Thanks for taking the time to have a quick glance at my profile.
I started off in photography about 8 years ago focusing mainly on landscapes. After learning my camera, I took a college course for 6 months teaching the basics of portrait photography however that was back in 2012. I am now looking to get back into portrait by hiring a studio and attending workshops if they're available locally.
Hopefully this site will put me in contact with models and fellow photographers who can offer advice and guidance, and also possible future courses that would be worth attending.
As I'm looking to learn, any advice always welcome.

a brand of spiced ham
holding his cheek and jaw when he talks like cutout photos of the late J. Benny
Comedian Jack Benny (1894-1974) would often hold his chin with his hand while addressing an audience. See Benny's statue in Cucamonga where he is holding his cheek and jaw [1].
tallly
'tall' used adverbially.
phantasms
apparitions or specters
plural of quantum, an indivisible entity of energy
Heisenbergian
Werner Karl Heisenberg (1901-1976) was a German physicist and one of the fathers of quantum mechanics.
a felt that looks like velvet
ACCIACCATURA
Comes from the Italian verb acciaccare, "to crush". The acciaccatura (sometimes called short appoggiatura) is perhaps best thought of as a shorter, less melodically significant, variant of the long appoggiatura, where the delay of the principal note is scarcely perceptible – theoretically subtracting no time at all." (Wikipedia)
a device used for distillation made up of a tube connecting two containers
LATRODECTUS MACTANS
"Latrodectus mactans, the (southern) Black widow, is a highly venomous species of spider in the genus Latrodectus. They are well known for the distinctive black and red coloring of the female of the species and for the fact that she will occasionally eat her mate after reproduction. The species is native to the United States of America and Mexico. The female black widow's venom is particularly harmful to humans (males almost never bite humans). The injection of venom from these species is a comparatively dangerous or lethal bite." (Wikipedia)
Latrodectus Mactans Productions was the name of one of the production companies James O. Incandenza did some of his film cartridges with (see filmography).
NEUTRAL DENSITY POINT
it's not clear what this refers to, but it's quite possible it refers to a concept in optics similar to the concept applied in a Neutral Density Filter, given Infinite Jest's optics motif.
"In photography and optics, a neutral density filter or ND filter can be colorless (clear) or grey filter. An ideal neutral density filter reduces and/or modifies intensity of all wavelengths or colors of light equally, giving no changes in hue of color rendition.
The purpose of standard photographic neutral density filters is to allow the photographer greater flexibility to change the aperture, exposure time and/or blur of subject in different situations and atmospheric conditions." (Wikipedia)
A term originally used in drawing and painting, chiaroscuro is also used in photography and cinematography for techniques of contrasting light and dark
The sense of the relative position of the parts of the body

GERRYMANDER
The breaking up of territory into electoral districts so that one political party has a majority in as many districts as possible. On the other hand, gerrymandering has a broader meaning: creation of any irregularly-shaped electoral districts for any reason, including partisan political advantage or ensuring minority representation.
SCOPOPHILIA
Translation of the Freudian notion of Schaulust, "pleasure in looking," in the sense of both seeing and being seen, as well as "curiosity." Freud distinguished between two frequently encountered forms of this partial drive: one active, "voyeurism," and the other passive, "exhibitionism," neither of which he would necessarily rank among perversions. [cf. scopophobic (p.226) & scopophiliac (p.230)]
(1) A character from Hamlet who blames Hamlet for the deaths of his father (Polonius) and sister (Ophelia) and seeks to avenge them by killing Hamlet with a poisoned sword. (2) In Greek mythology, one of the Argonauts and the father of Odysseus.

STRIGIL
"A strigil was a small, curved, metal tool used in ancient Greece and Rome to scrape dirt and sweat from the body before effective soaps became available." (Wikipedia)
A condition where a person has a forward-curving spine
A tax or duty that is imposed - this word was use by Tiny Ewell while he was speaking to (or rather, at) Gately on page 815
A concavo-convex lens, or other crescent-shaped body.
CHRONAXY
"In the mathematical description of the functioning of the nervous system, the chronaxie (or chronaxy) is the minimum time over which an electric current double the strength of the rheobase needs to be applied, in order to stimulate a muscle fiber or nerve cell." (Wikipedia)
POOR YORICK
The (dead) jester in Hamlet. The quote referred to is by Hamlet, holding Yorick's skull after Yorick's remains are uncovered: 'Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest'
Poor Yorick Entertainment is the other main production company used by the late auteur.
LUCULUS
Lucullus (two l's) was a Roman general of antiquity (Wikipedia)
the model of car owned by James Incandenza's father, Mario
DE SICA
Vittorio De Sica (1902-1974) was an Italian neorealist filmmaker, probably most famous for The Bicycle Thief.
NEO-REAL
"Italian neorealism is a style of film characterized by stories set amongst the poor and working class, filmed on location, frequently using nonprofessional actors. Italian neorealist films mostly contend with the difficult economical and moral conditions of post-World War II Italy, reflecting the changes in the Italian psyche and the conditions of everyday life: poverty and desperation." (Wikipedia)
CRANE DOLLY
A camera dolly with a crane that holds the camera.
CIRCUMAMBIENTFOUNDDRAMALEVIRATEMARRIAGE
Circumambient means walking around. "Found Drama" was one of James Incandenza's contributions to film artistic history. Levirate marriage is a tradition in several cultures whereby the younger brother of a deceased man marries the dead brother's widow. (See also Consummation of the Levirates on p. 171)
HELIATED
When someone inhales helium, their voice becomes high-pitched.
Regarding ghostwords, recall also pg. 303, with Poor Tony: "He was haunted by the word Zuckung, a foreign and possibly Yiddish word he did not recall ever before hearing."

An epiphany is a divine manifestation, or by extension, a sudden, deep insight.
Vertical Hold
refers to a setting on a television that adjusts the picture's vertical stabilization
'Ren and Stimpy'
the main characters in a once-popular animated television series
'Oo Is 'E When 'E's at 'Ome'
"Who Is He When He's at Home?" This is a common Irish expression; if person A mentions a name in conversation that person B is unfamiliar with, person B might respond, 'And who's he when he's at home?'. The dropping of an initial 'h' is characteristic of speech in the north-of-England, rather than in Ireland.
'Exposed Northerners'
Wallace is punning on the name of the once-popular television show Northern Exposure.
Gately means "Norm," as in the Cheers character "Norm Peterson" played by George Wendt; "Nom" is how a North Shore native such as Gately might pronounce the name.
comparatively small or insignificant
figurants
performers with no spoken lines
The Sorrow and the Pity
The Sorrow and the Pity (Marcel Ophüls, 1969) is a lengthy documentary about the operations of the French Resistance and Vichy Government during the Second World War. The film was nominated for an Academy Award in 1971 and plays a significant part in Annie Hall (Woody Allen, 1977).
Heineken Maneuver
Gately means "Heimlich Maneuver."
Schwulst
The only Schwulst I can find is Lance Schwulst, who is probably not the person referred to.
Robert Bernard Altman (1925-2006) was an American filmmaker noted for his use of ensemble casts, multiple plotlines and overlapping dialogue. His major films include Nashville (1975), The Player (1992) and Short Cuts (1993). The TV series M*A*S*H, frequently referenced in Infinite Jest, is based on his groundbreaking 1970 film.

an Anabaptist denomination named for Menno Simons (1496-1561), a Frisian religious leader
lacking liveliness or spirit
packy
short for "package store," a Massachusetts euphemism for "liquor store"
pre-metric
in the alternate timeline of Infinite Jest, it's obvious that U.S. Customary systems of measurement are finally abandoned, at some point (perhaps during Reconfiguration), for the global standard of the Metric System (ed.: optimism on Wallace's part, one might say) - the weights the M.P. used were marked with U.S. "pounds" (lbs) instead of Metric kilograms (kg).
to sell stolen goods
i.e., business
German letter representing a high front rounded vowel, as in French tu "you". It is pronounced by producing the i-sound e.g. in "beet" with rounded lips (like for the u-sound in "boot").
Al-Anon/Alateen, Al-Anon Family Groups - support group for families/friends of alcoholics.
Stetson with feather
Stetson w/ feather
Stetson hats or Stetsons refers to the brand of hat manufactered by the John B. Stetson Company of St. Joseph, Missouri. The word 'Stetson' is sometimes used as a genericized term for a cowboy hat. Although the Stetson company makes other styles of brimmed hat, the Stetson name has become synonymous with a style it pioneered, featuring a high crown and wide brim, popularly known as a Cowboy hat.

399. XI. THAT WITH PARENTS THERE IS A RATIONAL STATE OF INNOCENCE AND PEACE IN RESPECT TO THEIR INFANTS, IN THAT THE LATTER KNOW NOTHING AND CAN DO NOTHING FROM THEMSELVES BUT FROM OTHERS, ESPECIALLY THEIR FATHER AND MOTHER; AND THAT THIS STATE SUCCESSIVELY RECEDES AS THEY ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE AND ARE ABLE TO ACT FROM THEMSELVES AND NOT FROM THEIR PARENTS. That the sphere of the love of infants is a sphere of protection and support of those who cannot protect and support themselves, was shown above in its own article, no. 391. It was there stated, that with man this is only the rational cause of the love with them, but not the cause itself. The originating cause of that love is innocence from the Lord. This flows in unknown to the man and brings forth the rational cause. Therefore, as the first cause effects recession from that love, so at the same time does this second cause; or, what is the same thing, as the communication of innocence recedes, so the persuading reason accompanies it. This, however, is the case only with man, and this in order that he may do what he does from freedom according to reason, and that from this, as from rational and at the same time moral law, he may support his grown-up offspring according to necessity and use. This second cause is lacking in animals devoid of reason. They have only the prior cause which with them is instinct.

New Awards to Celebrate Student Achievement
The very first Awards Ceremony for the Giving to Warwick Student Prizes was held in October 2009 and celebrated the achievements of over 20 students from 10 departments across the University.
The prizes were established as a result of philanthropic donations from Warwick Benefactors in order to recognise the academic excellence of Warwick students in various disciplines.
Prizes were awarded for a range of accomplishments including excellence in dissertations, outstanding academic performances and innovative extra-curricular activities relating to academic studies.
As well as recognising specific successes, feedback has shown that the prizes have also encouraged winners in their future studies.
Prize Winner, Joseph Jackson says, "I am extremely grateful to Warwick University's thriving philanthropic community for providing such a generous reward. Formal recognition for last year's hard work is very much appreciated and the prize evening offered a perfect opportunity to reflect on the previous year whilst considering challenges for the future." (Top-performing 2nd year BSc Management student within Warwick Business School)
These awards are organised by the Development and Alumni Relations Office (DARO) and are only possible thanks to the generosity of Warwick's alumni and friends and we very much look forward to awarding more prizes in 2009/10.
All donations to Warwick make an impact, helping ensure that it remains at the forefront of academic research and teaching, that students from all backgrounds can benefit from the 'Warwick Experience' and that they and the University can have a positive impact on the world around them.
Gifts can directly benefit Warwick students in three ways including providing student support, recognising academic excellence and developing the learning environment.
There a variety of ways to make donations to Warwick and all members of the Warwick Development Team will be pleased to discuss Warwick's fundraising goals with you.

Watching and comparing movies like The Revenant and the 1971 film Man in the Wilderness means to consider not only the way the filmmakers tell the story, but the nature of the story itself. The tale of Hugh Glass and his miraculous recovery from a bear mauling has been told for nearly two centuries in myth and for decades in various forms of literature, but what does it really mean? What lessons can we take from Hugh Glass's survival and response for being left for dead by his party? Those are the questions that the film versions are meant to explore.
I find these sorts of comparisons fascinating because it hearkens back to a form of history and record-keeping we don't much rely on anymore. The idea of history as an objective record of what actually happened is a fairly recent innovation. For the longest time, historians were not so much interested in what happened as to what the events meant. Ancient Greeks and Romans filtered their era's tumultuous politics as a reflections of quarrels between their equally ill-tempered gods. The writers of the Gospels conflated the early years of Jesus with elements of the lives of biblical icons such as King David and Moses not necessarily because they actually happened, but because they helped inform a narrative of Jesus as the one true Messiah. Looking at The Revenant and Man in the Wilderness through that lens and divorcing ourselves from the need to bind them to historical accuracy, we see two widely different, yet still similar stories of survival and the nature of revenge.
Man in the Wilderness was directed by Richard C. Sarafian (best known for directing the groundbreaking action movie Vanishing Point, which was released the very same year as Man in the Wilderness) and stars Richard Harris as "Zachary Bass", who is helping guide a party of trappers lead by Captain Henry (John Huston) through the wilderness when he is attacked by a bear. The story hits many of the same beats as The Revenant… we have the two party members who stay behind before running off in fear of the local Native American tribe, Glass/Bass crawling across the landscape in search of shelter, eating the corpse of an animal that had been killed by wolves, etc. As Glass/Bass struggle to recover, we are shown scenes of Captain Henry's party making their way across the wilderness as well as the Native tribes seeking out the party, and both movies build up to a climactic confrontation where all three of these threads intersect.
What is particularly interesting is that while both stories are fictionalized in similar ways, the feel is entirely different. Both movies give their protagonist a deceased wife as well as a son (the real Hugh Glass, so far as we know, didn't have any children) who serves as primary motivation for survival, but in entirely different ways. Zachary Bass hardly knows his son, having been away from home during his birth and even missing the death of his wife due to his work as a seaman and wilderness scout. We see Bass's own lonely childhood in flashbacks, and it becomes clear he has become determined that his own son not go through the same torment. In The Revenant, Hugh Glass's son Hawk is murdered by Tom Hardy's villainous John Fitzgerald when he interrupts him in the act of trying to finish off Glass. Hawk was Glass's only remaining connection to his deceased Pawnee wife (Hugh Glass did, in fact, marry a Pawnee woman, though the record isn't clear if she suffered the same fate as is portrayed in this movie), and as a result his quest for survival is driven largely by his desire for revenge.
That revenge over being left for dead is essentially a secondary goal for Bass says as much about the goal of the movie as is does about the character himself. Man in the Wilderness wears its spirituality on its sleeve, from the flashbacks illustrating Bass's difficult relationship with religion to Richard Harris's Jesus-esque hair and beard, we're clearly looking at a redemption story more than a revenge tale. The Revenant, by contrast, is all about revenge and survival. Glass seeks vengeance on Fitzgerald for murdering his son, and the local Arikara Indian tribe want revenge on trappers for decimating their land and kidnapping one of their women (one thing among several that The Revenant does better than Man in the Wilderness is in its portrayal of Native Americans. Man in the Wilderness makes them more sympathetic than many Westerns, but doesn't give them much in terms of character or personality. The Revenant makes it clear who they are, what they want, and what their attitudes are towards settlers).
The long, difficult struggle faced by both Bass and Glass prior to their confrontation with those who abandoned them offers them plenty of time to consider the ramifications of their actions, and what ends up happening between them offers the most compelling contrast between the two movies. The final sequences and indeed, the final shots of both movies tell completely different stories. Zach Bass stands in front of Captain Henry, asks him to give his rifle back, and then simply continues walking, intent being reunited with his son (keeping in line with the movie's religious theme, when Glass walks away he is followed by several members of Henry's party). It's a low-key, but powerful ending.
The Revenant, by contrast, ends with a brutally violent battle between Glass and Fitzgerald, but when Glass has Fitzgerald at his mercy, he remembers the words of the Native explorer who helped him, saying revenge is in the hands of God, and decides that rather than finish Fitzgerald off, he leaves him at the mercy of the Arikara tribesmen who arrived just as the battle was ending. We end with Glass making his way back through the wilderness, seeing a vision of his dead wife, and then staring into the camera with a haunting and ambiguous expression. Is he considering what to do next? Does he feel responsible for what the Arikara did to Fitzgerald? It's deliberately unclear and nicely subversive, undoing some of the catharsis you'd expect to come with Glass's triumph over Fitzgerald.
The other dramatic way the movies differ is in how they portray the wilderness itself. Man in the Wilderness certainly doesn't skimp on the scenery… it was shot on-location in the south of Spain and contains some striking imagery, including a positively Herzogian opening shot of the cross-like bow of Captain Henry's ship raised above the tree line as it is carried over land by the trapping party. It doesn't, however, portray the environment as a character and threat nearly as much as The Revenant. Alejandro G. Inarritu and Emmanuel Lubezki create a stark, unforgiving wilderness that dwarfs all men who imagine they can conquer it. Survival in this landscape is a day-to-day struggle for all people, let alone someone as hideously wounded as Glass, which makes his journey all the more remarkable.
Both movies have some pacing issues (when a good chunk of your story involves your protagonist crawling across the ground and grunting, how can there not be?) but successfully overcome them largely due to the strength of their performances. Both Harris and DiCaprio carry the stories with little dialogue and a lot of physicality. Not for a moment are they unbelievable as mountain men struggling through the wilderness. John Huston cuts an intimidating figure as Captain Henry, whose amoral attitude and relentless driving of his party is countered by his guilt. Indeed, even when everyone else is convinced that Bass is dead, Huston remains terrified that he will return from the grave. Tom Hardy's Fitzgerald is a classically-styled villain… a despicable piece of work so beaten down by life that he seems completely incapable of feeling happiness or pleasure.
Overall, I'd easily call The Revenant a more accomplished feat of filmmaking and would probably put Leonardo DiCaprio's performance above that of Richard Harris. I do have to say, however, that I prefer the quiet conclusion of Man in the Wilderness to the bloody and violent finale presented in The Revenant… forgiveness is something I find more fulfilling than revenge. But both endings fit perfectly with the movies that preceded them, and they both stand equal as portrayals of the legend of Hugh Glass.
Miscellaneous Notes:
Ÿ1 Hugh Glass's story has also been portrayed on television, in an episode of the Western anthology series Death Valley Days entitled "Hugh Glass Meets the Bear". In that episode, Glass was portrayed by John Alderson, a British actor whose most noteworthy credit was playing Wyatt Earp in a 3rd season episode of Doctor Who where William Hartnell's Doctor finds himself trapped in Tombstone during the events leading up to the gunfight at the O.K. Corral.
Ÿ2 I've got to wonder if changing the protagonist's name in Man in the Wilderness was meant to be as much a pragmatic choice as an artistic one, as Richard Harris makes no attempt to hide his natural Irish accent. In fact, the entire Henry party is a mishmash of different nationalities; considering how being a cowboy or mountain man was often seen as an immigrant profession, this was probably more historically accurate than many people realize.

North And South Korea "Breakthrough for Unification"
The Olympic Games always seem to provide plenty of Illuminist And NWO rituals, messages and symbolism. Usually with a Globalistic fusion theme.
The focus this time around is on the relationship between North and South Korea. Whatever is on the agenda, the "Dear Leader" is certainly engaging in the game. It will be fascinating to see how this plays out!Reuters
Christine Kim
North Korea sent a rare announcement addressed to "all Koreans at home and abroad" on Thursday, saying they should make a "breakthrough" for unification without the help of other countries, its state media said.
It said all Koreans should "promote contact, travel, cooperation between North and South Korea" while adding Pyongyang will "smash" all challenges against reunification of the Korean peninsula.
The announcement, issued after a joint meeting of government and political parties, added Koreans should wage an energetic drive to defuse the acute military tension and create a peaceful climate on the Korean peninsula.
Military tension on the Korean peninsula was a "fundamental obstacle" for the improvement of inter-Korean relations and unification, the North's official news agency said.
It added joint military drills with "outside forces" has shown to be unhelpful for the development of relations between North and South Korea.
North Korea did not provide details why the meeting had been held but the statement said it was aimed to support leader Kim Jong Un's remarks regarding unification from his New Year's address. It said this year is meaningful for both North and South Korea as it is the 70th anniversary of the founding of North Korea while South Korea will be hosting the Winter Olympics next month.

North Korean ex-spy Kim Hyon-hui casts doubt on Kim Jong Un's Olympic motives
From NBC:
Kim Hyon-hui is a mass murderer, a former spy for North Korea who blew up a passenger jet in 1987 on orders from Kim Jong Un's father.
She says he wanted to sabotage the 1988 Seoul Summer Games.
And with the Olympics returning to South Korea in just over two weeks in PyeongChang, she's warning the world not to trust Kim Jong Un. She sees dark motives behind his decision to send athletes to the Winter Olympics.
According to Kim Hyon-hui, the regime hopes to try to separate South Korea from its ally, the United States, and eventually to reunify the Korean Peninsula under Communist rule.
"North Korea is using the Olympics as a weapon," Kim Hyon-hui said. "It's trying to escape the sanctions by holding hands with South Korea, trying to break free from international isolation."
She described the joint Korean Olympic team as "a publicity stunt for Kim Jong Un."

A: This is probably a bot or DDoS protection feature Google has implemented. Google probably does not want people to host services on their own GAE that in turn load their home page. Once is innocent perhaps, but imagine putting your urlopen in an infinite loop. Google's own infrastructure could then be used to attack it's own home page. Explains why (most) other URLs work.
Some URLs (ex: Amazon product pages) will 403 when submitted via a urlopen request from Google Cloud-associated IPs. This is implemented by Amazon to prevent bots, content scraping, DoS, etc. on Amazon. Same principle.

Want to learn how to weather your trains? Here are six great model railway rolling stock weathering tips from the darkest corners of the web to get you started and add faux-rust, dirt, grime, grease and weather marks to your trains.
Weathering is an art as much as a skill and takes years of practice to perfect but you can remove the factory-perfect finish of new trains and add realism and get started relatively easily. It doesn't matter if your rolling stock is Hornby, Pico or Bachmann these six tips will help you get started with some basic techniques.
More tips from urbaneagle .
To fade the letters, put a drop of solution [decal setting solution – MRE] over top of what you'd like to fade. Begin gently rubbing the letter with the eraser [pencil eraser – MRE].
Not every model will react the same way. Some will begin to fade very quickly and with little pressure. With others, you may need to let the solution set for a few minutes and apply a little more force. To be safe, start lightly and continue working until you start to see results.
In most cases, once you begin seeing results, the process will continue rather quickly. Continue rubbing until you've faded just what you want. If remnants from the lettering make it hard to see your progress, wipe off the solution and apply more clean liquid. Be careful not to rub too hard or you'll begin to remove the paint underneath the lettering as well.
Using a brush can be hard work. Wouldn't life be easier if you could have the benefits of water colour paints but apply with the accuracy of a pencil. This next tip is a video from Model Railroad Hobbyist rather than a web page and showing how water-soluble coloured pencils can be used to apply weathering.
New freight cars are a little too shiny as they come right out of the box. Just killing this plastic shine can make your rolling stock look a little more realistic. Use a spray from a can of Testors brand "Dullcote" (or a similar product that dulls a finish) to lightly cover the car. This can also form a base with a little more "tooth" for some of the techniques mentioned later. If you want to fade or modify some of the lettering on the car, do that first before using Dullcote, as the over spray will fix the lettering as it is. Always work in a well-ventilated area, preferably outside, when using a spray can.

Winderman: Heat not hosting your ordinary training camp
By NBC SportsSep 28, 2010, 7:51 PM EDT
So how do you get to the Heat's secluded training camp in the Florida Panhandle?
Well, from most places, you get there by connecting through Atlanta.
And then, from the airport, you get there by driving past one Waffle House, then another, and then another.
But that actually doesn't get you anywhere, at least not onto Hurlburt Field, the Air Force installation the Heat is calling home this week.
No, instead, if you're with the media, you pull across the street to a dirt road by the paintball field and await a school bus that takes you inside the gate.
Inside, the massive complex has the feel of a college campus, albeit one with vintage jets and helicopters featured along the front gate.
But this is no ordinary campus.
So from the school bus you are ushered into a waiting room.
From there, there is one bathroom break. Women line up first, then the men.
Even though the rest room is mere steps away.
You never lose sight of where you are.
And don't even think about misplacing your security badge, the one received only after your secret, personal code is entered.
From there, the courteous staff escorts the media into the gym, where it waits until it is eventually escorted back out.
No this is not Palm Beach Community College or Florida International University or the University of Miami, places where the Heat previously has held training camp.
And it's certainly not the Jewish Community Center just north of Miami, where the senior citizens would walk on the track above as then-coach Ron Rothstein would attempt to conduct practice below.
But it is a unique and refreshing change of pace from what typically is experienced at this time of year.
And invigorating.
Because even with this talented a cast, training camp still is training camp, where the Patrick Beverleys, Kenny Hasbroucks and Shavlik Randolphs take rotations with the regulars.
To see how much hosting the Heat meant to those on the base was to experience what sports were intended to be all along.
A welcomed relief.
In a unique season, the Heat has offered a unique way to start.
And the waffles aren't half bad, either.

Miami Heat may be taking their training camp talents to the panhandle
By Kurt HelinSep 14, 2010, 2:15 PM EDT
There are going to be a hurricane of media attention swirling around the Miami Heat this season. That is going to start at training camp day one and follow them everywhere, all season. It's the price of the coup.
But for training camp, when the Heat will be trying to mold and meld a lot of new parts, they'd like some alone time. Which they will not get in Miami because, well, it's Miami.
So how about the Florida panhandle? Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel suggests in a column the Heat are giving serious consideration to taking their camp north (which is farther into the South, one of the many odd things about Florida).
The Heat will hold its media day on Sept. 27 in Miami, likely at the University of Miami, because of a Shakira concert that night at American Airlines Arena, but then might leave immediately afterward, traveling far enough in the state to put it in the Central time zone.
It is a late decision by the team, which spent this past weekend on a final scouting mission for its camp location, with a team executive flying to Pensacola. Heat President Pat Riley hinted at such a move last week, saying it was something he believed would be to his players' liking.
Camps are closed to the public. This may slightly lessen the actual media at the camp, but you are not going to lessen the attention paid to the notes that do come out of that camp, wherever you hold it.
The media circus has come to Miami. Nothing is changing that.

Emmys 2013: Jack Klugman's son rips Cory Monteith 'In Memoriam'
Jack Klugman, seen in 1998, starred in two 1970s TV hits, "The Odd Couuple" and "Quincy, M.E." He died in December.
(Con Keyes / Los Angeles Times)
By Scott Collins
"Glee" fans may appreciate the special tribute to the late star Cory Monteith at the Emmys on Sunday, but at least one group isn't so happy.
That would be the family of Jack Klugman, the actor who starred in two big 1970s hits, "The Odd Couple" and "Quincy, M.E.," and who died last December.
Klugman's son Adam is calling out the Emmy organizers for extending a special honor to Monteith -- the Canadian actor who died in July of heroin and alcohol poisoning at age 31 -- while tossing his father into the routine "In Memoriam" reel that will include many lesser-known actors and behind-the-scenes personnel.
EMMYS 2013: Full coverage | Top nominees | Complete nominee/winner list
Referring to Monteith's overdose, Adam Klugman said in an interview: "They're celebrating this self-inflicted tragedy instead of celebrating the life of my father, who won three Emmys.... Cory Monteith never won an Emmy."
Klugman emphasized he has nothing against Monteith and in fact is a "Glee" fan. But "to compare the contribution he made to the contribution my father made -- it doesn't compare," he said.
This year, for the first time, Emmy organizers have decided to beef up the "In Memoriam" section with special tributes to five notable TV figures who died this year. The other honorees are writer-producer Gary David Goldberg, comic legend Jonathan Winters, and actors James Gandolfini and Jean Stapleton.
Klugman is not the only noteworthy name missing from the list. Many critics were also surprised that organizers left off Larry Hagman, whose portrayal of J.R. Ewing on the original "Dallas" is one of TV's iconic performances.

Asked for comment, Emmys executive producer Ken Ehrlich responded with a statement:
"Every generation of television viewers has its favorites, and when we decided to expand the 'In Memoriam' segment to remember certain individuals, we wanted these pieces to be representative as well. To a younger generation, Cory Monteith's portrayal of Finn Hudson was highly admired, and the producers felt that he should be included along with the four other individuals we have singled out."
Klugman scoffs at that explanation, saying that producers are side-stepping the real issue.
"Let's call this what it is," he said. "They're doing this because they think they're gonna get a younger generation of viewers to watch."
What do you think? Did Jack Klugman deserve the special tribute? Or are producers right to honor Monteith?

About Augustus 'Gus' Prince
Gus Prince started his career in science as the first black radarman in the United States Navy during World War II. Despite being at the top of his class in radar school, Prince faced discrimination in the Navy. He was passed up for opportunities to serve on ships several times before finding a position on a Naval ship. During his time onboard, Prince taught his fellow crew members algebra and geometry, thus earning their respect and admiration. After his time in the Navy, Prince attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he majored in physics. He then went on the University of Cincinnati where he earned his doctoral degree in physics. In 1966, he joined Brookhaven Laboratory as a nuclear scientist in the data evaluation management group. It was here that he developed the accepted method for the analysis of deformed nuclei.
Prince retired from the Lab in 1993. After his retirement, he was heavily involved in the recruitment of African-American postdocs and assistant scientists to Brookhaven. He would attend Black and other minority professional conferences to recruit postdoctoral, research students, and assistant scientists.
Gus Prince's story is one of resilience, hard work, and triumph. We honor his legacy with this scholarship. Learn more.

Q: SIMD Vectors/Matrices in Java? I'm writing a graphics library in Java, primarily for use in game development.  It needs basic vector and matrix objects for use in 3D calculations, and ideally those objects would employ SIMD operations.  Although Java doesn't provide such operations directly, it is possible to hint to the JVM to use them in the context of large arrays.  Hence...
Can the JVM vectorize operations on vector-like objects?  If so, how can I ensure that this happens?
To clarify: I need operations on small, statically sized objects, not variable-length arrays.  E.g., matrices that are strictly 3x3 or 4x4, vectors that are strictly of length 4, etc.  Vectorization of large, variable-length arrays has already been discussed.
Some example candidates for vectorization:
public class Vector4f
{
    public int x, y, z, w;

    public void madd(Vector4f multiplicand, Vector4f addend)
    {
        this.x = this.x * multiplicand.x + addend.x;
        this.y = this.y * multiplicand.y + addend.y;
        this.z = this.z * multiplicand.z + addend.z;
        this.w = this.w * multiplicand.w + addend.w;
    }

    public float dot(Vector4f other)
    {
        return this.x * other.x
             + this.y * other.y
             + this.z * other.z
             + this.w * other.w;
    }
}

public class Matrix44f
{
    public float m00, m01, m02, m03;
    public float m10, m11, m12, m13;
    public float m20, m21, m22, m23;
    public float m30, m31, m32, m33;

    public void multiply(Matrix44f other) { ... }
    public void transform(Vector4f other) { ... }
    public void andSoOnAndSoForth() { ... }
}

Lotus Motorsport Rally
Lotus Exige R-GT makes its rally debut at Geko Ypres Rally
Lotus has just finished its first rally and initial testing of the new Lotus Exige R-GT, debuting at the 2012 Geko Ypres Rally in Belgium. The new car demonstrates the company's plans to expand into various forms of motorsport.
Development of the awesome Lotus Exige R-GT is still continuing, with the company only having around 1000km of testing under its belt. The recent Geko Ypres Rally gave Lotus a chance to test setups and various mechanical elements of the car in real-world rally conditions; the Geko Ypres Rally is regarded as one of the toughest tarmac rallies in the world.
Lotus R-GT driver Bernardo Sousa drove the car during the 18 stages of the rally. He will also pilot the Exige in the FIA European Rally Championship later this year, as well as the Intercontinental Rally Challenge. Sousa said,
"Here in Ypres progress has been steady and significant. The great potential of the Exige R-GT is emerging day after day.
"In this phase the team and I are trying to achieve the highest reliability and are only relatively interested in the stage times, even if I must say that the car is proving to be faster every day."
The Lotus Exige R-GT is powered by the same 3.5-litre V6 Toyota engine as the production model, producing 225kW of power. The racing version is fitted with a 34mm restricted intake to remain inside FIA rules. It also features various lightweight highlights (kerb weight 1200kg), such as Lexan windows, as well as a roof scoop, and a full roll cage.
Lotus will be showcasing the car at this weekend's Goodwood Festival of Speed, before undergoing further testing in mid-July. This is an exciting time for Lotus, and Lotus fans, as this is the first time the company has competed in rally at a high level since 1981.

Are you planning to launch your own mobile app? Seeing the growing demand for smartphones and mobile apps, it is a great idea to enter the mobile market and cater to the needs of a wider audience. But, can you afford the mobile app development cost?
As per the market research, the app development cost varies from $25,000 to $2,500,000, which is undoubtedly a significant amount. And a barrier for many startups and enterprises not able to pay this huge amount. Do you count yourself in this list? If so, this article is apt for you.
In this article, we will look into different proven ways to reduce the mobile app development cost and thus, make a profitable deal.
By putting your best efforts into market research, you can validate your app idea which means you won't have to regret later for wasting your money and time on an unwanted app idea. Besides, you can understand what your target audience needs and can pick the best features, functionalities and technologies for your app development plan. Furthermore, you can also learn the tips to hire the right app development company and thus, ensure a successful return.
All the app development platforms have their own specification and thus the cost. So, deciding what platform you want to entertain, rather than building an app for all the platforms will again help you to save funds to be invested in the app development process.
By building a mobile app design, you can get a clarity of what features you need to consider for app development as well as how the app flow will be. This helps you to look into the possible challenges along with ensuring that you and the hired team remain on the same page. And thus, you get the best optimal mobile application development services.
Outsourcing is yet another proven way to cut down the mobile app development cost. The cost to create an app, as shown in the image below, is lower in Asian countries when compared to the USA. So, prefer to get your app developed by developers from these regions. However, avoid hiring someone with contrasting time zone, as this would affect your communication level.
The cost to develop a mobile app depends majorly on the app development company you choose. If you hire different companies offering individual application development services, it is likely that you will have to spend more into the hiring, communication, and other associated processes. But, in case you find a single app partner that provides all the services as well as creative advice, you can develop a mobile app faster and with better features.
Also, consider the right balance of experience and cost. Neither go with a cheaper app development company, nor hire a large-scale app development agency. This will empower you to deal with the challenges associated to app development and launch your app, without making a hole in your pocket.
The cost to develop a mobile app can be measured in terms of time and resources invested. If you could somehow reduce the time or resources required for the development, you can easily cut down the app cost.
One such way is to code reusability. By suggesting the developers to reuse the existing code wherever possible, you can give them an escape from writing the codes from scratch, which can reduce the app cost by 30%. Besides, you can also turn towards mobile app development frameworks and plugins for faster and effortless development process.
Rather than launching a fully-fledged app, focus on an MVP (Minimum Viable Product). Being the smallest, functional version of your app, an MVP can help you to test your app idea and understand what to improve in your existing idea to make it more market-centric and profitable. And that also without spending a hefty amount of money.
The aforementioned are some of the ways to cut down the mobile app development cost and make your brand available on mobile. To get familiar with more, discuss with a mobile app development company today.
Gold & Diwali: Why Invest?


Although not authorized to invest company cash in trades, Steve Perkins, a long standing, senior broker at PVM Oil Futures, had managed to spend $520 million on oil futures contracts throughout the night, the FSA said.
On the morning of the 30th, an admin clerk called Perkins to ask why he had bought 7 million barrels of crude during the night. Perkins had no recollection of the transactions, and it turned out that he had made the trades during a "drunken blackout," according to the FSA.
By the time PVM realized the transactions had not been authorized by a client, they had incurred losses of $9,763,252.
Between the hours of 1:22 a.m. and 3:41 a.m., Perkins gradually bought 69 percent of the global market, while driving prices up from $71.40 to $73.05, by bidding higher each time.
Here's the crazy thing: the authorities only suspended this guy's trading license for five years and said they might give it back if he can prove he's conquered his drinking problem. If this is how the world works how can any one leader be held responsible for the outcome? The inmates are truly running the asylum.
