It is called the Pearl of French Alps. The blooming flowers by the side of the river made the painting look like an absolute dream. Imagine sitting in the river cafe, sipping in warm tea or coffee. What a relaxing feeling, right? The buildings look really quaint and interesting, totally full of life and character. It is no wonder why the bridge over water is filled with people walking by. It is such a beautiful place to hang out. Relaxing and artistic, this cityscape painting will liven up any room in your house. You can imagine the festive music playing in the background.

|PW v Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (2018) EWCA Civ 1067
|Best interests/transparency
|"Two central criticisms are made of the judgment below, and the judge's determination of best interests. First, that the judge failed to appreciate and therefore give any or any adequate weight to RW's wishes and feeling. These were, contrary to her findings, ascertainable; they pointed to the fact that he was a "fighter", to the value he ascribed to life and to his desire to "hold fast to it" no matter how "poor" or "vestigial" in nature it was. Secondly, the judge overstated the risk that having the NG tube in place would pose for RW at home and the burden this would place on him, in circumstances where the dedicated care his sons could provide would remove or mitigate that risk. In the result, and in any event, it is submitted the judge's overall analysis of what was in RW's best interests failed adequately to address the relevant issues and evidence, and was a flawed one. In my view neither criticism is well-founded." Another aspect of this case related to the transparency order/reporting restrictions.

Botox® Cosmetic is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the United States for reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Botox can create a younger and fresher apperance in just 10 minutes. Botox has been used for over 20 years to treat wrinkles and facial expression lines. Worcester, MA cosmetic Dr. Paul Willis uses botox to target areas between the eyebrows that can make your expression look "angry". Approved by the FDA, Botox injections are a safe and effective way to restore a more natural youthful appearance.
As we age the stresses of life and environmental stressors can begin to age the appearance of our skin. The first signs of aging often appear around the eyes and mouth in the form of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox is a protein compound that is injected into designated muscle groups of the face. The Botox proteins weaken the muscles that over time have stiffened. Botox relaxes the appearance of those deep lines and crows feet. Many patients choose Botox because facial fillers can make the face appear uneven, especially in sensitive spots around the eyes, forehead, mouth and neck. Botox impacts the muscle directly, creating a smooth and natural appearance. Botox will reduce the fine lines around your eyes and can decrease the appearance of creases around your mouth.
Schedule A Consultation
Serving the Worcester and Shrewsbury area, Dr. Willis is a highly trained cosmetic physician. Dr. Willis is able to treat wrinkles and facial expression found on the forehead, eyebrows, around the mouth and the neck.If you are interested in receiving Botox or would like to discuss your treatment options, request your free consultation at our Shrewsbury office today! Dr. Willis will discuss your cosmetic concerns and goals to create a treatment plan personalized for you that will restore your confidence.

Does/Can Firefly use CUDA?
eternityblue last edited by
I have Poser 2014 GD running on a 3770 i& w gtx750, I don't think Poser is using the card for rendering Firefly, I guess it uses it for Preview as that is super fast, but is there any way to get the rendering of Firefly using the card?
johndoe641 last edited by
Firefly would probably have to be rewritten from the ground up to use CUDA or any type of GPU rendering. :(

Why hire a professional?
As a professional organizer, I often see situations that have gotten completely out of hand. Other times, a client is temporarily overwhelmed and just has no time to put a home or office in order. Either way, how can you tell if you need to hire a pro rather than organize yourself?
Professional organizers are trained to work with people who are disorganized, untidy, or overwhelmed. In this unique position, I can see the barriers that keep you from accomplishing your organizing goals. Do you have enough time to deal with the clutter? Are you too attached to belongings you just don't need? Are you missing the forest for the trees?
I offer a different perspective than you have. Not invested in your belongings, I can objectively help you. We can weed out the things that are cluttering your home or office and pare it down to where it is much more manageable. Because I am not attached to your stuff, I can help you see things from an outsider's prospective and strive to make decisions everyone will find workable.
Are you motivated? This is another problem a professional can fix. We can go through your belongings together where I can keep the energy level up and spirits high. I do not judge, rather I am supportive and will encourage you along the way.
Is space an issue? We can figure out ways to make the most of the space you have. I can find some hidden spots you never noticed or discover clever ways to create space that you might not be using to its maximum potential. Knowing that everything will have its own place in the end makes the process easier.
Sorting can be difficult, especially when downsizing to a smaller home. I have systems that make sorting your belongings much easier for everyone involved. We can sort items you will keep, give away, sell or donate.
Organizing can be like a snowball, as we move through your home, you will gain momentum. It will become routine to keep things in order from this point forward. Of course, I am always available to come back if things start to get out of hand again or to advise you on solutions that will help keep you on track.
Get rid of the bad feelings and guilt over too much stuff with nowhere to put it. I want you to feel good about the changes in your home and in your life. Together we can make great strides in organizing your belongings, downsizing or any other reason you may call on me for help.

Complementary therapies
The principle of homeopathy is that 'like cures like' and that if a substance triggers symptoms similar to those from which a patient is suffering, then a small dose of that same substance will encourage the patient's body to fight the illness or disease. Homeopathic remedies are derived from plants, minerals, metals, insects and recognised poisons, many of which have been used medicinally for generations. Homeopathy is believed to be suitable for many health complaints including depression and chronic conditions such as arthritis and post-viral fatigue syndrome.

The Library of the Health Sciences-Peoria (LHS-Peoria) has loaned medical and pharmaceutical equipment and related artifacts from its collections to the Peoria Riverfront Museum for an exhibit entitled "10 Medical Inventions That Changed the World." The exhibit celebrates Peoria's historical and ongoing contributions to healthcare research and development, most notably solving the problem of how to mass produce penicillin at the Northern Regional Research Laboratory—now called the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research—in the early 1940s. The exhibit also features other pioneering advances in medicine from Peoria and around the world that have significantly impacted humankind.
From medical inventions (such as eyeglasses and stethoscopes) so ubiquitous we don't often pause to consider their significance, to recent breakthroughs in technologies and simulation that will one day undoubtedly save and improve the lives of billions of people, the "10 Medical Inventions" exhibit recognizes these truly profound innovations.
Materials on loan for the "10 Medical Inventions" exhibit from LHS-Peoria's health sciences special collections range in date from ca. 1850-1970. Artifacts include a human skeleton medical specimen, a cast iron apothecary mortar and pestle, microscopes, eyeglasses, over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, as well as dermatological chromolithographic book plates and other items from its basic science, surgery, hematology, podiatry, cardiology, home medical therapy and internal medicine collections.
"We are pleased to partner with the College of Medicine Peoria in contributing to this informative exhibit on medical inventions. It is through this partnership that we have received many of these unique items, and we are thankful for the opportunity to share them with Museum visitors," says LHS-Peoria Regional Head Librarian and Assistant Professor Deborah Lauseng.
The exhibit is on display at the Peoria Riverfront Museum through April 28, 2019. Visitors will have an opportunity to vote for their choices for the top ten medical interventions.
Special thanks to the Peoria Riverfront Museum, the UIC College of Medicine Peoria and our generous donors: Dr. R. Kent Bryan; Dr. Allan C. Campbell; Dr. Chester & Mrs. George Ann Danehower; Dr. Tom & Mrs. Jo Dorsch; Dr. William H. Marshall; Ms. Helen Moser; Dr. Lorin Whittaker, Jr.; and Dr. Martha J. Willi.

According to the biological classification of animals, reptiles of Chelonia order are turtles. They are found in most parts of the world and can be marine or non-marine. Their length ranges from less than ten centimeters to more than 2m. They feed on soft plant material or small animal or both. Turtles of a particular family. Testudinidae are known as tortoises. They are terrestrial (non-marine), vegetarian and the majority of their species are confined to Africa and Madagascar. They are characterised by high domed shell, heavy elephant-like legs and hard-scaled forelegs. Giant tortoises may weigh upto 180kg and now are rarely found.
Funny Logics
- A vehicle can turn turtle but not tortoise.
- It's similar to that between an alligator and a crocodile.
- A turtle did not indulge in a race with the hare.

Robert is ordering his lunch at McDonald. Not without difficulties, desperate repetitions, and partially futile efforts to spell words "coke" and "fries" he managed to order chicken nuggets with fries and coke. Now he has to ask for sweet and sour sauce. He does ask. A few times. But yet again, five syllables of, "Sweet and sour sauce." are wrung into a knot of one undecipherable sound. I suggest spelling and Robert starts, "S, w, e..". The young woman at the register doesn't make a connection. She repeats "s" and "w", but still doesn't know what Robert wants. Robert spells again. This time he adds something new. As he spells, his fingers seem to write the letters in the air. The young woman has an idea. She gives Robert paper and a pen. Robert writes "sweet" . Now she knows. She gives Robert one tiny box of the sauce. Very loudly and clearly Robert protests "TWO, TWO, TWO". He gets two packets , grabs them, and leaves.
The strange thing was that Robert was happy. I expected him to be irritated, stressed, even humiliated. The process of ordering simple meal took so long, so much effort, so many trials, and so many misunderstanding that it had to be draining. I am not sure if it was worth to force Robert to order by himself. At some point I even told him that if he doesn't order by himself we would have to leave McDonald without eating. I am not proud of myself, although the effect of that mean warning had two positive consequences. On one hand it convinced Robert that he couldn't turn to me for help in ordering and so he doubled his efforts. On the other hand, the young employee felt much more empathy toward Robert. Not only he had difficulties speaking but also had a mean person with him. So she decided to help him tell her what he wanted. She, too, doubled her efforts.
I felt confused, humiliated, and guilty but Robert was happy! Why?
Because he managed without my help?
Because he was proud of the way he pretended to write ?
Because someone on the other side of the counter made an extra effort at communicating with him by giving him a pen and paper?
Or maybe he was just glad that the ordeal was over and he got his chicken nuggets, fries, coke, and two packets of sweet and sour sauce.

WCC Alumni Spotlight: Stefanie Fields, certified hypnotherapist and children's book author*
- Why did you choose WCC?: I attended WCC through the Running Start program as a junior in high school and was so happy I did! The college environment was a much better fit for me.
- What are you doing now? I'm now living near Vancouver, BC as a Certified Hypnotherapist and recently published my 4th children's book. I'm actively visiting elementary schools and day care centers to inspire kids and teach them about the writing process. I've met so many eager, young writers - it's very encouraging!
- Favorite memory of WCC? Oh it's hard to choose just one! A funny memory that just came to mind was in Ene's art class in the fall. We'd been sketching the trees outside the window and when we came back to class on Monday all the leaves we'd drawn were gone from the wind. The room was a flurry of erasing! Remembering that sound and the floor of eraser crumbs still makes me laugh.
- Favorite spot on campus? I used to nap in my car between classes, so the parking lot was actually my favorite place. If I went back and parked there now, I'd probably still fall asleep in a minute.
- Favorite professor? Ed Harri! He was the first teacher after middle school that made math make sense to me. Thank you, Ed!
More information about Stefanie and her partnering illustrators can be found online at www.stefaniebooks.com. Her books are available on Amazon and found locally at The Chipper Bird, Wandering Oaks Fine Arts Gallery, Village Books, St Joseph Hospital, and the Whatcom Art Market.
