Hi, introducing.. my name is Febry. I make this web blog special for my self and also everyone music lovers, especially playing guitar. I'm not a perfect man, not a perfect guitarist, or musician. But I feel freedom when I touch and playing guitar while singing my favorite song, and simply song too.

Not special blog, but I can make a note for me and maybe you too.
"You can feel nice music if you can't hear with your heart..". So, enjoy, play, and singing a song..


In its bid to unlock growth around the country, the government is turning to cities for help. The UK's major urban hubs have been given decision-making powers, devolved funding and new financing models in return for drawing up growth plans. Eight of these 'city deals' were agreed in July 2012 with Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield. And a further 20 cities now have the opportunity to do the same in a second wave of deals.
Green Alliance has already demonstrated that the low carbon economy is not only resilient to the recession, but is growing. And low carbon growth offers cities the surest route to prosperous and resilient futures. So did cities recognise the deals as an opportunity to make progress in that direction?
Across the existing eight city deals, our report Green Cities: using city deals to drive low carbon growth, found that cities clearly recognised the economic value and potential of the low carbon sector. Newcastle and Liverpool both concentrated on building their offshore energy industries, with Newcastle aiming to secure £500 million in investment and 8,000 jobs to for the sector, and Liverpool planning for £100 million in investment and 3,000 jobs. Birmingham used its city deal to net an additional £3million for their Green Deal programme. Manchester's deal created a 50/50 joint venture to develop a portfolio of low carbon investment options for the Green Investment Bank. Sheffield worked on ensuring they benefit from new nuclear investment, and Nottingham plans to expand its district heating system and has a focus on sustainable transport.
But there was considerably variation in how central low carbon growth was to the deals. Leeds framed its approach to growth with a low carbon vision for the city, while others missed the opportunity to do so. Apart from Newcastle, few deals acknowledged the role of tackling climate change in securing resilient economic growth, focusing instead on low carbon manufacturing. And few deals embedded low carbon goals across all areas of their deals. Nottingham integrated low carbon energy into its infrastructure plans, and its transport goals focused on sustainability. But more progress will be needed on transport and skills in particular, if cities are to achieve low carbon futures.
Looking ahead, cities in wave two deals are being encouraged to focus on a single initiative, so the question of how they can frame their priorities with a focus on low carbon growth, and embed means of achieving progress across their deal is a pressing one. City deals are becoming a prominent means of 'doing business' with government, making them a good opportunity for cities to find ways to speed up progress on a range of existing commitments to low carbon and resource security goals at once.
From a government point of view, city deals offer a significant new opportunity to develop productive new relationships. Cities have a huge amount to offer departments like DECC and CLG in understanding how retrofit or heat network objectives become realities on the ground, and to take advantage of realising these ambitions at city scale. Cities are enthusiastic about this opportunity and the deals process should be capitalised on as a new way for cities and the centre to work together on tackling climate change and achieving low carbon growth.

Philip Shirley (1913–1998) was a businessman, who held senior positions with the British Transport Commission, British Rail Board and Cunard in the United Kingdom and the Public Transport Commission in Australia.

Life and career
Philip Shirley was born in Australia in 1912, before emigrating to England in 1936. In 1958 he became the chairman of Batchelors. After being appointed to the British Transport Commission in 1961, he became the vice-chairman of the British Rail Board under Richard Beeching in 1964. He was appointed chairman of Cunard in 1968.

Having retired, in 1972 Shirley returned to Australia, having been appointed the inaugural chairman of the Public Transport Commission, becoming the highest paid public servant in New South Wales. Appointed for a five-year term, Shirley resigned in November 1975 and returned to England. Shirley earned the ire of railfans enforcing bans on steam locomotives operating on the main line in both the United Kingdom and Australia.

The terror attack in Lahore, Pakistan today shows mundane astrology at work. I'm using the independence of Pakistan horoscope, 15 August 1947 in Karachi, with the time of 9:33 am supplied by Star IQ.
This mundane horoscope has been used to accurately predict events in Pakistan as shown by Noel Tyl, "We can anticipate the Apex of these ever-so-difficult developments to be October 2009 with tr Saturn conjunct the Ascendant and square the Midheaven" As detailed in Noel's Forum  the Peshawar market bombing of 28 Oct 2009 occurred with transiting Saturn conjunct the Ascendant by 36′.
The Lahore attack today occurred at "1.45 pm local time" Chennaionline]. Transiting Uranus was opposite the Pakistan Ascendant (conjunct the Descendant) by 27′. Uranus explosion and Descendant open enemies. (These transits are precession corrected by 53′). Neptune was opposite the Pakistan Part of Fortune by 53′. This attack is part of a religious war, an attack on a Mosque. The Midheaven was conjunct Pakistan Mars by 11′ and conjunct the Pakistan Midheaven by 46′. The Ascendant was conjunct the Pakistan Ascendant by 41′. These last two transits support the accuracy of the 9:33 am time for the Pakistan chart. This chart for Pakistan definitely looks like a winner, so what does it say about the country?
Mars conjunct the Midheaven says this is a military government, and the rulers are military men, correct. Mars and the Midheaven are also conjunct Uranus which says terrorism and explosions are a major issue fot the government, correct. " Mars: The armed forces and police; violent crime, war, industrial concerns; when associated with Uranus may cause explosions, terrorism" [Mundane Astrology – Wikipedia].
The Ascendant is exactly square the Midheaven putting the very identity of the nation at odds with it's government and rulers. So very true with the continual struggle for control of power, assassinations and military coups.
There is an increased risk or further terrorist activity in the weeks ahead with the 08 June Jupiter Uranus conjunction falling on the Pakistan Descendant by just 10′. That should be the most perilous time ahead. Jupiter and Uranus will then have two more hits to the Descendant and that will be out of the way by April 2011, still dangerous but at least they won't hit together like they do in a couple of weeks. Saturn has one more pass of the Ascendant on 27 July 2010 which is another danger period. However, the major carnage we saw last year was mainly due to transiting Pluto opposing the Mars and Midheaven. This period saw the injection of 7.5 billion dollars from the USA, followed two days later by a major military offensive by the Pakistani's on Taliban strongholds in the border regions with Afghanistan. Pluto is retrograding at the moment, but stations direct almost 2 degrees short of opposing the Pakistan Mars. Things should not be as bad long term , the worst from destructive Pluto is be behind this nation. Just got to get through this Jupiter Uranus conjunction on the Descendant.
world war III would break out around Indo- Pakistan..
Nice job. I sure hope that the solar eclipse brings some good news.
Last year, I believe our mayor was arrested for fraud after a day or two in office during the solar eclipse. And a bunch of rabbis or something were also arrested for selling organs? It was an interesting scene last year.
Hi Jamie, I found your article looking for another astrological viewpoint on the floods. I think that your data might be incorrect though, the 9:33 time is sometimes given for the August 14th chart (according to Noel Tyl, but his forum indicates that he does not know the source for that time) – the midnight time is used for the August 15th chart.
OK, I see that my notes came from Star IQ and the 8/15/47 chart at 9:33 does resonate strongly with all of these recent events. Sorry to take up your comment space!
Hi Lynn, I usually prefer the most recent chart for a nation myself and do like to know exactly how the quoted time came to be. This one just seems to describe the nation better and works well with current events. Transiting Saturn was on the AC when Obama's massive aid packeage was signed coinciding with the Pakistan military offensive against the Taliban. Recently Saturn again on the AC with Uranus on the DC for the flood. I also like the star Scheat being on the DC.
I'm amazed that you are talking about the technicalities of astrology (this house that aspect and blah de blah). Whereas you are ignoring the simple fact that this whole article is based on a fallacy – pakistan was created on 15 August. This is NOT true!
this means all the calculations are WRONG!
Lets hope that when thesse Jupiter Uranus conjunctions are finished near the Pakistan DC that the bombings also finish!
Hilary Clinton is in Pakistan on an 'unscheduled' visit, supposedly to quell the repercussions of the Bin Laden assassination (to be blunt) – her Saturn is conjunct the Pakistan Sun (and square her nodes at the south bending, which suggests she is out to manifest something, namely 'control') and at the upcoming eclipse her Saturn will be trine the NN, square Venus and quincunx Ceres – can we find a chart for her and look at the implications (as obvious as they may seem even from this small amount of information, I do not believe it is so obvious, especially given the Saturnian element at this eclipse, and I am wondering what is 'behind' that agenda) and, those more versed in Pakistani politics, would be interested to know how you see this intervention – it looks astrologically opportunist!
Is it stars to decide or time to decide or cruks of the situation to decide or interests to decide or set the future of the pakistan they all r too but the final and decisive decision is to b taken by the people of pakistan to get their solutions fr there faith.

Most people who have planned a wedding will tell you just how much of a challenge it can be much of the time. You'll have to deal with tailors, dressmakers, jewelers, bakers, caterers, florists, photographers and more. These tips will help you have the perfect wedding.
Of course, the focus of your wedding should be on the person whom you plan to marry. This is a huge commitment, and rushing into things for the sake of being married may be catastrophic. Think hard about this person and what things in your life you can't do without, as well as the things that will drive you up the wall.
Tie in small decorative items to your wedding decor. Maybe choose the tiny crystals from your veil to also be sprinkled on the tables. The little details like this help you pull all of the various aspects of the wedding together into one coordinated event.
Shop around for your photographer before making a commitment for the big day. You never want to hire a photographer who doesn't fit your style. Check out online reviews or ask people you know to recommend excellent photographers within your area.
Be sure to have a place for your guests to wait and mingle while you are taking your photographs. The photos concerning the rest of the wedding party should be done in advance. Pictures with the couples respective parents should also be taken in advance to cut down on wait time for the guests arriving at the reception.
Midday is the best time to have wedding receptions. During the day, you will see that people are less likely to drink, which can noticeably reduce your costs. It will also be cheaper if you have a lunch time reception and you can have better food or use the money saved to invest in your honeymoon!
Treat your feet well by wearing shoes that are comfortable and well-fitting. Even so, you still want to be trendy. Read on to learn how to find fashionable shoes that are also comfortable and affordable. Make sure you read it over carefully.
Always wear socks when wearing sneakers. The friction can damage your foot. You are also permitting fungus to grow since the moist foot is coming into contact with the shoe. Wear some dry socks and maybe even some foot powder to ensure your feet stay dry.
Be mindful and stick to your budget when buying shoes. If you know you have an amount in mind that you want to spend on shoes, be mindful of that amount when shopping. Sales and discounts could tempt you to buy more than you truly need and make it difficult for you to maintain the budget. Only get what you need and pay attention to what you are spending.
Flip-flops are not a shoe that can be constantly worn. These shoes have no support and can cause injuries. Just wear sandals near the water.
Before buying athletic shoes it is important to determine what type of arch you have as shoes fit differently on various arches. Wet the bottom of one foot and step down on some paper. When you look at the wet parts you'll be able to learn what kind of arch type you have. If your arch is flat, then most of the footprint will be visible. The middle won't be visible if you have a high arch. This can help with finding shoes that fit.
Don't let yourself believe that shoes will become more comfortable with time. It's better for them to fit well as soon as you wear them. There's a very good chance the shoe won't respond to stretching the way you anticipate it will. They will just continue to injure your feet up to the point of your giving up on them.
Your kindergarten aged child will appreciate having shoes with velcro fasteners. Even if your kid can tie their own shoes, doing so when you're in a rush can take a while. Have one pair with shoelaces, and another pair without them, for when things get crazy.
Get shoes that your children can grow into. Get more than thumbs width from the toe to the tip of the shoe. That way, there will be room for the foot to grow without the shoe being too large. Ask a sales clerk to help if you aren't sure.
It's impossible to know too much about beautiful jewelry! If you make a mistake it can cost you a lot of money. Here are several very practical pieces of advice on the topic. With these tips, you can steer clear of potential pitfalls and have the best experience possible with buying, giving, and maintaining jewelry.
Get a polishing cloth for your jewelery. This method ensures your jewelry stays shiny without having to use any chemical cleansers or solvents. To clean your jewelry, obtain a soft two-sided cloth and gently rub in a circular motion. Use one side for polishing and the other for improving its shine.
Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia and acetone that may permanently damage your jewelry. This can cause your stones to turn and dull in color, along with eating away any enamel on the pieces.
You should always store your jewelry very carefully. Keep pieces separately by using compartments, boxes, hooks and holders. Avoid simply piling them on top of each other in a box. Heavy pieces should not be placed in the same compartment with fragile pieces.
Your jewlery needs to be kept in a place where it is protected from air and humidity. Some good examples of proper storage would be,a jewelry box that is closed, or a small draw string bag. Humidity quickly tarnishes both precious and non-precious metal. Precious metals are able to be polished and retain their luster, but the non-precious metals have a coat, and polishing will cause the metal under it to show through.
Before you buy a gemstone, ask what type of gemstone it is. Natural gems and imitation gems have been joined recently by synthetic gems, making three main categories. You have to know that imitation refers to colored plastic. Synthetic gems are grown in a lab, natural gems are dug out of the Earth.
Do your research before settling on one diamond. Compare the jewelery you like with others that are similar; make sure to examine the pieces closely. Be careful of tricks that jewelers use to make a diamond look bigger or better.
Keep your jewelry from getting tarnished in order to keep it looking it's best. One of the best ways to keep your jewelry looking beautiful is to avoid wearing it in water. This could cause your jewelery to rust or become more dull. If you are looking to protect your jewelry from the ill effects of water, try applying clear nail polish, just a thin layer, on the piece itself.

Q: Combining many if conditions in Ruby Just wondering, any better way to write this:
if key != "a" && key != "b" && key != "c"
  ...
end

Perhaps concatenating the conditions above?

A: unless ["a", "b", "c"].include?(key)
    # ...
end

A: case key
when "a", "b", "c"
else
  ...
end

A: unless %w(a b c).include?(key)
  # ...
end

A: Try Array#include:
if not ["a", "b", "c"].include? key
  ...

A bit more concise.

A: One way is to use include:
if !%w(a b c).include?(key) then
  ...
end

A: if %w( a b c ).exclude?(key)
  ...
end

from active_support

A: unless key[/[abc]/]
  ...
end

...but I prefer sawa's answer for readability.

Walter in deep thoughts: "My process is very much about being isolated, being in my own world because everything else is a blur... merely a virtual distraction that is held together by the vanities of the world. I don't need to fill in the blanks. There are no ideas... there are no feelings except my own. Only my own sensibility (if that even exists) is important. I don't see any point in finding out anything else ... and that is the point."


Another quick sketch today. It was my day off but I decided to spend it catching up with an old friend and chilling out instead of staying indoors and drawing. I kinda needed to spend most of the day away from the computer I think. A busy day tomorrow doing work and illustrations and trying to pretty up and finish off my 3D assessment. I just want it all sorted and done....it's due end of Thursday, but the more ahead I am, the easier it will be to fix anything that goes wrong at the last minute.


This study examines the group input and group process factors that lead to high-quality products in open content communities. A theoretical model was developed, based on the Input-Process-Output approach of group research in social psychology and on the Time, Interaction, and Performance Theory proposed by McGrath (1991). The model tests the relationship between input variables: organizational (Organizational Support), group-related (Group Size, Shared Experience and Group Heterogeneity) and individual (Member Competency and Member Activeness); process variables: group production, group well-being and member support: and an output variable: group effectiveness. A quantitative study of the detailed activity logs of Wikipedia, an open content encyclopedia, was designed using a sample of 10,000 group tasks. A partial least squared (PLS) statistical approach was used to test the theoretical model. This study shows the synergistic and overwhelming role played by group size and shared experience on both group process variables and group effectiveness. This project provides also evidence about (1) the positive effect of group heterogeneity on group production; (2) the positive effect of organizational support and member activeness on group well-being; (3) the positive effect of member activeness on member support; and finally, (4) the positive effect of organizational support and member activeness on group effectiveness.


Discussion in 'Lens Lust' started by azkober, Sep 13, 2008.
I want one. Can't find one. B&H is out of stock since forever. KEH only has one used one. Now I hear rumors of an upgrade? Does anyone have any reliable info on this?
There are always rumors that the lens is going to be updated. There's a chance it might be announced at the Photokina show later this month.
Please keep in mind that there were rumors that a replacement would be announced earlier this year at PMA. Then more rumors that a replacement would be announced before the Olympics. Then in the August announcements. I think you get the idea. All the rumors are just rumors.
The fact that the lens is out of stock does not mean an update is imminent. The lens has been perpetually out of stock for a few years now.
Try Allen's camera... I bought my 70-200/2.8 there a couple months ago when everyone was out. He's a great guy to work with!
Congratulations on the new 70-200VR!
Did you get it from B&H? They had stock on it a few days ago, and so did a number of other retailers.
Either way, have fun with it! It's not looking good for a new version at Photokina so the rumor fans are now saying WPPI next year. If I listened to the rumors -- new 70-200VR @ 2007 WPPI, then PMA, by-the-Olympics-for-sure, at the Nikon August announcements, Photokina -- I would have missed a ton of great shots!
Thanks. I'm not sure what it is they would "update" on this lens so I finally jumped on a locally available copy. Wanted to buy it from B&H but their salesguy did his best to dissuade me. I should have ignored all the rumors and bought it a while ago but all that is water under the bridge now. I'm really looking forward to learning to use this lens.
Nikon is on a roll, in taking great lenses and making them even better in many respects. E.g. 28-70/2.8 --> 24-70/2.8, 17-35/2.8 --> 14-24/2.8. So I wouldn't put it past them to make the 70-200VR replacement better than the current one.
But I agree, if one has stuff to shoot and the funds to buy, waiting can be really counter-productive. Same goes for the 85/1.4 which is due to be replaced "any show/press conference from now" -- for the past several years.
If they ever build an 18-200VR with the 70-200VR build quality and IQ then I'll get a second mortgage to buy it.
