Introduction: Leptin is a hormone which is related with body weight control and sexual maturation. The role of leptin in gynecological diseases is still unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate levels of leptin in women with benign and malignant tumors of the genital system and to investigate leptin as a potential diagnostic or prognostic marker for the disease course. Material and methods: Ninety – four women aged 24 – 70 years were studied; sixty – three of them were diagnosed with a genital tumor, whereas 31 were healthy controls. The 63 patients were divided in two groups: the first group comprised of 33 women with benign genital tumors and the second group comprised of 30 patients with malignant tumors of ovaries and endometrium. In all participants, serum leptin levels, weight, body mass index (BMI), leptin/BMI ratio, abdominal circumference, and femoral circumference were measured, preoperatively, and 7 days and 2 months postoperatively. Results: Serum leptin levels were statistically significantly increased among women with malignant tumors, in comparison with women with benign tumors and controls, and this difference remained significant 2 months after surgical treatment. Conclusion: Our results indicate that serum leptin levels in women with benign tumors are low, compared with patients with malignant tumors as well as controls. Leptin could be used as a potential diagnostic as well as a prognostic marker in gynecological oncology after further research.
Keywords: leptin, cancer, gynecological oncology

10.4.12 - NBHS Lady Lions vs. Mohawk HS
Images captured during a Section 1A match between the Lady Lions of New Brighton and the Lady Warriors of Mohawk HS held on October 4, 2012 at Mohawk HS in Mt. Jackson, PA. This was a tough game played by both squads in the first half as they went into halftime with the score knotted at 1-1. Some questionable calls plagued the Lady Lions this entire match and they couldn't recover from a brief second half run by Mohawk as they fell to the Lady Warriors 5-2. Next up for the New Brighton will be another Section 1-A match against South Side HS to be held on October 8th at Oak Hill Field in New Brighton, PA. This will be our Senior Night as we celebrate the soccer "careers" of Kiersten Manor and Brooke Sabella. Good Luck Lady Lions!

I'm currently developing a survival game, in which I need databases for various mechanics (Items,Status Effects, Player-Stats, Player-Scores). My main focus at the moment is the item database as I wish to have a randomly generated loot system that is automatically maintained via creation of items using my editor script that serializes items (When creating an item with this script there is a enum for which loot tables the item is featured in, my hope is that I can set this and then the database will be automatically updated).
What I have tried:
Using an XML file that stores basic info of items and also the path to the item in the resources folder. I decided this was a bad idea when through my research I learnt that using Resources.Load() is an extremely inefficient way to manage and load assets.
I tried using the XML serialization feature to serialize the info of my item scripts as seen here. My reason for not using this is because I don't understand how to use this in relation to actual in game assets without using Resources.Load().
I'm currently considering just using a script in game that holds an array of game objects the problem with this is that every time I add an Item I will have to manually add it to this list (Unless there is some sort of editor script I can run).
So what I need help with is:
What is the most effective way to manage a large collection of prefabs whilst being able to sort, quickly access and instantiate them from the list?
Is having a list or array of game objects held on a script less computationally expensive then using the resources.load feature?
Any help would be much appreciated thanks.

Another important thing (if not the most important thing) to look for when choosing fabric for your clothing projects is the weight . Fabric weight means how thick/heavy a fabric is, and the weight you choose depends on what you are making and the feel you want for your garment. It's a personal choice, but it also has to be practical. The different weights can be referred to as top-weight, bottom-weight, very light, light, medium and heavy.
Gabby came out purple and limp. Doctors stabilised her in the neonatal intensive care unit and then began a battery of tests. Within days the Williamses knew their new baby had lost the genetic lottery. Her brain s frontal lobe was smooth, lacking the folds and grooves that allow neurons to pack in tightly. Her optic nerve, which runs between the eyes and the brain, was atrophied, which would probably leave her blind. She had two heart defects. Her tiny fists couldn t be pried open. She had a cleft palate and an abnormal swallowing reflex, which meant she had to be fed through a tube in her nose. They started trying to prepare us that she probably wouldn t come home with us, John says. Their family priest came by to baptise her.
If you're willing to get up very early and dress quite warm, this is worth it. I really enjoyed the sunrise view and the park rangers were excellent.

Keeping only the clothes that give me a spark of joy has allowed me to relinquish items that I've been keeping out of one kind of guilt or another —that I bought something and never really wore it, because someone else gave it to me, or because it's wasteful to get rid of something that's perfectly 'good.'

I love the soft feel of clothes that come out of the dryer. I also love the fresh smell of line dried clothes. What I do is hang the clothes to dry, then pop them in the dryer for about 10 minutes with a damp wash cloth/towel to soften them. This saves electricity also since I have an electric dryer.

This is very true. However being a person from the mountains in the west and now living in the city on the east. I don t feel as foolish wearing my ski jacket and hat when people are using umbrellas to cover themselves from the snow that never even sticks to the ground. You can spot the posers, but then again maybe I look foolish to them. But I still don t have to carry an umbrealla around wherever I go. FACE!

They're attracting all the investor interest because each company is trying to fill a void left by the big online retail incumbents. Though Amazon is deeply entrenched in almost every product category in e-commerce, and eBay rules resale, many consider fashion their most vulnerable segment, whether new or used. Amazon and eBay thrive as near-boundless vending machines, where customers search for anything and everything. Fashion is built on meticulous curation.

Since mid 2013 we've had outages lasting for anywhere from 3 hours to 36 hours at least once a month. We lose it when it's hot, we lose it when there's a storm, we lose it when it's cold. Today it's raining so yep we lost the connection at 2:30 and it won't be back until 6:30.
To deal with this we now have a backup ISP - cell service from T-Mobile. Not a bad deal for ocassional use. We have one of our computers configured as a bridge and voila, it's a shared connection for everyone in the office.
So here's my question, who's your backup provider? Do people have better luck with DSL?
I figure this is a regional issue as opposed to a terrible provider, but if Comcast can't get its stuff together for middle of the central business district in Chicago, where does it work?
Hello mjc,
You might want to check this out as a backup and/or dedicated implementation.
I haven't been having any trouble with my Comcast DOCSIS business service in quite a long time but when I do, I use Verizon Wireless LTE for backup. I am fortunate to have a grandfathered unlimited data plan with them. Of course, this only works for outgoing IP connections, so it is not much of a solution, but it is better than nothing when there is trouble with the Comcast service.

Anyone wanting to take a crash course in the late 1960's
Pop-Rock counterculture could do worse than to check out
the 2002 Criterion release "The Complete Monterey Pop
Festival," a three-DVD set which also includes an
informative 61-page booklet.
Disc One is the longest disc by far and contains roughly five
hours of footage, including commentaries by Lou Adler and
filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker, not to mention interviews with
festival producer John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas,
Cass Elliot, David Crosby, and others.
Disc Two includes what is supposedly Jimi Hendrix's entire,
46-minute set and Otis Redding's 19-minute set, along with
commentaries about both of these icons by noted critics,
Charles Shaar and Peter Guralnick, and an interview with
Otis Redding's manager from 1959 to 1967.
For me, the Hendrix set on Disc Two was probably the
high point of these discs. Jimi Hendrix was a new commodity
in America in June 1967, and he clearly hit the festival like
a thunderbolt. Nobody had seen anyone like him at the
time, and he literally changed the musical landscape.
The last 20 minutes of the main film featured an outstanding
performance by Ravi Shankar.
Although the actual 80-minute "Monterey Pop" film has been
available for years, Disc Three of this set includes additional
footage of bands that weren't in the movie, such as The Byrds,
Laura Nyro, Buffalo Springfield (minus Neil Young, but with
David Crosby), The Electric Flag, Quicksilver Messenger
Service, The Association, and others. This disc also has extra
performance footage of bands that were featured in the film,
including The Who, Simon and Garfunkel, Big Brother and the
Holding Company, and Jefferson Airplane.
There's even a bonus feature on this disc of Tiny Tim singing,
while accompanying himself on his ukulele. It lasts roughly
10 ½ minutes, and is recommended only for those who must
literally watch EVERYTHING in this set, because it's atrocious!
In his commentary, D.A. Pennebaker mentioned that the
filming process was primitive at the time of this Festival. They
had to change the film stock every 20 minutes or so, and there
was no "template" for shooting such an event. That being
said, I think that he and his crew did a relatively good job.
The sound was quite decent, considering the equipment
available, and Eddie Kramer provided an updated audio mix
for this package.
This three-disc set contains roughly 10 hours of audio and
visual footage. Although many of the 32 acts, such as Lou
Rawls and The Grateful Dead were not included in this set,
I believe that we should be happy about the acts that were
featured. The Zeitgeist of this era came through loud and
clear, and this set is highly recommended.

Belgium prepares shopkeepers to foil terror attacks
Belgium's Ministry of Economy is preparing guidelines for shopkeepers across the country to enhance cooperation with police on spotting customers suspected of planning terror attacks.
'Shopkeepers are asked to report thefts, disappearances of products or purchases in abnormal quantities,' Belgian Economy Ministry spokesman Etienne Mignolet said on Thursday, adding, 'If there is a suspicious transaction, shopkeepers are urged to inform the police.'
Mignolet added that the main objective behind the scheme 'is to stop the criminal use of homemade explosives.'
The ministry is reportedly preparing a pamphlet, which is going to be published in the next few weeks, to instruct owners of businesses such as pharmacies, paint shops and hardware stores how to react to a suspicious situation when, for instance, a customer is buying a large quantity of products that could be used to make homemade explosives.
The government says the new measures are aimed at seeking the help of business owners in foiling potential terror attacks, but reports say shopkeepers could be fined up to 600,000 euros (over 673,900 dollars), or face a prison sentence of between one and five years if they fail to notify police about transactions involving suspicious customers buying chemicals, or paying via an unusual method or refusing to provide proof of identity or address.
Trade unions have criticized the new measure, with the UCM, a group representing independent business owners and small businesses, saying it is not the duty of shopkeepers to 'catch terrorists.'
'They need to be focusing on giving good service… Business owners have a relationship of trust with their customers which shouldn't be compromised,' Jonathan Lesceux, a UCM member said, adding, 'It's not for shopkeepers to determine if their customer is a terrorist or not.'
Belgium has witnessed terrorist attacks in the past months.
On March 22, assaults in the capital Brussels killed more than 30. The attacks were carried out using explosives made from chemical products that had been bought from stores. Terrorists used similar explosives in November 2015 attacks in Paris, France. Most of the 130 victims died in blasts.
Acetone, fertilizer and sulphuric acid are among products that are treated as suspicious if purchased in large quantities. - Press TV.

Hey angels,
I like to switch up my hairstyles just as much as I do with my makeup and clothes – you've just gotta jazz things up now and then right?. With the Mark Hill Pick N Mix Wand it allows you to do just that!
I thought it was going to be more expensive than it actually was, so I was pleasantly surprised. The Mark Hill Pick N Mix Wand is amazing, it allows you to switch up your looks whenever you like and the different wands you can purchase separately are amazing as there is so many.
I purchased mine from Boots, the Pick N Mix Wand retails for £11.99 (was £14.99) and I purchased the cork screw curl barrel which also retails for £11.99 (was £14.99). As you can see its super affordable and the versatility of the product makes it even more worth while.
So the wand itself has a twist lock system so once you attach the desired barrel you can lock it into place so it doesn't come loose, it also has a swivel cord which is fab so it makes it easy when your curling different parts of your hair, it moves with you and it also comes with a heat protection glove … although I wouldn't really call it a glove , when I first got mine I pulled it out of the box and just stared at it with confusion like what the hell am I supposed to do with this haha! I curl my hair without this on though.
The cork screw barrel is a 13mm so it gives you those super tight curls which look amazing when you pull the curls apart as it makes them super fluffy! On the barrel itself it has a cool tip at the top so it doesn't burn you. It heats up super quick so you don't need to wait for long, I like to take small sections of my hair as I have thin hair and literally hold it for 5-6 seconds and let go and it gives you the perfect curl.
The barrels you can get for this are:
- Mermaid Waver.
- Easy Curl Barrel.
- Glam Waver Barrel.
- Extra Long Barrel.
- Small Curl Barrel.
- Medium Barrel.
- Ellipse Waver Barrel.
- Wicked Waver Barrel.
So as you can see there is something for everyone – I do want to go ahead and purchase all of them but I don't think I will do it all in one go, that would be a bit excessive ha! I will however purchase maybe a couple at a time but I definitely want to get the whole set.
If you guys have any of these barrels, which ones do you have and which ones are your favourite – Leave me a comment down below and we can have a chat about it =)
Thanks so much for reading guys and ill speak to you all very soon ♥

Urban Central Sounds
Firstly I was impressed with how quickly you responded to my initial enquiry and any questions I had after that.You were brilliant in catering for my 13 year old daughters party, absolutely made it in fact. It was great that she could email you her favourite music choices and you added your own that suited the party. The lighting and music was great and also the respect you had for the venue. I know that there was a noise limit that may have been difficult to accommodate, but you did it.The thing that I was most surprised about was that you took the time to visit the venue in your own time before hand without us knowing to ensure that you would get it right. You were both fun professional and friendly. Any one who can get 13 year old boys up and dancing like that gets my vote.Thank you so much for a great night, Karen Steve and especially Leah x More...

Special Sauce: Writer and Illustrator Maira Kalman on Room Service and Moments of Joy
I don't know how many serious eaters have heard of the brilliant, food-loving, and thought-provoking artist and writer Maira Kalman, but I've been a huge fan of hers for a long time now. So when I heard that she had recently co-written (with Barbara Scott-Goodman) and illustrated a cookbook, Cake, I knew I had to have her on Special Sauce.
Kalman worked with her late husband, Tibor, at the influential M & Co. design firm, where she worked on projects such as magazine covers and album design for David Byrne, and eventually took over the business. She's also the author and/or illustrator of many books, including Beloved Dog, And the Pursuit of Happiness, and The Principles of Uncertainty, and she famously provided the art for a new edition of The Elements of Style. As an artist, Kalman seeks to represent joyful, meaningful moments: "All comfort is temporary. We know that to be a fact. But when you understand that, then you can really allow yourself to look at those moments during the day, and they become very important, and they're very shining moments.... And I think those are the happiest moments that people have, when you're alone and a fleeting something happens, and you feel a sense of joy. So, I'm looking for those."
Having established that she's passionate on the subject of food, we talked about Kalman's ideal setting for a meal: "Room service breakfast in bed. Let's start with the basics. Usually, I've spent time traveling a lot, and I order breakfast in bed because I want to see how they serve it and what the dishes are and what's the tray in, what's the napkin, and I photograph it, and I do drawings, and I've done pieces for magazines. So, it's professional on my part. It's professional research. But I adore all the trappings of table settings and what goes around it. I would like to work in a hotel. I worked as a maid in an Irish castle for a few weeks, and that was heaven. I can see doing that. I'd like to get a job in a hotel, serving somebody else breakfast."
In this episode, you'll hear (in great detail) about what she'd serve for that hotel breakfast, plus why she dislikes dinner parties and her special love for chairs that have been abandoned on the street. Next week, we'll get into Kalman's new book, Cake, but this week's conversation will provide plenty of sustenance in the meantime.
Special Sauce is available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play Music, Soundcloud, Player FM, and Stitcher. You can also find the archive of all our episodes here on Serious Eats and on this RSS feed.

Send us the whole story at [email protected].
Ed Levine: Welcome to Special Sauce, Serious Eats' podcast about food and life. Every week on Special Sauce we talk to some of the leading lights of American culture, food folks and non-food folks alike.
Maira Kalman: I like the moments.
EL: And it's only when we try to extend them that we get into trouble.
MK: Like a dinner party.
EL: Right.
MK: Right? Who needs that? How long can you sit and make conversation with people? How long? I think it's torture.
EL: This week, we are very excited to welcome artist, writer, illustrator, and above all, thinker and provocateur, Maira Kalman. Maira is the author of many books, including Beloved Dog, And the Pursuit of Happiness and The Principles of Uncertainty. She's the illustrator of Michael Pollan's Food Rules in hardcover, which I didn't even know because I only have the soft covers.
MK: It's after the fact.
EL: Yeah, exactly. And, the bestselling edition of the writers' Bible, The Elements of Style by William Strunk and E.B. White. Maira's work is shown at the Julie Saul Gallery Manhattan and has been collected for various museum exhibits and shows all over the country. A lot of them I've seen by the way. She has co-written illustrated the new book Cake. Welcome to Special Sauce, that multi-talented, prolific, and apparently food-obsessed Maira Kalman.
MK: Thank you very much, good to be here.
EL: I'm going to start with the first question I ask everybody on Special Sauce which is, tell me about life at the Kalman family table growing up.
MK: Well, there are different Kalman family tables. As a child, there was a lot of silence. There were different parts of the family, but my immediate family, there was a lot of silence. It was a lot of tension. And so, maybe not the most glowing memories on Earth. I had a larger family, extended family in Israel, which was very boisterous and fantastic with all the women, wonderful cooks, wonderful bakers and a lot of celebration and a lot of getting together and just talking and talking and talking. So, there were two very distinct features of my childhood.
EL: Even in Israel, like in Tel Aviv?
MK: Right. Well, what happened was that we left Tel Aviv when I was four. So, New York was a different tone, and going back to visit the family was a much warmer, lovelier, livelier tone.
EL: Tell me about the Tel Aviv extended family meals. What were you eating?
MK: We were eating a mix of Eastern European cooking—schnitzels and heavy meat dishes, even in a place like Israel where it was hot so much of the time. But of course, that culture was brought from Belarus and those dishes were blintzes and all of those Jewish cooking. And then there was the Middle Eastern eggplant and salads and fish, the beautiful bounty of the Middle East. So, they intersected in this really wonderful way.
EL: And people were baking their old bread and everything?
MK: Everything, everything. But of course, as in life in the city, there's a wonderful person down the block with the little bake shop. So, okay, we'll make things a little bit easier. The women worked like beasts both in Belarus and in Israel. Shopping and cooking and slaving away really from morning till night but never complaining, which is also kind of amazing.
EL: In New York, your mother, was she serious about cooking?
MK: Well, I don't know if serious is the right word, but we had to eat and somebody had to make it and it was my mother, of course. But we did go out to restaurants a lot, and that was another aspect of life. Because in Israel, nobody thought of going out to a restaurant. And here, there was the experience of finding out what a basket of rolls was like at Patricia Murphy's. Or going to Chock Full o'Nuts, you're going to fancy restaurants and really my ideal life. I'd live in a hotel and I go to restaurants every night. There's nothing at home at all. But my mother was a wonderful cook. She made eight things very well and stuck to them.
EL: So, there was a rhythm to the meal plan at your house.
MK: There was a rhythm. I don't know what there was. It happened. As a child, you don't ask who's making it, where's it coming from, it just appears and there you are.
EL: What was the conversation like at that table?
MK: Well, in New York, the conversation as I said was not so much. My parents were not a happy couple. And so, that probably translated into a stiffer kind of situation. I always had a good sense of humor, so I was the funny jokester.
EL: You could break the mood.
MK: I could try to break the mood. I broke the mood for myself. I don't know what everybody else was thinking. I don't even want to go there. Let's leave. This is going to be very dark show about sad memories.
EL: I have this picture in my mind of you, even as a child in New York, just madly sketching away and writing phrases in a notebook, even as a child, no matter what was going on around you. Is that what it was like or am I just conjuring that front out of nowhere?
MK: You're good conjurer. I was a very outgoing happy-go-lucky child, and when I was about seven or eight, I thought I was going to be a writer. So, I didn't have journals or sketchbooks, I just would sit down and write stories. I read Pippi Longstocking and I thought, "That's it, I'm going to be a writer. This is my kind of job." My sister was the artist, so we kind of divided our turf. And then when I became disenchanted with my writing, I thought, "Well, what would be a great narrative way to tell a story and to do it sort of in a funnier, happier way?" Saul Steinberg had a great influence on me at the time that I said, "You can really do cartoon and art and words and there's a place to do this."
EL: Right. For people who don't know, Saul Steinberg is amazing graphic artist, I guess, or artist in general, and he did the famous New Yorker cover where everything beyond the Hudson was ... I had that poster framed, I think in college.
MK: Right. I think we all did. So, the sense of humor and pathos in the work was really something that struck me. I said, "You don't have to always be funny, and you can switch between being serious and being playful." That really became ... And of course, you know children's books have that combination also. So, I started to paint more seriously and became an illustrator because I loved books and magazines and I thought, "This is a wonderful job to have. I'm not an artist, I'm an Illustrator."
EL: Well, you may think you're an illustrator. I kind of think you're an artist and I think you're a really wonderful writer. You're almost writing haikus when you write. It's interesting that you mentioned that combination of sort of optimism and pathos in Steinberg's work, because I also think about that a lot in your work. There are moments like there's that line that you wrote that I just read again, which is watching someone eat soup breaks your heart. That's poetry, and it's incredibly resonant. And there's pathos there, obviously, but there's also you're hinting at the comfort that someone may be only getting temporarily from the soup.
MK: All comfort is temporary. We know that to be a fact. But when you understand that, then you can really allow yourself to look at those moments during the day and they become very important and they're very shining moments. So, it's not just a big passing mush. It's really, what are the important moments? They can seem so insignificant, but they're really splendid and give you ... And I think those are the happiest moments that people have when you're alone and a fleeting something happens, and you feel a sense of joy. So, I'm looking for those.
EL: Eric Dolphy was a beautiful clarinetist, flutist and he once said something about, "Once you hear some music, it's over and it can never be recovered. That moment. That moment of just intense beauty." That's really what you're talking about, right?
MK: Yeah, it is.
EL: It is by definition fleeting.
MK: It is fleeting. And then you have to understand that all of that, all of it is fleeting and embrace that.
EL: Yeah. You've said that food is a subject that you're crazy about.
MK: Room service breakfast in bed. Let's start with the basics. Usually, I've spent time traveling a lot and I order breakfast in bed because I want to see how they serve it and what the dishes are and what's the tray in, what's the napkin and I photograph it and I do drawings and I've done pieces for magazines. So, it's professional on my part. It's professional research. But I adore all the trappings of table settings and what goes around it. I would like to work in a hotel. I worked as a maid in an Irish castle for a few weeks, and that was Heaven. I can see doing that. I'd like to get a job in hotel, serving somebody else breakfast.
EL: Serving somebody else breakfast. What is on your ... If you were to construct your perfect room service breakfast, what would it be?
MK: Well, the linen would be fantastically well starched. It would be beautiful. It would be white. It would be impeccable. And then there would be a beautiful pot of coffee in some kind of silver pitcher that keeps it hot. And then the food would be what? Croissants, lemon pound cake, maybe a few poached eggs.
EL: Perfectly poached eggs. I like this. This is a very unusual but-
MK: Jam.
EL: Okay.
MK: That's so far so good.
EL: That's delicious.
MK: Fruit.
EL: Fruit. All right.
MK: I'm having to bring a bigger platter to my bed. Now, they're rolling a cart in and saying, "Where should we put this?"
EL: And how do you take your coffee?
MK: With a splash of half and half.
EL: A splash half and half, no sugar.
MK: No.
EL: I watched the short promotional film you did about collaborating with Michael Pollan, illustrating the hardcover edition of Food Rules. You said that you had to explain to Michael and maybe you had to rationalize this, that Cheez Doodles played an important part in your family history.
MK: I was very worried that if he found out that I ate Cheez Doodles, the deal is off. But it was interesting because I wasn't kidding. I thought, "Oh-oh, I better really tell him this whole Cheez Doodle thing."
EL: What happened, because I had a similar experience with him. Because yeah, you're like, "Yeah, Michael Pollan. He's like the Chief Justice of the food police."
MK: Hide the Snickers. Hide the Snickers bars. He's a very sweet man. He's forgiving and understanding. No, it wasn't a problem.
EL: It wasn't a problem.
MK: And I got to do a painting of a Cheez Doodle, so hurrah for that.
EL: You've also described food as being a lot of things. Celebratory, ritual, families fighting, memories.
MK: I say, of course, what else is there? I don't mean what else is there besides food, but I think people think about food a tremendous amount of the time. We're always trying to figure out what's the next meal going to be.
EL: It's funny but I had a radio show on WNYC a long time ago, and it was Nora Ephron and Calvin Trillin and Ruth Reichl and I said to Nora Ephron, "So, like what is food mean to you?" And she said, "Besides love?"
MK: Right, exactly. Yeah.
EL: It was like, and she was just like that's so obvious to her, and she loved food too, obviously.
MK: She did, right.
EL: I can imagine you two must have known each other at least a little and hang out.
MK: A little bit.
EL: There was just like, "oh, yeah, dodo head, besides love?" I was like, "Let's start there." You posed a question in another one of your books which was, do dogs eat when they're depressed? It's because you love dogs. You probably even remember all the stuff I'm-
MK: I'm just like a different person sitting here.
EL: Oh, wait. No, no, no, it was really you. Because you love dogs and you just posed this question, made me laugh. And then I started thinking about our beagle who passed away a few years ago. Actually, I don't think he was ever depressed. Because he had no reason to be depressed.
MK: Right. Why would he be? He's a beagle.
EL: He was a beagle. He ate everything, and he was a genius beagle so he could nudge the chair next to the counter, so he could get things on top of the fridge, because he had to get to the counter and then do his dolphin thing and go up and over and get it. And then, this is what he would do that would make him definitely the recipient of MacArthur genius award is that he'd take the bagel, and he would go to precisely the center underneath our bed, so we couldn't get it.
MK: Oh, I thought you were going to say that he would take the bagel and cut it in half and put cream cheese on it perfectly.
EL: Now that would be awesome. But, no.
MK: Wouldn't that be great to imagine? But no, yeah.
EL: But he went to our bed and then to a place we couldn't get to before he can eat the bagel.
MK: Right. A little privacy, please.
EL: Exactly. It's just like I'm on the modified American plan at your house. So, he was never depressed. It's like I just don't know. Sometimes dogs look sad, but I think it's just because of their eyes and their faces rather than their real emotion. I mean, they're sad when you leave, obviously.
MK: They say they are.
EL: Right. Thanks.
MK: Who knows what they really are?
EL: You've also said, I do have to bring up all these things, you're like, "Why is he bringing all this stuff up?" But you said, "I'd like to own a food cart and sell donuts and rubber bands." And I didn't know what donuts had to do with rubber bands.
MK: Just different objects of affection. The sort of the basic elements of life that you need. I had a little cart. I had a little stand where I sold rubber bands in Chinatown and I have pop up shops where I do sell the things-
EL: Really?
MK: Yeah. I have pop up shops at McNally Jackson for instance.
EL: Uh-huh. That was right near at our old office, our Serious Eats office on Grand Street.
MK: This is on Prince Street. So, I like the entrepreneurial moments of collecting the things that seem really small and unimportant. Again, it's really the same thing as collecting emotional moments for observing emotional moments that they're like, oh, this is really ... You probably really need a rubber band and you probably really need a donut and I will sell it to you and I will have money. Obviously not much money, but some money.
EL: Right. Really, I don't know what the margins would be on rubber bands and-
MK: I think they're steep, but we'll look into it.
EL: We'll look into it.
MK: Yeah.
EL: You also want said that you wanted to, you've had fantasies ... That this makes sense that you're telling me about pop-ups, that you want to have a food truck or a food cart.
MK: Some kind of cart, yeah. Some kind of traveling. When the bookstores on Fifth Avenue, we were working at Barnes and Noble at the time, my late husband and I. One of the things that I wanted to do was push a cart of books through Central Park and he said, "That's a little bit laborious. Why don't we come up with something better?" So, he got in touch with the Strand, and there's the three bookstores on Fifth Avenue across from the Pierre.
EL: Right.
MK: Yeah. 59th.
EL: Right. Oh, from the plaza.
MK: Yes. So, 59th and 5th.
EL: Right.
MK: That sense of interacting in a very quick, these short-lived experiences interactions, conversations, I like them a lot.
EL: You're a big fan of moments. Aren't you?
MK: I like the moments.
EL: It's an interesting concept, because in a way you've said, and I agree when I read what you wrote that that's all we have. It's like it's a series of moments, and it's only when we try to extend them unnaturally that we get into trouble.
MK: Right. Like a dinner party.
EL: Right.
MK: Right? Who needs that?
EL: You mean because it should just be a moment of eating a cookie.
MK: It's too long. How long can you sit and make conversation with people? How long? I think it's torture.
EL: And it's totally unnatural. This what I try to tell my wife because she loves to throw dinner parties. I never really put my finger on it before, but I think you've hit on it. It's just like they seem to go on a long time.
MK: Interminable. I also like to be in bed by nine, so that makes my dinner party life really .... No, I like to be in bed by eight.
EL: By eight?
MK: I like to. I'm not sleeping today, but by eight I'm thinking what's the point?
EL: Are you an early-morning creative person?
MK: Yes. I'm very early morning walker in Central Park and then getting to work. I'm willing to live the morning hours, but the night hours make me very unhappy.
EL: You have said, "If you want to take me on a fantastic date, take me to a supermarket on a Saturday night."
MK: You said it, let's do it. The supermarket is a place of such endless interest both in terms of product design, typography, language. It's just endlessly fantastic and there are always new products there, people are always trying to figure out how to package the next, I don't know what.
EL: Ketchup.
MK: Sardines. But something, anything, everything, and it just I really love the endeavor of people trying to figure out how to make these products, how to sell you these products and there's, from a place that doesn't have much choice to a place that has ridiculous choice.
EL: You really love packages.
MK: I do. I collect packages and boxes and things. I think that they are an opportunity for photography and illustration. Again, the most wonderful phrases and sentences, the most ridiculous meaningless things that people think will interest you in buying the product. So, we're all trying to do that with whatever it is that we're doing. We're trying to figure out what's the best way to present this thing so that you might want it. And also, I just, I don't know, I like the lighting, I like the music, which is often terrible. Sometimes they sell bouncing ... They have other things they sell you like bouncing balls, which I always buy, or shoes. Not only shoes, flip flops maybe.
EL: T-shirts, flip flops, they're definitely flip flops.
MK: It's your whole life in one shop.
EL: Has anyone ever taken you up on that?
MK: We do that all the time.
EL: Really?
MK: Yeah.
EL: You really just go, and you hang?
MK: Of course, yeah. We also go to the Met, and I'll only hang out in supermarkets. But I said the Metropolitan Museum happens to be another kind of supermarket actually.
EL: You're an artist with so many talents. You work in so many different media. What inspires you? How do you decide what project to work on? Is it whatever comes your way or is it things that you initiate?
MK: At this point, I'm initiating most of the projects. So, if somebody contacts me and I like it and it's interesting, I'll respond. It's always been a mix of those things. In the beginning, I had to take on more work than I may have wanted to just because you need to in the beginning. The only real, real driver is instinct. What else do you have? What's interesting, what you think you love. People, I don't want to work with people I don't like. I don't want to work with people who have ethical feelings different than mine.
EL: Values.
MK: Values. Thank you. Values, senses of humor, kind. So, it's a big decision to embark on a project. But at this point, the editors I work with, my agent, Charlotte Sheedy, they're all people who I respect tremendously, and I can talk about what is this thing that I'm thinking about? What's this next project?
EL: Yeah. It's a wonderful place to get to and a lot of people don't ever get there.
MK: That's a shame, because it's a really incredible place to be.
EL: Were there moments where you're like, "I'm not going to get there. I'm sick of doing this work with people that I don't really want to be working with." Everyone obviously goes through periods like that.
MK: Right. In a daily kind of, "Oh is this working out, am I really liking this?" But in the bigger picture I don't. I've never thought, "Oh, I should have." Well, there is ... I was going to say I should have been a ballerina. But now I'm dancing in a ballet. So, what can I tell you?
EL: Yeah. I want to hear about this, you're doing dance project. I don't know what to call it, a performance.
MK: Performance piece.
EL: Tell us about that.
MK: I was the duck in Isaac Mizrahi's production of Peter and the Wolf at the Guggenheim, and the choreographer was John Heginbotham, who used to be a dancer for Mark Morris. So, we had been friends for quite a while and he said we should work on something together. And so, we created a piece that's very impressionistic of the principles of uncertainty, which performed it BAM last fall, Jacob's Pillow, we just came back from Bulgaria the big time.
EL: Wow. Does it make you nervous getting on stage and dancing?
MK: Yeah, if you call it dancing, that would be probably a stretch. I'm moving some and I'm speaking some, and I'm a presence in on the stage. But now we're working on a new piece, he's actually requiring me to do actual extended-
EL: Movement.
MK: ... movements. Thank you very much, movements. So, I have to gulp. But I think that I'm nervous, but once I'm on the stage and if I can pray that I remember my lines and for one section I embroidered my lines onto my tunic, so there wouldn't be any issue. But it's an extraordinary adventure.
EL: And then especially for you who you claim in your books and you've drawn so many dancers that obviously dancers have held a special fascination for you for a very long time.
MK: I think that movement, everybody moves, and the way that the dance of people walking down the street is extraordinary. Which is a heroic, how do we all manage to walk down the street.
EL: Another moment in a book of yours, where you talk about coming upon a chair that somebody has thrown out is a gift when you're walking in the city.
MK: And there are a lot more chairs that people have thrown out and sofas that people are thrown out than you'd ever imagine. I love chairs, and I think they're also an endless source of interest. The design of them is just ... I have a lot of books about chairs, and I love the idea that there is this fantastic broken old chair that's on the street, it just speaks to me.
EL: I love that. So, did you and your late husband ever work together?
MK: Oh, we worked together all the time.
EL: So M & Co. was bo-
MK: There were people there who were real designers and I was very much behind the scenes, but we met in summer flunk-out class at NYU when we were just 19. So, we were together for 30 years, and the conversation started That day we met and didn't end till he died. Our collaboration was vital for both of us.
EL: Wow. That's a lot of moments in 30 years.
MK: That was a lot of moments, and kids that we made.
EL: And kids. Yeah, which is fantastic. I worked for a company called Fred Allan, and I don't know if you remember, but Fred Seibert hired you at M & Co. to do the MTV logo, right?
MK: Wow. Was it the logo?
EL: I can't remember if it was a logo or it was something else.
MK: And did it work out?
EL: Yes. No, there's nothing. There's no dirty laundry to be aired here.
MK: There could have been. But at any rate, that's good to hear. Right.
EL: I also have, I think through whatever work we did, I have one of the M & CO. watches.
MK: You do? Which one do have? Do you know?
EL: The one with the, what's happening with the numbers?
MK: The numbers are all in different places?
EL: Yes.
MK: Yeah, the Askew.
EL: So, tell people-
MK: My kids learned how to tell time on that clock.
EL: Describe that watch for our listeners.
MK: It's a classic. The designs from M & Co., one of the things that we wanted to do was to do whatever we wanted to do, because that's how we felt about things. I studied literature and Tibor studied history. We both plunged into design an illustration in that world with the naïveté, with an optimistic naïveté, why can't we do whatever we want? So, we decided to design watches and one of them ... They were Swiss made. They were very pristine, very elegant, very minimal.
EL: Beautiful.
MK: But we played with them and the numbers on one particular watch were in different positions, so all the numbers were scrambled. They weren't consecutive. And you really understand that you don't need them to be the numbers. It's really the position. The one that's in the permanent collection at MoMA is the 10 1 4, we took away all the numbers except for the 10 and the one and the four, which are in their proper positions. So, it was a beautiful exercise because both of us came from other countries and we both learned English and we both fell madly in love with all of the vernacular of the American culture, it was easy for us to not take anything for granted.
EL: What's amazing about your work is it's so thoughtful, but there's nothing condescending about it. There's nothing snobbish.
MK: The approach was never to be cynical, never to approach it from a superior point of view or an arrogant point of view. That the whole endeavor is meant to communicate and not to isolate anybody. My desire is to communicate with everybody. Children, adults, dogs, cats not so much. But that sense of we're all in this together. I have a sense of humor. I can use the absurd in a way that you might not, but it's not going to be antagonistic. It's going to be inclusive, it's going to be humanistic towards you. That's how I've always felt. Like an empathy for mankind. Humankind.
EL: Yeah. That's really the other strand, is the sense of empathy. You really do put yourself in other people's shoes.
MK: And I feel sorry for everybody, including myself. We know our phrase; our family phrase is poor. At the end of every day we just go, "Poor everybody. Good night."
EL: I love that.
MK: It's a nice way to end the day, isn't it?
EL: Poor everybody. Good night. Okay.
MK: Yeah.
EL: Now it's time for the Special Sauce all you can answer buffet. You don't have to worry. There's no time and imagine we're just to them M & Co. watch. So, it's just a series of moments. It's just a series of moments.
MK: I love this. Is this like a lightning round?
EL: Yeah, it's a little bit like a lightning round.
MK: Which is exciting.
EL: Who's at your last supper? No family allowed. Dead, living, doesn't matter.
MK: Marcel Proust.
EL: Okay. Marcel Proust. And so, you'd obviously-
MK: Or more people?
EL: Yeah. Four people all together.
MK: Okay. Gertrude Stein, Marcel Proust, Kafka and am I the fourth? Enemy.
EL: No.
MK: And another person?
EL: Yeah, you get another person, but this is quite a table.
MK: Yeah.
EL: It's going to be intense.
MK: I know.
EL: It is not-
MK: I probably believe I will go into the kitchen and not talk to them for the rest of the evening. I'll just serve them. Kafka wanted to be a waiter.
EL: Really?
MK: Yes.
EL: All right. Good. You have one more person.
MK: You know why he wanted to be a waiter?
EL: Why?
MK: Because he wanted to overhear the fleeting conversations of people but being visible. Which I think that's genius.
EL: Yes, it gets back to moments.
MK: Yeah, that's what I want to do.
EL: There's one more person that can be at the table.
MK: One more person.
EL: Gertrude Stein, Kafka, I love this, Proust.
MK: Marcel Proust. My grandmother.
EL: No, no family allowed.
MK: Oh, no family allowed.
EL: Yeah. It could a musician.
MK: A musician. Okay Bach.
EL: Bach. Got it. All right. What are you eating?
MK: Oh, God, what are we eating. Pasta.
EL: Okay. I like that simple. Not too heavily sauced I presume?
MK: I don't know. Now I'm worried about which kind of pasta to serve. What am I going to do?
EL: What would be for dessert?
MK: Pavlova with berries.
EL: Pavlova. Yes, I've seen you draw Pavlova. I like Pavlovas. We should explain, they're meringues essentially, right? And people usually put fruit in them because they're puff meringues.
MK: Yes. So, you put cream in it or lemon crème fraiche or some kind of wonderful cream thing, and then laden it as we like to say. Laden it with berries and some sauce.
EL: So, pasta and Pavlova.
MK: Does that sound like a good dinner? I don't know.
EL: It might need one more thing.
MK: Okay, maybe forget the past and have a veal roast.
EL: I like that.
MK: Okay. Veal roast with potatoes and greens and then the Pavlova.
EL: Got it. I like that. Okay. What are you listening to?
MK: Well, I guess we'd listen to some of one of my guest's music.
EL: But that's too easy.
MK: We're listening to Glenn Gould playing Bach.
EL: Okay. Do you have guilty pleasures when it comes to food? Well, obviously-
MK: Besides Snickers and Cheez Doodles?
EL: Yeah. Cheez Doodles is obviously one.
MK: It's not I mean it's not a guilty pleasure. It's just like bring it on. Chocolate chip mint ice cream. I think I can live on that.
EL: Like just have a pint
MK: Are you talking-
EL: Yeah, that.
MK: Yeah. I wouldn't sit down and have a pint, but I could maybe when I was pregnant, I did. Yes, I did.
EL: All right. I like this chocolate chip. Any others that immediately come to mind? I like Cheetos. You wouldn't have them together.
MK: No, no, no, they're separate pleasures. I do love Snickers.
EL: All right, that's good. So, three books that have profoundly influenced your life and work.
MK: Speak Memory, by Vladimir Nabokov. Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time. Well, we'll say Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking just to round it out and the first book that I read that I went, "I'm going to do this job."
EL: It's interesting about Proust and the Nabokov book, because they are about moments. You're really drawn to artists and writers and musicians that sort of live in the moment.
MK: Well, what's funny about Proust is, boy he doesn't.
EL: Yeah, exactly. Right.
MK: But the looking back-
EL: It's the extended moment.
MK: Right, exactly. The scrutiny of those for 20 pages of a moment is something extraordinary.
EL: Yeah, for sure. So, it's just been declared Maira Kalman day all over the world. What's happening on that day?
MK: A lot of naps are being taken. It's a napping. It's national napping day.
EL: That's good.
MK: What's happening?
EL: Yeah. Well, naps are-
MK: Everybody's walking everywhere. Once you're well rested and you know you're going to have a nap later, everybody's walking everywhere.
EL: Are they dancing?
MK: If they want to. They don't have to be dancing.
EL: They don't have to be dancing.
MK: No. Walking.
EL: Just walking.
MK: The whole everybody's celebratorily walking.
EL: Well, Maira, thanks so much for allowing me to pepper you with questions. I am kind of a fanboy as I've told you, but I feel like we're just getting started here. We haven't even talked about your new book, Cake. So, you're going to stick around to do that with your collaborator Barbara Scott-Goodman. But this is a wrap for this episode of Special Sauce. So long Serious Eaters and thank you Maira. We'll see you next time.
MK: Thank you very much. That was fun.

This post could also have been titled "Ok. I got a job as a Tester. Now what?"
This is the sort of question that I seem to have been asked quite a lot recently. A number of small web agencies sprang up around Sheffield over the past year or so, and they're just getting to the size now where they realise they need an actual tester - not just a PM with a spare 5 minutes to 'have a quick look' at the latest release as it goes out the door. It's great to see a demand for Testers, and even better to see people with the right skills being hired, despite a lack of experience or qualifications.
It's not easy being the only person on your team tho. So this post is basically a link-dump of resources and places to start looking... I've cobbled these links together in various emails when I've been asked by friends and ex-colleagues so it's probably time I compiled them into a blog post for the next person who asks me about it!
