The mammalian visual cortex contains morphologically diverse populations of interneurons whose neurochemical properties are believed to be regulated by neurotrophic factors. This requires the expression of neurotrophin receptors. We have analysed whether brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), its receptor trkB and the NT-3 receptor trkC are expressed in interneurons of rat visual cortex in vivo, and in organotypic visual cortex cultures, paying particular attention to the subsets of neuropeptidergic neurons. In situ hybridization in combination with immunofluorescence for calcium-binding proteins and neuropeptides revealed that BDNF is not expressed in interneurons in vivo or in vitro. For the neurotrophin receptors we found in vivo at postnatal day 70 (P70) that ≈ 80% of the parvalbumin-immunoreactive (-ir), but only 50% of the intensely calbindin-ir, and only 20% of the calretinin-ir neurons express trkB. Double labelling with neuropeptides revealed that ≈ 50% of the neuropeptide Y-ir and ≈ 50% of the somatostatin-ir neurons express trkB in a laminar-specific way. Only 25% of the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-ir neurons coexpress trkB. The coexpression of neuropeptide Y with trkB, but not with BDNF or trkC, was confirmed with a double in situ hybridization. In contrast, the percentages differed in the immature cortex; at P14 70% of the NPY-ir neurons and 46% of the calretinin-ir neurons revealed trkB expression, while the ratio for calbindin-ir cells was fairly constant (59%). From the interneuron populations studied, only 12% of the parvalbumin-ir neurons expressed trkC. A triple labelling revealed that some neurons coexpressed both trk mRNAs, while others had only trkC. The analysis of interneurons in organotypic cultures yielded very similar results. The results indicate that trkB ligands synthesized by pyramidal neurons influence neuropeptide or calcium-binding protein expression in a paracrine or transsynaptic manner. However, in contrast to current belief, in the adult only about half of all interneurons appear responsive to trkB ligands. Although the proportion is higher in the immature cortex, not all of the interneurons appear neurotrophin-receptive. With regard to the presence or absence of neurotrophin receptors, the molecular heterogeneity of GABAergic interneurons in the visual cortex is higher than currently assumed, and the responsiveness to neurotrophins changes with development in a cell type-specific way.

A caravan of vehicles pulls into the driveway at Casa di Soprano, moving past a number of television trucks. Paulie gets out of one of the cars and shoves back a guy holding a camera, yelling that they can't come onto the property. Silvio helps Carmela and Meadow to rush inside.
Meadow, wearing a robe and a towel on her head, pours herself what looks to me like a glass of vodka while she whispers sweet nothings to Finn on the phone. Meanwhile, Carmela is being questioned by some detectives about Tony's shooting. They want to know about Tony's relationship with Junior. Carmela reports that she hasn't spoken to Junior in years, so Tony didn't talk about him with her either. They want to know about Junior's mental state. Carmela is distracted by Meadow's apparently getting into an argument with Finn on the phone because he's flying full-fare coach when he comes out. Carmela says that Tony did mention that Junior was getting more and more confused. The focus of the scene switches to Meadow's conversation with Finn, who is sitting in some sort of dental lab. She asks if he's coming to visit because he wants to support her, or because "dental school is just sucking." Finn says it's a little of both. Carmela tells the detective that they'll have to ask any further questions through her lawyer. They ignore her and relate that, when he was taken into custody, Junior somehow connected Tony with the Kennedy assassination. Carmela, out of patience, says, "My husband was three years old." She shows the detectives out and then sits in a chair. Bobby comes over and rubs her shoulder, and Carmela says she could sleep right there.
AJ is alone in the hospital, looking kind of creeped out by the doctors and patients and whatnot. He walks near Tony's room in time to see Barbara leading out Janice, who is (surprise!) sobbing. AJ walks into Tony's room timidly and stares at the blood on his father's gown, as well as the urine output from his catheter.
Carmela rings the bell to gain entrance into the ICU. It's weird how, when you have someone on an extended hospital stay, you so quickly gain familiarity with your surrounding. You get to know the nurses and their shifts, and the secret ways to get through the normally locked doors, and which bathroom is cleaned most often. I thought that was one of many details of the hospital stuff that this episode totally nailed. Carmela walks over to Tony's room and spies AJ sitting in a chair in the corner, talking animatedly to his father. She can't hear them, since Tony is behind glass, but she looks pleased and leaves them alone. The camera goes inside Tony's room and we find out that AJ is talking to his father about cool cars. Oh, AJ.

An Oct. 6 Other Views column by Jorge Luis Lopez, Bad precedent set on convention center, is just as misleading as the referendum that the 3rd District Court of Appeals removed from the ballot.
Both the trial court, as well as the appeals court, removed the Miami Beach Convention Center referendum from the ballot because Florida law requires that voters completely understand the ramifications of what they are voting for. Also, the Miami Beach Charter requires that there actually be a lease agreement before the voters are required to approve one. Miami Beach residents purposely drafted our charter and city code in such a way as to make it very difficult to sell or lease our most valuable properties like the Fillmore (Jackie Gleason) Theater and the Miami Beach Convention Center. This is a purposeful check and balance by the residents of Miami Beach against any potential abuse of power by the government.
The placement of a referendum to approve a lease, that has neither been negotiated nor drafted, robs the voters of the ability to fully comprehend the ramifications of their vote. Accordingly, the court ruled that voters have the right to be able to read the terms of the lease before they are asked to approve it.
No one suggests that the entire lease be on the ballot, nor does the law require such. What is essential, however, is that the lease (or the appropriate terms), be made available for those voters who wish to read it as well as for journalistic publications to review. Otherwise, the voters would be giving the elected body a blank check to enter into a lease that might severely damage our quality of life.
It is ironic that Mr. Lopez compares the convention center lease to other projects that did not commit the same mistakes as the convention center.
The Crandon Park Tennis Center was approved by the voters in Miami-Dade County after a well described ballot question told the voters specifically what was to be built. The city of Miami Grove Bay lease was negotiated by the city and the lease is available at city hall for voters to read before making their decision. Miami Beach voters deserve the same clarity.

Anyone got any ideas on this one?
Some users are being prompted to enter their credentials when opening Outlook 2007. It works fine through OWA.
I've opened connection status for Outlook ant it says Directory TCP/IP Established, Directory TCP/IP Established byt on the Mail it says TCP/IP Connecting and is as such asking for credentials.
This doesn't appear to be happening for everyone, and has come out of nowehere.
It's as though Outlook isn't passing over the logon username/password to Exchange.
Any help appreciated! And some EduHobnobs.

I always knew Louie Smarjesse was an exceptional guy. Now I have proof.
A few years ago, the federal Bureau of Labor released statistics showing the number of jobs held by people from the age of 18 until they hit 46. Most people, it says, have 11 different jobs.
Louie is way above average, having held somewhere around 40 jobs, give or take five or so. Starting in 1961, 53 years ago by my count, he has tended bar at 27 different taverns, lounges, steak houses, supper clubs and flat-out dives. Many of those places are gone.
Granted, at 81 years old, he is a ways past the Bureau of Labor's standard of 18 to 46, but that's still an impressive number. And those are just his bartending jobs.
"I sold cars, too," he says. "I worked for the Chevy dealership three different times when it was on Stevenson. For a while, I worked for an insurance company." And he adds with a laugh, "As a con man."
A country song I like says Jesus and bartenders hear it all. In 53 years, Louie has heard, and seen, it all — guns pulled and fired, fists thrown, love found (sometimes for the right price), love lost and hundreds of characters from both sides of the law.
The following is a list of the places he has tended bar, including his current stint at Gabatoni's at Third and Laurel (the second time he has worked there) and a few of the stories that go with them:
1. Milano's, 405 E. Monroe, where the main post office is now. It was his first bartending job. He was hired by owner Joe Albanese, who had a wooden leg. Joe also worked at Allis Chalmers, then came to the bar after his shift ended late at night. First thing he did was see how many cigarette butts were on the floor. The more butts there were, the better night the bar had.
2. Abe Lincoln Hotel, Fifth and Capitol.
3. Mansion View (twice), on South Fourth. The place had a French motif, complete with a mural on the wall depicting a Parisian scene. The owner made Louis wear a beret. "I hated it," he says. "And the waitress had this long cigarette holder." I don't think anyone was fooled into thinking they were in Paris. No one sober, anyway.
4. Illinois Executive Mansion, for a party thrown by then-Gov. Dan Walker. "Del Wilson got me that job. They had this big reception line, and Walker and other government people were shaking hands, greeting guests. Walker looks down the line, and there's Del Wilson standing with the rest of the big shots, shaking hands and greeting guests. Walker says, 'Who the hell is that guy?' He was told that was one of the bartenders. "Get him the hell out of here," Walker shouted.

6. Par A Dice on MacArthur (site of Ross Isaac).
7. Village Pump, Indianapolis.
8. The Flaming Pit, Town and Country Shopping Center on MacArthur Boulevard.
9. Don Henry's, Town and Country.
10. Harness House on Wabash. Owner was George Harness. One night, Louie worked while Count Basie and his orchestra played live.
11. Ideal Lounge, Spring and Cook.
12. Rosalie's Place, Maple Avenue.
13. D&J's, Maple Avenue.
14. DiCenso's Black Angus on Wabash.
15. Blue Moon, Peoria Road (Louie was co-owner).
16. The Embers, Clear Lake and Dirksen (twice).
17. Sand Bar, Mechanicsburg Road. "They had a big picture window there that looked out on the horseshoe pits. I was looking out the window and these brothers were playing horseshoes and they get into a fight. I'm watching out the window and there's a state cop in there. He says to me, 'Louie, why don't you go out there and break that up?' I said, 'Why don't you? You're a cop!'" A couple of minutes after they got tired of punching each other, the brothers were hugging each other.
18. Griff's Tavern on Melrose (owner).
19. Gabatoni's (twice, presently on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m.). A guy came in one night, pulled a gun on Louie and told him to empty the cash register. Louie opened it and gave the guy all the cash and change. Louie's wife, Sue, points out that when Louie pulled out the cash drawer, it covered up his tip jar, so he was able to keep that. The guy made his getaway on a bicycle. Springfield police arrived within five minutes. The robber was never found.
20. George Rank's, Sixth and Laurel.
21. Ben's Place, Auburn (one night only).
22. Top of the Arch, Sixth and Ash.
23. Lake Club (part time).
24. Governor Hotel on East Jefferson.
25. Oak Crest Country Club
26. Crowne Plaza Hotel, South Dirksen (part time).
27. Supper Club, South Sixth near the Cozy Dog. Louie was the owner. He had a blind piano player named Donnie Ray. One evening, after playing at Nashville North in Taylorville, Charlie Pride came into the Supper Club. Louie had a little trouble convincing Donnie (who was blind, remember) that Charlie was actually in the club. But he eventually got it, and Charlie Pride consented to sing a few while Donnie accompanied him on piano. "Within a few minutes," says Louie, "the phone rings. 'Hey, is Charlie Pride there?' Yeah. Then it rang again. 'Is Charlie Pride there?' Yes. Again. Again. And this was before cellphones. I don't know how they all found out so fast.
Page 3 of 3 - "The place ended up so packed, the waitresses couldn't move around to sell drinks. I ended up losing money!"
Those are only a few of Louie's stories. But they are about the only ones I could safely print without getting sued.

Japan's unique cultural mix of ancient traditions and quickly evolving modern subcultures makes it an exceptionally interesting place to visit. This is a place where you can spend the afternoon at an elegant historical tea ceremony and the evening at a loud, blinking internet cafe and come away with an understanding of two important aspects of Japanese culture.
There's a lot to explore and learn about, which can be hard with limited time so here are eight ways to experience the rich culture of Japan.

The traditional Japanese tea ceremony is a very old and venerable tradition. Every step and detail of the experience follows the guidelines of wa kei sei jaku: harmony, respect, purity and tranquility. It is the host's goal to provide a beautiful spiritual experiences for everyone involved. This responsibility encompasses everything from the food to the utensils to the paintings on the walls. Many travelers choose to partake in a tea ceremony while in Kyoto, a city known for it's ancient elegance and tradition. Take note that this ritual in Japan is distinct for using a bitter, very fine form of green tea known as matcha. Usually small sweets are served alongside to counteract the bitterness. Participate in a Tea Ceremony in Tokyo or read more: A Traditional Tea Ceremony in Tokyo
Modern Japanese geishas are elusive, yet fascinating, particularly in Kyoto, where a small number are still actively working. Geishas, cultured and educated entertainers and companions, became extremely popular during the 19th century and the practice continues to this day, although on a much smaller scale. Geishas are not prostitutes, but highly trained performers who sing, dance and provide stimulating conversation. They are known for their extremely elaborate make-up and kimonos. It can be very difficult to spot an authentic geisha in Kyoto, as they only appear at private clubs. They are sometimes seen walking the streets of the Gion district in the early evening. There are also organized geisha entertainment shows that anyone can attend. They do not feature true geishas but illustrate much of the culture and showmanship associated with them.

The world-famous Mount Fuji is the tallest mountain in Japan. It's actually a sleeping volcano: the last eruption occurred 300 years ago. It is considered one of the country's most beautiful sites and is one of the three holy mountains of Japan. As a result is has frequently been depicted in local art and poetry. Climbing the iconic mountain is open to anyone. In fact, over 300,000 people climb Fuji every year. The climbing season is short however: it's only accessible between June and August. The rest of the year the weather is too unpredictable and snowfall too great. There are a handful of different routes, each offering different views and historic sites.

This unique rice wine is the national drink of Japan. It has been brewed for thousands of years and is an important component of Japanese culture and spirituality (sake plays a large role in certain Shinto ceremonies). It's also a very, very popular drink, second only to beer in consumption. Sake is meant to be sipped and savored. There are hundreds of breweries in Japan that produce a wide variety of sakes with different tastes and flavorings. Depending on the variety, the drink needs to be served either hot, chilled or at room temperature. Because this can be complicated it can be useful to test out different sakes under the knowledgeable guidance of a bartender. Although sake tasting courses are not particularly common, there are many sake bars in Tokyo that will help you experiment with the drink.

Possibly Japan's most famous export is sushi. The typical "roll-style" sushi commonly eaten in western countries does exist, but it pales in comparison to the wide variety of sushi types available. The number one headquarters for amazing, practically still swimming sushi is the area around Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo. Arrive early in the morning to browse the huge market of startlingly fresh sea creatures. Then adjourn to one of the local sushi joints for incredibly fresh and diverse sushi pieces. Or combine your fish market tour with a sushi making class. You won't find any rolls here: this sushi is straight nigiri.

Although sometimes treated as a punchline in the West, sumo wrestling is a serious, well respected tradition in Japan. In fact, it's the country's national sport! Sumo traces it's origins back many hundreds of years and has strong associations with the ritual dancing of the Shinto religion. A sumo match has many ritualized elements and the fighters live a highly regimented, almost monk-like existence. It is easy for visitors to attend a sumo match in Tokyo, Osaka or any major Japanese city. It is often recommended to buy tickets in advance as they often sell out.

The Japanese onsen, or hot spring, can be a wonderful and relaxing experience. As an area with a lot of geothermal activity, there are many natural hot springs used for this purpose. Traditional bath houses can be found in almost any corner of the country; some of them offer outdoor bathing experiences or mud baths and waterfalls. The mineral content of the ground water is believed to give it healing properties. Different springs have different benefits depending on their make-up, but each and every one is meant to be relaxing. One of the most opulent and accessible onsen is Spa World in Osaka. It's open 24 hours a day, has 11 floors and several elaborate European and Asian themed baths. Be aware that in most onsen the genders are segregated and nudity is the standard. People with tattoos are often denied entrance to the baths. Read more: Letting it all hang out: Your Guide to Tokyo Onsen Photo credit: Cam Switzer via Flickr
Japan has scores of history and tradition but it's also famous for it's exceptionally modern, pop culture side. It's bright, colorful and cutting edge. A stroll through any number of Tokyo neighborhoods will give you an idea of some of the intense subcultures in Japan. Check out the bustling Harajuku neighborhood to see insane fashions, youths in cosplay costumes and the culture of kawaii (cuteness). Even more exciting is the crazy modern area of Akihabara. This district, sometimes called "electric town" is the national headquarters of cutting edge technology. Visit at night to see dazzling lights and signs flashing, clanging pachinko parlors and vast anime shops. It really is like a visit to the future. Japanese culture is so incredibly vast that it's impossible to grasp is all on a short trip. Many people dedicate their entire lives to studying the complicated history and experiences of the country. Luckily, it is possible to participate in many activities and to at least catch a glimpse of what makes this country so fascinating.

CARTERET, N.J.—A cellphone tower here, standing next to an abandoned bus that still says it's bound for Richmond, has become one of the hottest properties in global finance.
Trading firms, angling for even a split-second advantage over rivals, are rushing to build chains of microwave dishes to provide higher-speed links between financial markets in Chicago and New York.
Much of the new, ultrafast telecom traffic will have to pass through this industrial area just outside New York, home to oil-storage facilities, scrap yards and the warehouse of computer servers running the Nasdaq OMX stock market.

Acerbis Dual Road Handguards, £79.99 at www.mcnshop.com Miles covered/time: 6500/nine months
What's good: These universal fit handguards are simple to bolt on, have a clean design, are reasonably priced and give a huge improvement to weather protection on naked bikes.
They will fit almost all naked bikes and scooters and swop easily between bikes if you sell and change thanks to a variety of different bolts and bar end fittings. The ones I tested spent a year on an MV Agusta Brutale and transformed the protection.
Also, because the bike was white, the white handguards gave the impression of being factory fitted. The most impressive moment was shrugging off a high-speed pigeon strike that left the bird very dead.
Thankfully, my avian friend didn't smash into the brake lever and have me over the front, which would have been a distinctly likely outcome if I'd not had these fitted. You can get a strip of LED daytime running lights for each side if you want the extra visibility.
What's not: They don't fit non-naked bikes. But to level this as a criticism is unfair. They don't suit some bikes in terms of styling.
While the main handguards survived the pigeon hit, the small fillet insert did not and a replacement had to be fitted. Really nothing worth noting other than that.

The storm
16 October 2013 18:52
I have just thought that the other thing is these attach with one alan key bolt so unless I always park my bike in my garage wherever am am which would be impressive then someone will get a £80 pair for 2 minutes work. Ill check out the storm thanks.

Reasonable price?
FIrst off ouch for the pocket hit. I just brought a pair of alpinestar gloves for £90 and they are worth every penny as they are built and stitched together and done very well. £80 for two bits of plastic and some fittings is a insane amount especially as the led option is another £20 for £80 I would expect the lights to be included and even then I would think they are expensive.
Think ill attach two shelf brackets and any old plastic before I buy these.

Not so white
"Also, because the bike was white, the white handguards gave the impression of being factory fitted. " Not so white...I have just bought a set in black for my bike and a white set for my other half's white bike and actuall the white isn't as good as the white of the bike. In fact it even looks like white with a hint of blue....odd and slightly disappointing.

With the news of Alex Chilton's death, SXSW was off to a depressing start. But you wouldn't know it from the throngs of drunken revelers stumbling through the streets of downtown Austin. The combination of St. Patrick's Day, University of Texas spring break, and the festival kickoff ensured an Orange Alert threat level of chaos.
In Brief: Nels Cline, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Nada Surf, Mission Creek
By Tom Breihan on March 4, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. EST

-- Brooklyn Buzz Bin vets Nada Surf have a new covers album called If I Had a Hi-Fi.

Frightened Rabbit and Twilight Sad Team Up for American Tour
By Ryan Dombal on July 6, 2009 at 5:45 p.m. EDT
When it comes to emotionally raw Scottish rock music in 2009, Frightened Rabbit and the Twilight Sad are like the fucking Beatles and Stones. So the news of their upcoming joint tour of the American West and South should sound like bombs going off to kids too cool for American emo but still emotional enough to allow their music to feel...something. As if that wasn't enough Scot emo for you, the two bands will be joined by sad countrymen We Were Promised Jetpacks.
More Twilight Sad American dates are to be announced soon. The group is touring in support of their upcoming LP Forget the Night Ahead-- which has at least two great songs-- due out September 22 in the U.S. (and September 21 in the UK) via Fat Cat. Oh, and don't forget-- Frightened Rabbit are playing the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago on July 19.

News in Brief: YACHT, Polyphonic Spree, Son Volt, We Were Promised Jetpacks
By Ryan Dombal on May 15, 2009 at 8:30 a.m. EDT
-- Electro-pop act YACHT release a limited edition 7" single called "Don't Put Out" via Marriage on June 16 before dropping their new LP, See Mystery Lights, on DFA July 28. (Yeah, that's the album with the epilepsy cover.) "Don't Put Out" features covers of two songs from the 1981 girl power rock'n'roll movie Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains. YACHT also have some UK dates opening for Patrick Wolf starting today, May 15.
--Â According to a blog post by leader Tim DeLaughter, the Polyphonic Spree are no longer associated with TVT Records or the Orchard (which bought TVT). They bought their album The Fragile Army back from Orchard and they're back on their own Good Records imprint. (Not to be confused with Kanye's G.O.O.D. imprint.) Work on a new album has begun.
-- You gotta feel for Jay Farrar a little. While his former bandmate and rival, Jeff Tweedy, makes the headlines with his band Wilco every day, his new album with Son Volt-- American Central Dust, out July 7 on Rounder-- is relegated to third-tier News in Brief status.
-- They're buddies with Frightened Rabbit and the Twilight Sad, they have a great name, and now Scots We Were Promised Jetpacks have a release date for their debut LP, These Four Walls: June 15 in the UK and July 7 in the U.S. via FatCat.

The new motorcycle takes over from the 990 Adventure S as the top-of-the-range on/off road machine in KTM's range, and is also the most powerful yet with 115bhp from the Superduke-derived engine, 18bhp more than the older machine.
The suspension also gets 55mm extra suspension travel to give it extra off-road capability, but otherwise the mechanicals are the same as the 2009 990 Adventure (which also gets a small power boost to 106bhp and a smoother-running crank design).
MCN's Chris Newbigging has been riding the bike and says:
"The Adventure R is notably more punchy than the standard bike, but isn't ferocious and is easy to ride on an unfamiliar road because of the extra flexibility.
"The taller seat height can make the bike awkward at a standstill, even though I am six feet tall. It has extra suspension travel compared to standard, firmer settings make it more composed on bumpy roads without compromising the ride quality.
"The only downside is the ABS fitted on the standard model isn't available on the R model and it would be nice to have the option available.
"The seat is less comfortable; however a gel seat is available as an optional extra. Riding the bike off road the Adventure R proved itself capable but was limited by the standard tyres in wet mud and some novice riders may find the power intimidating.
"Overall the Adventure R is as versatile as the standard bike but with a little bit more ability everywhere."

What do you base your oppinion upon? Personal ownerhsip or alternate brand loyalty? I have admired the 950/990 adventure's from afar by riding but not owning. A friend has a 950 and his only issue was a bad bearing in the water pump. He on this, and me, on my motard (previous bike an R1) can embarass most sportbike riders in the mountains. My next owned ride is a coin toss between the adventure r and the bmw f800gs (granted not an apples-apples deal). But I am looking at every variable on the ownership side...inital cost, reliability, ridability, maintenance, etc. So, please, enlighten me with your wisdom across the many sugguested KTM models that you so intimately know. Or, are you simply waxing grandiose based on others words?

Reunited and It Feels So Good
There's always something magical about Rihanna on a hip hop hook, so she's linking back up with "Rap God" Eminem for his new song "The Monster." We don't know what it sounds like, but we're sure that it'll be as epic as "Love The Way You Lie." Stay tuned for more!

Of Clothes and Cats: Adrian Joffe and Simone Rocha Have a Heartfelt Chat in Love's Latest Issue-------
Simone Rocha may not have taken home the LVMH Prize, but the 27-year-old designer is in greater demand than ever. This month she's poised (like Christopher Kane before her) to launch a collaboration with J Brand, and in Love's latest issue, she sits down with Comme des Garçons International president (and husband to designer Rei Kawakubo) Adrian Joffe. Joffe has been a staunch supporter since Rocha debuted her first collection with Fashion East back in 2010, and he also happens to have known the designer since she was a child. In the Q&A, moderated by Love editor Jack Sunnucks, Rocha and Joffe talk cultural identity, her "abysmal" academic performance, and the six dearly departed Joffe-Kawakubo cats. Also of note? The possibility that a Simone Rocha scent may just be hitting Dover Street Market shelves in the future.
An exclusive excerpt as well as a Patrick Demarchelier-lensed, Katie Grand-styled portrait of Rocha (sporting her own design) debuts below. To read the full interview, pick up Love Issue 12, as covered by Christy Turlington (shot by Inez & Vinoodh, and pictured above), Adriana Lima, Kendall Jenner, and Amy Adams. It hits newsstands July 28.
When Love joins Simone Rocha and Adrian Joffe, the pair are debating the very important topic of pets: Adrian has just revealed that he and his wife, Rei Kawakubo, used to have six cats at home in Japan.
Adrian Joffe: We liked cats, but there's none left—they're all gone. So nothing at the moment. But with traveling and everything it's sad to leave animals alone, isn't it?
Simone Rocha: That's exactly what happened to me. We ended up moving around so much. They really need company.
AJ: Being half Chinese, half Irish—does that influence your work, do you think? Do you feel Chinese or Irish? Or does it not matter?
SR: I think it does matter. They're so different. But one thing that is very important in both Irish culture and Chinese culture is family. So both my mum and dad have really big families and really important relationships with all their family. I love being Irish and not looking Irish, and I love going to Hong Kong and knowing that my granny lives there and my aunts and uncles, and I can go out and they'll all speak Cantonese and play mah-jongg.
AJ: I'm guessing, though, that you don't like to be referred to as Simone Rocha, the half-Chinese, half-Irish designer. That limits you, doesn't it?
SR: I'd rather just be a designer. But I am very proud. I don't mind being called an Irish designer, because a lot of people call me a British designer. I can feel the whole Ireland kicking off when that happens!
AJ: Do you remember your first memory of liking fashion? Was there one thing that set your love of fashion in motion?
SR: It actually just felt totally natural being around fashion, being around clothes. I absolutely love the smell of plastic bags—you know, when everything's being hung up and shipped out.
I decided to do fine art originally, because I thought fashion would be a cliché. But after a year in college I'd done sculpture, ceramics, print—and then the very last discipline was fashion. And then I was like, Oh no, this is it—this is how I can translate my creativity.
I was actually a terrible student. I was abysmal in my B.A. None of my teachers thought I cared. And I didn't. But I was still producing work, and there was obviously something in it!
AJ: You were having fun, I hope!
SR: That was the problem! I was having far too much fun—far too interested in socializing. But then I got in on the M.A., and around two weeks into it… Well, I'd never cared so much about something in my whole life.
AJ: So now you've done three shops with Dover Street. Can we do your perfume, too?
SR: That would be fabulous! I'd love that. I already know what it will smell like. Something real, but something really special.
Tim Blanks Recalls Christy Turlington's Indefinable Beauty-------
No one has ever looked as good in their Calvins as Christy Turlington. In this week's Throwback Thursdays video, Tim Blanks looks back on the supermodel's trailblazing career and indefinable beauty—and, of course, those sexy Calvin Klein commercials. As one-third of the nineties "trinity" of supermodels (along with Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista), Turlington was, according to Blanks, the "purest beauty" of them all. Was it her slight Latino flavor? Or her versatility, shifting from a Calvin girl one day to a Versace girl the next? More than a decade later, it's still difficult to put our finger on it. One thing is for sure: Her impact is as strong as ever. You can see the full video here.
A Super Kiss for a Super Birthday-------
The original supermodels are celebrating some big birthdays this month. Kate Moss' fortieth on January 16 will no doubt be quite the affair—French TV channel Paris Première has already announced that it's created a fashion-packed documentary featuring Isabel Marant, Paolo Roversi, Peter Lindbergh, and more to fete the model's four decades, and, knowing Moss, chances are an epic party is in the works. But another supe toasted an important anniversaire yesterday: Christy Turlington, who's been popping up in campaigns left and right, turned 45 yesterday, and her catwalk BFF Naomi Campbell took to Instagram to wish her a happy one. Campbell posted a vintage snap of the pair sharing a kiss, along with a message that read: "HappyBirthday Wagon Turly @cturlington Love you always Omi ❤." It's hard to top a French model doc, but that Insta from "Omi" might just take the birthday cake.
The Modeling Moments to Remember from 2013-------
There's really never been a better time to be a model. Many will argue with me that the pinnacle of the profession was the glory days of Naomi, Christy, Linda, and Cindy. But they never had social media. In 2013, we witnessed the rise of a new class of supers who have since become household names. Cheeky Brit Cara Delevingne has amassed over 3.5 million followers on Instagram and is trailed by paparazzi everywhere she goes. Last week, Joan Smalls, Jourdan Dunn, and Chanel Iman became pop stars in their own right with the release of Beyoncé's "Yoncé" music video, in which they dance like divas alongside Queen B. Hell, they're even reclaiming the covers of fashion magazines.
This year, I was also thrilled to see a few of my favorite catwalk veterans make comebacks. Naomi herself had jaws on the floor when she opened and closed the Atelier Versace show—looking fiercer than ever—back in July. After a couple of years off the runways, Catherine McNeil walked in forty-two Fall shows (she's kept the momentum going with a profusion of ad campaigns and editorials, in addition to an impressive Spring season), and Daria Werbowy had a cameo at Balenciaga. Who doesn't love @dotwillow? As for the hottest newcomer? That prize goes to Edie Campbell, who was crowned Model of the Year earlier this month at the British Fashion Awards.
Christy Turlington Is Missoni's Wonder Woman-------
Missoni has a bit of a thing for quirky fashion films. If you'll remember, last season Stella Tennant struck some wacky poses for the Fall '13 Alasdair McLellan-lensed campaign and video. The house continues in that vein today, with the debut of its Spring '14 ads and film. Original-supermodel-going-strong Christy Turlington stars in the Spring spread, showing off Missoni's printed wares alongside model Vincent Lacrocq and some giant, geometric Plexiglas cutouts (which, if you look closely, actually spell out M-i-s-s-o-n-i frame-by-frame). Shot by artist Viviane Sassen in the Canary Islands, the serene but offbeat images and short have a vintage sci-fi edge, and we think that's somewhat fitting, considering Turlington—who, at 44, has been nabbing a bevy of major campaigns and recently ran the New York Marathon—is nothing short of a modern-day Wonder Woman. Watch her in the film's debut, below.

A hoover windtunnel back in 1998 finally went out so what's a good vacuum in a range of $200
I just have a basic Hoover upright. Have never spent a lot of money on a vacuum. $200 or less will get you something decent. Just go pick one out.
You can get a used dyson for that price. I got one for 2$ and 50 centspeople that owned the thrift store thought it was broken but all it need was a new belt got a few on ebay for 4$
It's around 340 instead of 200 but walmart has the Dyson DC40 Animals on closeout.Note it is one of the ball units, but it's the older one and it is hefty... if hefty is out of the question avoid it.
The Shark Navigator series.I can't speak to their expected life range but the performance is outstanding in their price range.
I heard dyson's have issue and they are overpriced for what they are.
lol yeah well this time it will be bagless.
I heard dyson's have issue and they are overpriced for what they are.
I own a Dyson and I am pleased, high quality product that does the job
Dyson has 50% of the market in the UK (and in other countries). Given their price they must be good.
yes but when your apartment is only 2% carpet it seems like a huge waste of money..
get a roomba then, one that can do hardwood floors and carpet.
get a roomba then, one that can do hardwood floors and carpet.
1 recommendation
Another vote for a Dyson. We just got a DC 39 Animal and it runs circles around anything else we have had. There is a trick to emptying the canister as they never seem to empty as easily as in the commercials. Once you figure out how to do that without spilling crap all over it is an easy process.
Just get a eureka and spend the money on GOOD 3m bags.
Dup post.
yes but when your apartment is only 2% carpet it seems like a huge waste of money..
The Hoover Windtunnels, similar to yours that died, have always been near the top of the "Consumer Reports" ratings.I see deals posted quite often for them at Slickdeals.com with availability from various retailers @ around $90 shipped.
I can't speak highly enough about the durability or functionality of the Dysons. We have had one for 5 years now, and it's still twice as powerful as any previous Hoover we had owned previously.You'll marvel at how easy it is to clean or remove jams of large items, as all areas of the air pathway are easily accessible.
I just have a basic Hoover upright. Have never spent a lot of money on a vacuum. $200 or less will get you something decent.
I got a Eureka from Costco a few years ago. It works great. The kit contained 10 bags and two extra belts for free! HEPA filter.It was around $200 too. Top rated by Consumer Reports. The only thing is it's a bit heavy.
I had a 1995-era Hoover of some kind go out on me (well, my wife) about 10 years ago. I thought, "hell, I can fix this." After I tinkered with it, I turned it on and it got louder and louder and then it kind of exploded. The "bang" it made was one of the loudest sounds I've ever heard, second only to a 1929 Ford backfiring inside a metal shed, and the image of me standing there in a huge cloud of dust with a thoroughly demolished vacuum and a screwdriver is one that my wife will probably never forget. It was funny as hell.Dyson now, though. It's the yellow one with the ball.
Got a dyson upright a few years ago, last year the buttons for holding on the attachments & hose broke. The on/off switch stopped working and I had to hold it down to use it. Then I sprayed it with WD-40 and it worked for a while. Now it won't turn off which is ok because I can just unplug it and plug it in to use. Better than having to hold the on button down. You can google about these types of problems with the dyson.Have to say, that it still has a lot of power, still cleans great and I use it daily.--"Whenever they invent something that's moron proof, someone comes by and invents a better moron.""Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?""Those of you who think you know everything are annoying those of us who do."
Got a dyson upright a few years ago
I have a Sears Kenmore canister vac I paid over $300 for about 12 years ago. It still runs ok with fairly heavy use. It's a decent unit but looking back I think I could have found something else just as good for less. Sears should have given me a better product for the money.I have other Shark products and I like them. When the Kenmore dies and/or I get tired of it (I'm close to that point now) I'll probably go with a Shark.It seems canister vacs have smaller bags that need to be emptied/changed more often than the upright models.

from MariaDenmark
Is this pattern only for knit fabrics, or can I use a rayon, or silky type fabrics?
Wow! what a great fitting pattern (even though I didn't properly measure my side seam allowance using my machine's stretch seam...> 3/8", oops)Easy to construct, wonderful drape. I hadn't sewn a garment in years, but just got the itch and made this with great results. I will definitely be making more of these. Would love for MariaDenmark to come up with a cap/short sleeved version of this top.
This pattern is worth every penny. It fits very well around the shoulders and back. Simple and elegant.
I am having some difficulty understanding the construction of the shoulders. Any help would b much appreciated. Thank you
figured it out. sometimes sleep helps!
I am happy you worked it out. Sometimes when sewing I find that just doing as the instructions say with out thinking about it too much helps - then suddenly it makes sense
Hi, I'd love to make this top, but I'm wondering why you would need to use elastic to finish the neckline and sleeves? I'm a beginner to dressmaking, and think I'd find it easier to just hem the edges.
Hi PaulaYou need the invisible elastic (or the fold-over-elastic) because you are working with a knit fabric that stretches. If you just fold over and hem the edges, without drawing them in a bit with the elastic, you'll get gaping armholes and back neckline - the elastic helps keeping the edges to lie flat on your body.Happy Sewing!

Lockheed CEO Hewson sees deals for next F-35 jets in 1st half
WASHINGTON Jan 24 (Reuters) - Lockheed Martin Corp Chief Executive Marillyn Hewson said the company's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program was progressing "very well" and she expected to finalize agreements for sixth and seventh production orders with the Pentagon in the first half of 2013.
Hewson said the F-35 fighter uses similar lithium-ion batteries as those being investigated on Boeing Co's 787 Dreamliner, but they were made by a different manufacturer and had been tested and vetted extensively.
She said investigators were still trying to determine what caused a problem that prompted the Pentagon to ground the U.S. Marine Corps variant of the F-35 last week.

Iron is an integral part of many proteins and enzymes that maintain good health. In humans, iron is an essential component of proteins involved in oxygen transport. It is also essential for the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. A deficiency of iron limits oxygen delivery to cells, resulting in fatigue, poor work performance, and decreased immunity. Conversely, excess amounts of iron can result in toxicity and even death.
Iron protein succinylate is a highly absorbable form of iron and is easier on the stomach than other forms of iron.166,167 Iron protein succinylate is a non-toxic iron compound.

Seizures and Habitat for Horses
This past week and a half many people followed the story of the 5 seized horses in Texas City. This is often followed by numerous questions by the public such as "Why can't anyone rescue them? How do seizures work? Why does it take so long?" It is not so simple as getting a phone call and going to get the horses. Laws must be followed so justice can be fully served.
Nonprofit animal welfare agencies in Texas don't have the power to do seizures. We work through law enforcement officers under the guidelines of city, county and state law. While we can document, file against and remove any animal that is being subject to physical and/or mental abuse, our ability to do so is given to us by the courts on an individual case basis.
First we file civil charges under the direction of the court. That allows us to remove all the animals on the property immediately. Under Texas law a hearing is held within 10 days and the Judge has the authority to deliver the horses into our hands. If asked, we will then help the law enforcement agency bring criminal charges against the previous owner.
Here is a video of a seizure by Habitat for Horses so you can get a better understanding of how the process works:
Habitat for Horses is a 501.c.3 nonprofit equine protection organization supported solely by donations. We have around 200 donkeys and horses under our care, plus one ornery, old mule. Most of them are here because law enforcement removed them from their previous owner. Our ability to rehabilitate and rehome them comes from the financial support of people like you. Please support us by making a donation for the horses we all serve. Click HERE to donate

2013 Mustang Parts
The 2013 Mustang might not look too drastically different from its predecessors, but many 2013 Ford Mustang parts have been changed and upgraded for this model year. On the outside of the car, slight styling changes have been made to mimic the previous year's GT500, while other 2013 Mustang parts were utilized in new taillights and standard HID headlights. On the inside, new 13 Mustang parts were added in the form of a 4.2 inch color display between the speedometer and tachometer that features standard trip information, plus Track Apps, which allows owners to monitor and adjust 'track only' parameters.

Ford Mustang 2013By Bill Tumas: Other new 2013 Ford Mustang parts also have buyers excited, including available Recaro seats and more power to the GT's V-8. One of the more unique 2013 Mustang parts is the projector light, which shines the Mustang logo onto the ground from a light in the side mirrors. However, these changes to 13 Mustang parts, plus a handful of other minor changes, are the only differences from the previous edition-it still features essentially the same handling and driving characteristics, but the new and additional 2013 Ford Mustang parts put it over the top.
This model, and the new 2013 Mustang parts, are just starting to come on the market. CJ Pony Parts offers limited 13 Mustang parts at this time, though more are being added each day. Many of these 2013 Ford Mustang parts are already in stock, however, and can be shipped FREE on the same day as the order is placed, if ordered by 5 p.m. CJ Pony Parts also has a reputation for providing excellent customer services, and our sales and customer care teams are always standing by, ready to take 2013 Mustang parts orders, or provide technical or installation assistance.
