Assos iJ.tiburu.4 Jacket
Our first full-zip long sleeve jersey was made by Assos. It was a closeout, and we felt pretty savvy for the purchase. But, expectantly, the top lasted and lasted.

Assos sJ.blitzFeder Jacket
The rule used to be, start with the shell on, but take it off after warming up and before you start sweating. The rule can now be broken, thanks to the Assos SJ.BlitzFeder Long Sleeve Shell. The fear was that once you started sweating, the shell wouldn't breathe, and your baselayer and jersey ...read more

In my work I'm in contact with West Indians, Pakistanis and Indians, all they want to talk about is the English cricket team. Everyone can't believe how good So why the big change? I'm interested in your thoughts. |

I think apart from the hard work that ENG have put in, Andy Flower has had a big role to play in England's rise. He has identified the right players and backed them to deliver, that is very important. Earlier we used to see so many players turning out for ENG every series and now it is like we already know well in advance what the ENG line up is going to be, that is how stable ENG have become and the bench strength is pretty good too.
Strauss has also been a very good leader, and the self belief of this team has been amazing, they lost Flintoff and Simon Jones to injuries and those two were such good bowlers, their loss was huge but the way ENG have got over it is admirable. They had even dropped Hoggard when he was doing fairly well and Harmison was simply discarded as they knew they have better bowlers out there to do the job.

More professionalism Flipper. It's the exact opposite reason why a West Indies is at the bottom. From watching all those guys just walking into the England team now (the newbies), they don't look like they're new to the game, meaning they look well exposed. That's down to a professional set up with all the county games they play, and the training. Nasser Hussain does talk about the supreme fitness that England have been doing lately. Again, it's why teams like West Indies, Pakistan, India will hardly be #1, professionalism and fitness they don't take too seriously or have.

The systems in place from junior level right up to the test team is first class - something that the ECB can take the credit for. The players that have progressed through the system and into the test side have shown the qualities that Flower sees as vitally important. On the flip side , he also recognises flaws in the make-up of some players and they are told where they fall short. If those areas aren't addressed he's ruthless and those players are discarded. Those faults can be technical , pyschological or physical and all are as important as each other. Samit Patel was told he was unfit and overweight and he was very slow to react to that - he didn't feature in any of Flower's sides until he turned it around. He's still not the fittest of players in the setup , but the improvement in his conditioning is easy to see. Alistair Cook had real problems nicking off to the slips and whilst he wasn't dropped , it was getting close! Real graft in the nets with Gooch straightened him out and we all saw what that hard work brought in Australia. Ravi Bopara is a natural , but maybe mentally he's not been quite there. I think he's playing with more freedom now , the shackles are falling off and we might well see him pushing for Morgan's test place , come the new year.
Mental disintegration works for me !!

And also that it is England first for the players and not the county as it used to be a few years back. This keeps the players fit and ready -and makes the players' management relatively easy.

This current England Team has quality batting line up and can score runs on any kind of Pitches in the world that makes their batting line up best, as well bowling they have best bowlers in the world right now and all of them are capable of taking wickets on regular intervals. Another reason for the teams no1 ranking is their fielding hardly we can see them dropping catches.

No doubt that England's bench strength is clearly way better than any other country at the moment, however I think it is all about having right mix of talented players in different skill who can take different roles needed makes a team a champion team. At the moment England team has all that.The way they are going , looks like unstoppable but none can see whats in store for furtue.
However I think it is really too short a period to come to any conclusion, they have ascended to # 1 spot implies they have played better than any other team in last 12 months that's why they are where they are. Well this is the first part of the story.
Now the second and most important part is, being at #1 and staying there for long considerable time. It is a huge risk at top, blink an eyelid other teams catch you.Staying at # 1 is not a joke.A series draw or loss will peg the team right back, more so if that happens against a lowely ranked team.
I see two challenges ahead for England. First to prove themselves on sub-continent pitches, while the second one a bit easier is next series agaisnt SA and Aus ( they have already done that , but both of them would be hell bent to not to lose to England if not beat them).
Race to No 1 again ... started!

Another thing that's definitely helped is that the system seems to put faith in the players much more than they used to. Nowadays it's very rare that they make any changes in personnel unless forced to through injury. Gone are the days when two poor matches in a row would see you dropped. With the possible exception of Trott, every single player has had a real lean spell at some point in the last couple of years, yet they are rarely, if ever, dropped. The continuity and trust clearly pays dividends and have made the team mentally strong. Form is all about confidence and the current set up seems to be much more patient, which means that good form and confidence is more likely to follow...

England team is one of the best now..They have showed improvements on all forms of cricket...Remember how they beat up India on their on place.They have a pretty good batting lineup and a very strong bowling lineup as well.From the last couple of years they have really come up with excellent fielding performances....i hope they will continue this form through out the year

Only flaw of this English team is the weakness on the dustbowls. It will really be interesting to see SA vs Eng. Finn, Anderson, Broad, Tremlett, Bresnan, vs Steyn, Morkel, De Lange, Philander. There is going to be some serious pace and high quality fast bowling on show, not to mention very classy batsman in Amla, De Villers, Kallis, Trott, KP, Cook etc.

The England has become better team now because both batsmen and bowlers are contributing to the team consistently.

Play OMG! Aliens for Windows Phone and blast 8-bit aliens into oblivion
Here's a fun game to check out. It's called OMG! Aliens and is for both Windows Phone 7 and 8 users. Gameplay is similar to most other 'Space Invader' like games and I'm really digging the 8-bit retro feel, both in aesthetics and music. Browsing the Windows Phone Central forums is a great place to find all sorts of new apps and games you might not otherwise come across. Lurking in there, I found OMG! Aliens and decided to give it a shot. Glad I did.
From the Windows Phone Store: "The wiggly 8-bit aliens clearly have a bad memory. Once in a while they forget that trying to invade Earth is a silly thing to do, and that's exactly the case. Join Doc on his quest to ward hordes of pixellated wannabe conquerors off his planet!" Here are some features of the game you can look forward to:
- An action-packed adventure with a retro arcade feel.
- Three difficulty modes, including a hardcore one.
- Endless random waves put your skills to an ultimate test.
- Four stunning super weapons to blast your way through!
- Over 30 achievements to unlock!
It's straightforward and not too hard to explain the game. It's just like Space Invaders, but just for Windows Phone. The ability to switch between tilt or touch controls was nice. By default you'll be using tilt to control your gun, but I found touch to be more for me.
The price is set at a reasonable $1.50, but includes a trial so you can check it out before buying. Take my word, at the very least do the trial and see what you think of it. I'm having mindless fun with it right now. You can grab the game right here in the Windows Phone Store or use the QR code below.

30 achievements, but not Xbox live? Why on WP then? Sounds more like Android or iOS to me.
AngryNil says:
You realise getting Xbox LIVE status is freaking hard, right? You can't just add XBL achievements to a game you choose to make, Microsoft has to like your game and it has to pass a bunch of other tests.

It usually takes a bit, before it shows up on your Xbox, some times I find that restarting the console helps, but not always works.

I saw this in the forums last night. Nearly bought it. Had it been £0.79, I would have gone for it. Is it any good?
Undead Hexblade says:
I'm sorry, but ever since I got my WP, I buy a lot of games for my phone. Loads more than ever before. Almost all available Xbox games, I've bought. Will Not buy indie games, so to speak. That's for Android & IOS. That's why WP Has Xbox!

randomscandinavian says:
Great looking game but difficult to control comfortably on the slippery Lumia 920 that wants to slide out of my hands when holding it vertically with both hands. Should have had a volume control since the OS doesn't. If that is possible. Not the game's fault. WP8 should have had some sort of volume center with separate levels for alerts, ringtones, speaking volume and music playback.
Alphageek_UK says:
Looks like a fun game, but it seems to need a lot of permissions for a space invaders clone.
Zer0fluX says:
Agreed. I was going to try it until I saw it wanted to access my pictures and videos as well as other data it doesn't need to function.
impworks says:
Hey everyone! I'm really glad you liked my game. Thanks for the awesome review, Sam!
We're looking forward to your comments and suggestions and will do our best to implement them in the updates.
As for the set of permissions mentioned by Alphageek_UK, it's most likely due to Bugsense being used in the game to send crash stacktraces automatically.

WILLIAMSON — Arrest warrants were obtained from Mingo County Magistrate Court for three defendants arrested on physical abuse related charges.
Eddie Dean Whitt Jr., of Matewan, was placed under arrest by Mingo County Sheriff's Department (MCSD) Deputies M.A. Lendearo II and E. Williams on a charge of domestic battery, 2nd offense.
According to the criminal complaint, Whitt struck his wife (Sarah Ann Whitt) in the face during an argument. The officers observed the victim to have whelps, redness and swelling on the right side of her face and on her forehead. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the defendant had a prior conviction of domestic violence on April 5, 2007.
Whitt was arraigned before Magistrate Dee Sidebottom and was remanded to the custody of the Southwestern Regional Jail on a $2,000 bond.
Raymond M. Meade, 40, of Red Jacket, was taken into custody on 1 count each of domestic battery and domestic assault by West Virginia State Police (WVSP) Trooper C.A. Douglas. The complaint states that Miranda Meade, the wife of the defendant and victim in this case, was walking along County Route 6 in Red Jacket when her husband pulled alongside her in his vehicle and engaged her in a verbal dispute.
During the verbal altercation, the defendant acted as though he was going to drive away but instead, swerved his vehicle toward the victim and struck her in the lower leg area, knocking her to the ground. The incident was witnessed by several individuals. Meade then proceeded to flee the scene. The female suffered injuries and was transported by ambulance to an area hospital.
Meade was arrested and then arraigned by Magistrate Sidebottom and was sent to jail on a $2,000 bond.
Matthew Williamson, 28, of Delbarton, was arrested by WVSP Trooper D.M. Williamson on one felony count of child abuse resulting in injury after investigating allegations made by the mother of the child.
The defendant allegedly struck his daughter in the face, bruising her eye. The child also suffered a scratch to the neck, according to the complaint. When questioned as to what happened, the child told the trooper that the defendant was mad at her and struck her in the face. The trooper noted in his report that there was obvious injury to the child's face.
Williamson was arraigned before Magistrate Pam Newsome and was released from custody after meeting the stipulations of his bond.

Social media lets us be ourselves under beer-goggled presumptions that people will accept us for who we are. WRONG!
Avoid committing social media suicide:
Speaking of beer goggles, just as you have been advised not to drink and drive, drunk dial or drunken text, the same rule applies to Twitter, Facebook and all your other outlets:
- Do not drunk tweet your social network. It will be there when you wake up for all the world to see.
As little children our parents taught us to be humble, take things with a grain of salt – not fling it back at those who got us mad:
- Do not throw an online temper tantrum, or call your followers "white trash pseudointellectuals."
While, the internet is a great place to build your image, help you get a job, increase your social network and catch up with old friends, it can also destroy all of that in one simple click:
- Be careful what you say. It takes weeks, months and often years to build a following. It takes a second to alienate them all.
So you have a job and it … sucks. You complain to your friends, your family and anyone who will listen. But understand something, whining about your professional downturns on the internet can be replicated, saved and come back to haunt you with a vengeance. On typical social media outlets (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace etc.) remember to avoid saying or doing anything that can endanger your job — or make people think you've simply lost your bloody mind and get you fired:
- Understand that 99.9% of what you say is 100% public.
You are new to the world of social media. All your friends are jumping on the wagon of "add me†and "follow†so you want to too:
- Do not massively add/follow/friend loads of people in hopes of them adding/following/friending you back, only to un-add/follow/friend them because you want to boost up your numbers. Social media is about sharing and communicating; it's not all about you.
I know you're super excited about your new blog post and you want to tell the world about it. Heck, I do too! But there is a fine line between sharing the information you bring to the table and spamming anyone within a wireless distance. Use a rule of seven:
- For every seven posts you tweet (on Twitter, for example) tweet one for yourself.
Same mentality goes for Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn. These are more of your professional and very personal networks. Don't bombard your friends on these outlets with every detail, of every little thing, you share and do via the likes of Twitter:
- Each outlet is different and should be treated as such. Don't alienate one group of friends thinking they really care how many times you RT@mashable. (If you are on Facebook, get Selective Twitter Status)
Traffic was horrible on your way to work, your dog ate part of your presentation, you are wearing two totally different coloured socks, you forgot your bagel on the kitchen counter, you just spilt coffee on yourself and your iPod cannot identify a radio station to stream through, so you are stuck listening to static. I give you my sympathy. But seriously…
- Do not whine and moan about your woe-is-me all the time online. (Unless of course the above really did happen to you, as it would make an amusing story)
Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace have built-in status updates or are based around status updates. While, I'm interested in knowing what you want to share with me, so I can reciprocate and we can learn together, I frankly do not care, and do not want to know, that you ran out of toilet paper via your Twitterberry application:
- Do not constantly tell your social networks what you are doing, every second of every minute in each day. (Show me a picture of something fun instead!)
First impressions do count; as does second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth. Don't try to be thinner, smarter, savvier, sexier, wealthier, poorer, prettier, or –er than the next person out there. Eventually, you will slip and your fall will not be pretty. This is not the 19th century and you are not Degas, your fixation with Miley Cyrus could land you in jail.
- Be yourself, keep it smart, keep it real and keep the inner creepy to a minimum.
This is Part One of the 'Suicide Series.'

GALLIPOLIS — In effort to give back to the community in which they reside, the residents and staff of the Gallipolis Developmental Center (GDC) were volunteering their time on Wednesday afternoon helping to clean the Pine Street Cemetery.
Wednesday's volunteerism was a part of an new program at the developmental center known as "GDC Gives Back" and is just the first of many projects that the clients and employees of GDC hope to accomplish as a way to care for their community.
According to Matt Easter, the residential care supervisor in charge of activities at GDC, after speaking with Gallipolis City Manager Randy Finney about what a group of individuals wishing to give back to the community could do to help the city, the city manager reported on the need to clean grave monuments within the city's cemeteries.
Easter reported that the clients were eager to volunteer their time and get out into the community during their regular relaxation period in order to clean the cemetery just in time for the Fourth of July holiday.
"The public comes and helps us, so we wanted to come back and do something for the public," Easter said. "This is our way of giving back to the community."
Finney reported that the assistance of GDC or any other organization is a great help to the workers within the city, who have to care for a large number of monuments within the city's cemeteries.
"With the amount of stones that we do have to take care of, it has been a huge help for them to come out and help clean those for us because the grass gets on there and will not come off after you weed-eat without having to wipe them off or brush them off. They have been a tremendous help to us," Finney said. "It is a great program and anybody who would like to help us out with different projects, I think it's great."

Pat NBC on the back for realizing it has to broaden the appeal of its sitcom lineup with Animal Practice (* ½ out of four stars, NBC, Sunday, 10:30 ET/PT). Then smack the network hard for confusing "broad" with "dumb."
How was it possible for NBC to survey a broadcast landscape where the two most popular comedies are ABC's Modern Family, one of the smartest family comedies ever to air, and CBS' The Big Bang Theory, a clever comedy about incredibly smart people — and conclude that the path to ratings gold begins with a show starring a monkey? At least the monkey doesn't talk, unlike the last time NBC went down this simian road with the chatty orangutan, Mr. Smith. But even at NBC these days, improving upon Mr. Smith is too low a bar to set.
NBC will no doubt insist that the monkey — Crystal, whose credits include Night at the Museum, The Hangover Part II and Community— isn't the star. But there's a reason most actors are wary of working with animals: They're scene-stealers, and they have no regard for billing.
The shame is that Practice has a fine human cast, led by Justin Kirk, an Emmy nominee for Angels in America who is also often the best reason left to watch Weeds. But Kirk and his cohorts quickly get taken down by the barrage of stupidity the show sends their way. If the broadcast networks want to send good actors running, screaming, to cable, there's no better way than wasting them in embarrassments like this.
Kirk is Dr. George Coleman, head vet at Crane Animal Hospital who, we're told, is better with animals than humans. Except, of course, when the show wants to joke about how he uses pets to pick up their female owners; then he becomes very good with humans, too.
Like many workplace comedies, Crane is filled with the kind of employees who would quickly put most places out of business. There's Dr. Yamamoto (Bobby Lee), who spends most of his time talking about his emasculating wife, Nurse Angela (Betsy Sodaro), who spends too much time making inappropriate sexual references, and Dr. Jackson (Tyler Labine), who, in between complaining to George about his love life, is the only one who seems to do any work.
Then there's new hospital chief Dorothy Crane (JoAnna Garcia), who is sweet, gullible and George's ex-girlfriend. They flirt and spar until George threatens to quit. Unfortunately for Kirk, he doesn't.
One really doesn't know what to wish for the actors: success, which could make them financially secure, or failure, which would free them to find better jobs. The monkey, at least, will be fine either way. Which is the one good thing about building a show around a monkey.

...remove alternate languages during setup?
...remove alternate languages for Windows itself?
...remove the ability to display fonts correctly in foreign sites?
edit: I tried removing the Chinese, Korean and Japanese languages and it seems it does effect how websites are displayed. Fonts are not displayed, only squares. I don't recommend removing them.

(Do not select Unattended Setup as it will error during install or try to add hotfixes, this is due to vlite not being designed for 7 but for vista)
(Do not remove anything from hardware support, it causes a plethora of problems)
(Do not remove drivers either, windows 7 has a slightly different driver style than vista, it wont use all vista drivers, specifically it needs the storage drivers)
That's weird because I've never had problems with unattended or removing hardware support or drivers (haven't tried removing storage though).

As I remember removing manual setup works fine. And you can get rid of IE by using the E version.

The op has been banned, I...i mean he will not be able to update his thread.
Also if this op was here (theoretically), he would tell you the winning move is not to vlite windows 7.
Ok all joking aside.....
Removing all that junk doesnt make any difference performance wise, it just saves space, but considering were in the age
of $70 1tb harddrives, why does it matter (your typical pc game takes over 10gb of space now....you cant win), you cant crack a fart around windows 7, let alone try to use vlite on it, vlite wasnt designed for 7 and it shows,
Microsoft already stripped 40% of the crap from it, it has no movie maker, you can uninstall ALL of the media options (media center, media player and DVD maker) and you can uninstall IE8. As for winsxs and a few other small things, theres some very unhealthy side effects to deleting those.
While I am flattered that people have used my rough roadmap for their pilgrimage to windows 7 zen, I was going to take it down last year.
Heres what I did to my windows 7, and this is how ive ran it ever since:
*Turned off ALL visual effects in system tab
*made a backup of everything to another drive
*Run disk cleanup, ccleaner daily
*only keep 2 restore points
*uninstalled indexing
*Uninstalled gadgets
*uninstalled IE8, media player, media center and dvd maker
*run registry cleaner (ccleaner) once every 2 weeks
and my windows 7 runs perfect (other than a couple of games being fussy...new ones surprisingly...you would figure the old games would act up)
and it runs MUCH faster than my vlited vista sp2 x64,
though I do sorely missed my nlited Windows 2000..........200mb of harddrive space, 16mb ram........
anyways for those who continue to dismantle 7, good luck, i hope my ancient map is still of use to some.

You can definitely use vLite on Windows 7 successfully. To make vLite play nice you'd have to sysprep a VM install of Win7 SP0 upon which you install SP1. After performing sysprep you can then capture the image via Imagex (I create the VM as a VHD using VirtualBox, so one can directly mount the VHD and do the capture via Imagex). You can then mount the captured image (the install.wim) and remove the SP1 backup files. Then you export the image (basically a re-save) to make it even smaller and you have your Win7 SP1 that can be used with vLite (whereas Win7 SP1 official cannot be used with vLite).
Sure, it may seems a bit of a hassle, but if you're interested in modifying or customizing your Win7 image you really should learn to work with MS's own tools like dism, imagex, sysprep, etc. The resulting Win7 SP1 image you make this way is actually cleaner and smaller than MS's own Win7 SP1 iso, and thus it has become the image of choice for all my personal installs.
Plus, the added bonus of using sysprep is that you can integrate non-integrable (offline) updates (such as KB2533552) with your image.
Now, I don't use vLite in extreme ways, but I successfully use this Session on my images:
; vLite preset file ; ;#Environment: ; vLite v1.2 ; Framework 2.0.50727.5420 ; Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 64-bit ; ;#Target: ; Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Service Pack 1 ; Version 6.1 English (United States) ; [Compatibility] ACDSee / XnView DriveimageXML DVD Treasury Halo 2 Hauppauge WinTV KMPlayer Logitech Setpoint MediaPortal Perfect World Client Zoom Player Aero Glass File and printer sharing (Server) Internet Explorer Internet Information Services (IIS) Recommended Scanners and Cameras System Restore Windows Fax and Scan Windows Update [CustomHide] [Components] ;# Accessories # Accessibility Speech Support Welcome Center ;# Drivers # TV Tuners-ADS Technologies TV Tuners-ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

Using this Session it saves about 900+mb off the ISO -- this coupled with the almost 250mb I save making my own Win7 SP1 image the above-mentioned way, it saves about 1.1gb on the total ISO size. Sure, one can argue the point of cheap mass storage, but personally I find the single-layer DVD form important still (both for making backups and for creating install images for computers that don't play nice for USB installation). So the gained space is used for silent and portable apps that can be installed via an included WPI variant and so there you have an AIO install disc.
There is no limitation to the use of this Win7 image, save if you need Accessibility features, use Speech support (want your computer to talk to you), or want to install it on a Touch device. But of course images are made with a specific purpose in mind, and the purpose of my images is power usage on desktop and laptop environments.
To note: the ONLY manual insertion of files after the above vLite session is that I have to add in the Magnification.dll file, as vLite removes this file along with the removal of a certain component (other than the Snipping Tool, which I kept in -- and it will break the Snipping Tool when this .dll is absent). For some reason, listing this .dll under [Protection] in the session .ini did not prevent it from being deleted by vLite. But this is easy enough to do as you mount the image to make any such changes and/or do some additional registry tweaking by loading the reg hive, etc.
But yes, as I said a much cleaner image results from the above methods. Win7 SP1 from MS, when I unleash my 5 favorite reg cleaners on it, produces over 1500 reg errors... MS did NOT do a good job of cleaning up their image, as they basically used the same sysprep method, just less well With my images, I only get up to 200 reg entries found by these cleaners. That's not a scientific assessment, but I think it speaks volumes nonetheless. Plus, as I said, my images are quite a bit smaller as well, about 250mb for the x64 image -- and that is BEFORE using vLite on it
Anyway, I'm quiet happy being able to use vLite on Win7 SP1, as vLite truly is a great tool, made very well. I do feel sorry Nuhi is no longer working on it, but I guess that is what happens when MS offers you a job; you can't very well keep working on a tool like vLite and expect your bosses not to frown

Has anyone caught up with this quirky book?
I'm not sure what to make of it. The guy seems to have done his homework -- not being a filmmaker or course-taking film student myself, I can't vouch for its accuracy in that department, but it's garnered kudos from the likes of John Badham, Dennis Hopper and Roger Corman -- and it IS a hoot. Would love to know what my fellow Wellesians think.

Will you help us digitize 24 years of Crisis Magazine?
From 1982 thru 2007, more than 4,000 articles were written in Crisis Magazine defending the common good, a just society, the sanctity of life, and the teachings of the Church. Sadly, some of the best Catholic content produced in the past three decades is available only to those who preserved the print edition of Crisis Magazine.
But now, thanks to a challenge grant from a charitable foundation, we have the opportunity digitize and post online nearly 300 issues of Crisis Magazine. Once completed, these archives will be available free of charge, but we need your help to make this possible.
If Crisis can raise $5,000 and demonstrate that there is sufficient interest among our readers for preserving in perpetuity the print edition of Crisis, then this foundation will cover all remaining costs.

This is a great product and i have just used it more than once since i got it very good saw
Minden, LA
via sears.com
This is a nice saw for woodworkers looking to cut their own tenons for mortise and tenon joints. This saw has just enough TPI (teeth per inch) that it doesn't cut too fast and ripping the wood or cutting too slow with little cutting progress. Sure, it doesn't compete with the high end blades, but this is perfect for the novice woodworker looking to learn the basics of cutting tenons. I think that this is a great saw to start out with due to its affordability and its good cutting speed. I highly recommend this saw to the novice woodworker.

Peter Zumthor:Atmospheres Architectural Environments - Surrounding Objects
Author:Zumthor, Peter
Publisher: Birkhauser Verlag AG
Summary: Peter Zumthor has described what really constitutes an architectural atmosphere as "this singular density and mood, this feeling of presence, well-being, harmony, beauty...under whose spell I experience what I otherwise would not experience in precisely this way." Zumthor is passionate about the creation of buildings that produce this kind of effect, but how might one actually set out to achieve it? Atmospheres is a ...poetics of architecture and a window onto Peter Zumthor's personal sources of inspiration. In nine illustrated chapters framed as a process of self-observation, Zumthor describes how he creates the atmosphere of his houses. Images of spaces and buildings that affect him are every bit as important as particular pieces of music or books. From the composition and presence of the materials to the handling of proportions and the effect of light, this book enables the reader to understand what really matters in the process of house design.

hi all
I'm 21 in college and I have Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber (KTW) syndrome. They had to amputate my entire right leg at birth. throughout middle school i was plagued with constant infections and was in and out of the hospital. As of recently i've had alot of trouble keeping up with classes in college and have been seeking treatments to get the diesease under control. i'm about 3 semesters behind on where i should be and this summer semester is distroyed because i just was hospitalized for an unknown pain in my lower abdominal that the doctors believe may be diesease related. I just wanted to talk to people who may be living with simular conditions around my age and maybe i could feel better. A long term girlfriend just left me a few months ago because i couldn't handle the stress from the diesease/school and i made the mistake of allowing it to burden our relationship. i'm begining to get so depressed now about school and life that i can't sleep at night because of constant nightmares. i'm fearing that i will not beable to complete college and obtain my degree because of this. i'm sorry if i may sound whiny but i just wanted to talk to some people about things and see if anyone else has gone through simular situations. i've even begun to lose my mobility in the last 3 years. i just feel like its consuming me. i'm going to go see my doctor for a follow up to the hospitalization and i'm thinking about taking a year off of college to try to get some more intense treatments or something. some of the laser surgery was very sucessful while some areas it wasn't. we are talking about moving on to some other options such as radiation, or general surgery to help with things. hopefully we'll find something to help with things. i just really really would like to live life in a halfway normal way, get out of college, get a job and not have to worry about if i am going to beable to perform my job without being hospitalized suddenly or becoming sick with infections constantly. I'm a computer science major and i'm probably going to work as a programmer when i get into the field once i get my degree. I don't even mind having one leg in life and all its just all the stuff that comes with the diesease is so hard. i've delt with it for 21 years the best i could with out complaining and as of recently (the past 6 months) i've just been worn down physically and mentally so much that i can't stand it any more.

Hello Sukotto,
I am sorry to hear about your medical problems you are having.
I am sure you have seen some of my posts so you already know I have a facial PWS. I to have had several laser treatment. I totally understand the ups and downs of the lasers working in some areas and not others. I had three plastic surgeries because of some areas where growing.
Have am sure you have looked into it already, but have you contacted the KT expert on the front of this website? He would be able to over his advice on the subject matter. I personally do not have KT, but I do have Sturge Weber Syndrome which has KT listed as part of SWS. I have heard of other people that have had internal birthmarks. It is a scary thought but you might want to see an adnomenal doctor just to make sure nothing is really going wrong.
Hopefully someone else with more info of KT will chime in soon.
Hope to talk to you soon.

I've managed to work my way through another semester successfully. Durring the semester, I started seeing a university psychologist about my depression. It only helped me temporarially and he did tell me that I am "clinicly depressed" and recommended anti-depressents coupled with once a week therapy sessions. I refused the anti-depressents but did go thru with the therapy. It helped me get through the semester and allowed me to function well enough to get my school work down. I'm going to continue therapy when the spring semester restarts.
I've exhausted all options in New Orleans for treatment and all of the specialist down here are pointing to Boston and New York to seek further treatment. I've scraped and saved up enough money for a plane ticket over the semester. At the moment, i'm collaborating with the specialist here to get the names and numbers of doctors they recommend for my threatment. Dr. Poole, who is listed on this website, recommended for me to see Dr. Milton Waner in New York. I'm still waiting for another speciallist from Children's hospital of New Orleans to call me back with his recommendations for two doctors he knows of in Boston.
My mobility is still getting worse. A few weeks ago, i was doing some cleaning around my house i'm renting while in college after the semester was over and i became so exhausted that i couldn't move the next day because of how soar and weak my body became. I think the lack of everyday mobility has taken a small toll on my body and is causing me to become out of shape to the point where i don't have the endurance for prolong movements. I'm trying to force myself to move more then i did durring the past 11 months to try to jump start my body into getting its mobility back and getting back in shape to maybe counter act what the diesease is doing to me a little but its extremely hard due to the ammount of pain i go through.
I'm really hoping i can get help in boston or new york with these problems. I lose so much sleep at night due to so many different things. The diesease, the lost of my last g/f who left me after 5 years because of problems i stated in my previous post, pain that i experence from the diesease every night, thoughts about this trip to the northeast for treatment.
I literally have nightmares all the time about these things and i'm actually really really scared about this trip because i'm going to have to go on my own. All of my family can't go, my mother just had a minor heart attack and can't make the trip. My brother can't go because he can't afford to due to the nature of his job, he can't leave it. My father can't come with me because he is helping my grand father on the opposite side of the country because his dad is on his final days.
There usually isn't much that i fear in life but without a doubt something that scares me is when i'm in a doctors office by myself. I can ear nurses and doctors talk about me and colaborate about me outside the door even when they close it. I've even had emotional breakdowns before and after doctors have came into the examination rooms where i just burst into tears. usually the moment i hear them step back to the door i some how recompose my self but i know they have to notice the remains of tears on my face. I use to have my g/f to lean on for these things. I would still feel this sadness in doctors offices with her there but i never would break down mentally over it. Over the last 11 months i've really really lose it when ever i go to a doctors office. Durring the summer when i was in the emergancy room it got so bad that they couldn't draw blood from my arm because my forearms were so tense from the anxiety.
I'm sorry again for seeming so downbeat. I am happy that i've found a way to get the money to fly to boston or new york for treatment. and my father's medical insurance should cover everything. its just i feel overwhelmed by everything and really want to talk to other people that are or have experenced the same thing as me. i just can't state how scared i am. or how alone i feel.

I'm sorry to hear about everything you are going through. Though it's great to hear that you are going up to New York to get treatment (or Boston). I have heard a lot of great things about Dr. Waner. I wish that I could go there for treatment, but I just can't afford it. I know it must be hard going alone, but you will do fine. Just know that they are there to help you. You can do this. Good luck with everything.
what makes you different, makes you beautiful

The manager of the group that organized this year's Baltimore Grand Prix has declared the event a success.
That's despite a drop in attendance of about 30 percent.
Race On manager Tim Mayer said attendance for the weekend was over 100,000. Last year's estimated attendance was closer to 150,000 according to city officials.
Weather was dicey at best this past weekend with off and on showers and thunderstorms.
Mayer said the event did not turn a profit, however, all vendors were paid and all city fees and taxes were paid in full.
The group that ran the race last year ended up in court being sued by vendors and others who claimed they were not paid.
Traffic issues also were much improved, he said.
Mayer said he is looking forward to continuing for the next five years, which is guaranteed in the terms of the contract with the city.
"All these questions about attendance are going to go away, " Mayer said.
Mayer said crews expect to have all of the grandstands and other hardware broken down and removed in about 2 weeks.
Last year it took closer to a month.
