I applied Weed-B-Gone earlier, and now I'm focusing on mechanical removal. We had a few days of rain, and the dandelions went to seed. Do these plants just die off, or do they rebloom? Should I remove them or focus on the ones that haven't bloomed?
I just bought this house last fall. The dandelions at the old house were very upright, and the mower would cut them. Here, they seem to lay flat, and push the grass away. Are there different kinds of dandelions? How important is alternating the direction you mow? There's a strip of grass on the side of the house that's about 20X100, and it's a pain to mow on the short direction. The rest of the yard I alternate. |

I purposely left a dandelion in my plant bed last year to find out if it will die in the winter. Spring came, she came back. I dug the soil and found out that root was 12" long. I did that because I was aware that they're roots are soft, easily breaks. So mowing I guess won't kill it. |
Mowing won't kill dandelions. They bloom when the hours of sunlight fall in a certain range (I used to know the range, but have forgotten). But basically, they'll bloom for a few weeks in the spring and a few weeks in the fall. The same plant can bloom multiple times in the spring and in the fall. If you've had a few days of rain, this is the perfect time to pull the dandelions because the soil will be damp, so the root is more likely to come out than to break. If it breaks off, the dandelion will grow back. I use a weed hound to pull them. I step down on it, give it a twist and pull straight up by the knob on top. If you pull by the handle on the side, it may loosen and not pull the whole root out. |
BPGreen, It seems like the dandelions here bloom all summer long. It does seem like they all bloom at the same time in the spring. At my old house, mowing the tops seemed to slow them down, and keep them from going to seed. The ones at the new house don't seem bothered at all by mowing. |

noun \ˌē-(ˌ)jip-ˈtä-lə-jē\Definition of EGYPTOLOGY
First Known Use of EGYPTOLOGY
Rhymes with EGYPTOLOGY
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Study of pharaonic Egypt from the putative beginnings of Egyptian culture (c. 4500 BC) to the Arab conquest (AD 641). Egyptology began with discovery of the Rosetta Stone (1799) and the publication of Description de l'Égypt (1809–28) by scholars accompanying Napoleon I. In the 19th century the Egyptian government opened Egypt to Europeans, many of whose collecting activities amounted to little more than plundering. In 1880 Flinders Petrie brought controlled, scientifically recorded excavation to Egypt, revolutionizing archaeology and pushing theories on Egyptian origins back to 4500 BC. The discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb in 1922 heightened public awareness. In 1975 the First International Congress of Egyptology convened in Cairo. Many sites remain that have been only slightly explored.

Can anyone help me identify this? The closest I can come by doing an image search on Google is "Orange Magic Squash" from Reimer Seed Company. I have never ordered anything from them, and never intended to plant this. I cannot seem to find the envelope this came out of, but I know it was not a volunteer. It is approximately 12" long, and 16" in diameter. You can see the pumpkin orange color. It's quite lovely, and I hope tasty, but I'm a little afraid to eat it since I'm not sure what it is! Any ideas? |

Did you plant any yellow straight-necked summer squash? |
Nope. That was my first suspicion - yellow summer crossed with something, but I only planted zukes this year for summer squash. It kind of looks like a yellow summer, but such a deep orange, and very hard-shelled. Oh, and quite warty! |
- Posted by farmerdill 8a GA (My Page) on Mon, Aug 26, 13 at 16:16
The old OP straightnecks are quite warty when mature and have this general appearance. When dry it will be hollow like an ornamental squash/gourd. Most likely a mixed breed tho. |
Do you think I should try to eat it? |
- Posted by farmerdill (My Page) on Mon, Aug 26, 13 at 17:52
It would be harmless in any event. If it is a straightneck and it is dried, all you find is a hard rind and a clump of seeds. No meat like a winter squash. |
It is a mongrel. It has happened to me many times. I have always eaten my mongrels. This year I had a zucchini turn into a bottle shaped gourd (I ate it, nothing special). Two years ago I had a winter squash, nominally a butternut, with butternut shape and Hubbard size and warty rind, which was one of the best tasting squashes I have ever had (I saved the seeds). I had to tie it to the trellis because it would have broken the vine. One other zucchini made a giant vine and is blooming only now. This has happened with both Territorial and Johnny seeds. With Territorial melon seeds I had a veritable house of ill repute, and numerous soapy tasting melons. |
I'm sorry to hear that about Territorial seeds. |

I have a dumb question, that I'm sure must have an obvious answer. This year, I would like to hang lighted garland around our front door, as well as a lighted wreath on the door. I see this done frequently, but I can't figure out what to do with the cord from the wreath. I want to sweep it off to the side and out of the way, but when the door gets opened, I need enough "slack" to allow the door to swing out. Then when the door shuts, I'm going to have all of that "slack" just hanging in front of the door. Is there an easy solution to this? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have seen battery powered lights used to light the wreath, eliminating the cord issue altogether. |
- Posted by arizonarose (My Page) on Sat, Nov 29, 08 at 8:43
We have the same problem here. We ended up hanging the wreath on the house instead. I'm curious to see what others have done. |
You can buy little strings of battery-operated lights at Hobby Lobby (or at least I did three years ago). I haven't used them recently, but I think they take two or four AA batteries and there is an on/off switch on the battery case. Works like a charm, but you have to remember to shut them off or you'll be replacing batteries all season. I think the string is maybe 5-6' long and I used them on little topiaries I had along the sidewalk during a holiday home tour. |
Here's what I've always done... I hang my garland and my wreath. Hopefully, your outlet is at the doorknob part of the door but, if it isn't this still works, you'll just need more lights. Thread the lights through the garland so they end at the hinge side of the door. Then, bring the lights up to the level of the wreath. Thread the lights through the wreath. The end of the lights (whether you use 1 string or 2) should end on the wreath. The only connection between the wreath and the garland is at the hinge side of the door and will not be affected by opening and closing. If you're not putting a garland around door, then just start and string your lights up to the wreath on the hinge side of the door, wrap the lights around the wreath and end them there. Hopefully, your outlet is on the hinge side of the door. |

PC Magazine
"What's nice about the Vulkano is that it has built-in wireless capabilities -- unlike the Slingbox. The Slingbox must be connected to your router via an ethernet port, which was problematic for me because of my router and TV reside on different floors in my house. The Vulkano was able to connect to my router wirelessly."

Wheel Balancing
Most shops have off-car electronic balancers that allow the wheels to be rotated to any position without affecting their balance. The disadvantage is, if there's any unbalance in the wheel hub, it won't be corrected. If this doesn't cure the vibration, it's worth finding a shop with on-car equipment before you try something else. In addition, make sure the shop has weights designed for your wheels. It takes at least a half-dozen differently shaped weights to fit properly on the rims of all the popular wheels. There are several so-called "universal" weights, but they may not fit your rim, and could pop off or cause rim damage.If the wheels are balanced and you have wheel shake at medium speeds on up, or the tires have cup wear, check the shocks and struts.
Sidewall Check
Using a tire and wheel cleaning product will give you a clear look at both the tires and wheels. You should be able to find cracks in the wheel, damage beyond surface nicks to the tire sidewalls, and damage to the bead area that could be responsible for pressure leakage.
Tire Rotation
Every owner's manual has a tire rotation diagram, and tire rotation may seem like motherhood and apple pie--always good. However, this subject is not so simple. Cost of rotation versus longer tire life is not a precise equation. It depends on the tires, the driving, wheel alignment and suspension condition. Further, professional service is not always expertly done. Unless the lug nuts are tightened to specifications in three even stages, using a crisscross pattern, the rotors may become warped, which adds to maintenance costs. If you let the mileage stretch out a bit, such as to 10,000 miles or more, tires may develop almost imperceptible wear patterns that will affect ride when they're moved to a new position on the car. If you can't rotate the tires often, you may be better off leaving them in place and accepting the somewhat shorter tread life.
Some tire treads are directional. They should rotate in only one direction and should not be rotated except by a professional who can demount them.
How can you tell if you have this type of tire? Look for a directional arrow on the sidewall.
To avoid warping brake discs, tighten the lugs in a crisscross pattern with a torque wrench.
Minor scraping on the rim's lip is okay, but a bent bead surface may cause a leak or vibration.
HOW IT WORKS: Reading A Passenger Tire Sidewall
A "P" or "LT" stands for passenger car or light truck tire. The 3-digit number (215 on this diagram) is the tire cross-section width in millimeters. The 2-digit number that follows (65) is the aspect ratio--the height of the sidewall relative to the cross-section. A lower number indicates a wide tread area relative to the sidewall--today's sporty look. The letter "R" means radial tire construction. The next 2-digit number (15) is the wheel rim diameter in inches. A 2-digit number following the size information is a load-versus-pressure rating. A letter that follows that 2-digit rating is a speed rating. Example: "S" is for a tire rated for speeds up to 112 mph. You'll also find maximum pressure (in psi and kilopascals), and maximum load (in kilograms and pounds). In addition, there are numerical or letter grades for relative tread life, traction and temperature (UTQG). The layout of the information may vary according to make.

Can anyone post a listing on Seafooddebtors.com?
Is it legal?
No. They must be placed for collection with Seafooddebtors.com (SDDC)
What about disputed "fish bills", who screens the listings?
SDDC requires the creditor to sign a form attesting to the fact that the invoices are not disputed or offset by counter-claims. The creditor must also be able to say that they have never been notified in writing questioning the validity of the debt. All listings on the website have been screened by SDDC and determined to be "just and legal debts" before they are accepted.
Does the debtor get a chance to respond before being listed?
Yes. The debtor is notified by telephone, fax or email, and given ample opportunity to respond to the collection demands prior to being listed. Debtors who are uncooperative or non-responsive are listed.
Does everyone who gets placed for collection show up?
No. SDDC has the option whether or not to list a debtor who responds during the initial demand period. SDDC maintains the right to remove debtors who have repaid a creditor based on the timeliness of their response.
Is everyone listed on SDDC automatically reported to all the major Internet search engines?
No. SDDC controls which listings are "released" to outside Internet search engines.
Why would I want to punish a non-performing customer by listing them on seafooddebtors.com?
SDDC is not a tool to punish or embarrass the debtor. SDDC has the same primary goal as the creditor – to recover the debt owed.

Honolulu, HI – Sept. 2, 2013 – A story invoking Governor Abercrombie's war-protestor past, has surfaced on Breitbart.com, a conservative online news service. The story details the problems created by the Abercrombie administration regarding Hawaii's veterans unable to obtain VA loans or refi's on homes that use catchment systems. This affects over 60,000 homes, mostly on the Big Island, and directly impacts about 4,500 Island veterans.
Representative Bob McDermott has been attempting to rectify this situation for months, working with the Administration and Veterans Administration.
Despite repeated pleas, letters, emails and phone calls by State Representative Bob McDermott (Ewa Beach), Abercrombie has declined to give the Veterans any relief or even meet with the Marine Officer Veteran McDermott to discuss the issue. McDermott said, "the Governors lack of action leads me to believe that he is either incompetent or does not care about our Veterans."
With the return of Neil Abercrombie to power, the long-time campus anti-military activist, Hawaii's veterans seem to be once again getting deliberately shoddy treatment. While the governor may no longer be hanging returning vets in effigy, he is quite definitely hanging up their ability to get their VA loans.
State Representative Bob McDermott said, "The Abercrombie administration has refused to fix this situation after nearly two and a half years of inaction. I personally delivered the Regional Director of the VA to the Governor's office with a proposed solution, yet no movement. All it takes is action by our Governor, yet he is AWOL on the issue. Not a surprise as a book can change its cover, but not its contents."
McDermott further stated, "Gov. Abercrombie's Administration created this problem, now he REFUSES to fix it. Just like during the Vietnam War, he is once again sticking it to the Veterans. It is my hope that this reminder of the past will spur him to action to help the veterans, those who have sacrificed so much for us all, including him. I have tried to work with him for 5 months, yet to no avail. This deliberate lack of performance by the Governor, considering his past as a rabid war protester, is breathtakingly sad. I urge the Governor to pick up the phone and get this fixed with the same fervor he used to pick up protest signs."
Representative Bob McDermott joined with Ewa Police officers to conduct a CTAP anti-speeding program. CTAP stands for Community Traffic Awareness Program. At the request of Ewa residents, who were alarmed by the growing level of accidents on specific stretches of road, Rep McDermott worked with Sgt. Darryl Evangelista to set up a series of driver awareness events. Bob's wife, Utu, son and nephew were all out early in the morning on July 1st to help warn drivers to slow down…and arrive alive. Bob & friends were back out the afternoon of July 8th and have two more CTAP events planned in the future.
Representative McDermott blasts Abercrombie administration's obstruction of VA loans.
Arbitrary ruling by Department of Health blocks VA loans for up to 60,000 affordable Big Island homes for Hawaii's Veterans.
HONOLULU – June 20, 2013 –Today Representative Bob McDermott held a press conference at the State Capitol to outline his efforts to work with the Abercrombie administration to alter an arbitrary DOH (Department of Health) ruling posted on their Website that blocks VA loans to homes with rainwater catchment systems.
"We tried working with Gary Gil at the DOH and Blake Oshiro at the Governor's Office for over sixty days," explained Rep. McDermott.
"Everyone seemed to understand the situation, but absolutely nothing was done to correct the problem."
McDermott was first apprised of the problem by VA loan administrators who pointed out that the policy statement on the DOH Website was causing the VA to balk at home loans and re-fi's for thousands of homes with catchment systems. They were also concerned that other lenders such as Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac might follow suit paralyzing mortgage lending for a huge segment of the Big Island real estate inventory.
According to McDermott the problem has a simple solution. Just change the Website copy.
"This isn't a law, or an official rule," said McDermott. "it is just something…an opinion…that some nameless bureaucrat put up on the Website that has become de facto policy."

Members of the Waikiki Rotary were given a tour of the Capitol by Representatives Gene Ward and Bob McDermott. The group met with the Representatives to discuss the legislative process and specific issues that relate to business in Hawaii.

fashion friday- embroidery hoop bangles
A while back I used small embroidery hoops to create wood burned bangles and since then I have been finding all kinds of ways to transform embroidery hoops into unique bangles. The hoops (I used 3") are super light, thin (so you can layer lots of them comfortably) and really cheap! You could use just about any mixed media techniques on the surface- here are three of my favorites!
Grab a permanent marker and doodle!
Use colorful acrylic paint and go wild with layers!
Any kind of fiber can be used to wrap around the hoop!

Beautiful! I also use the core from an empty Duct Tape roll. I make 2 or 3 out of them depending how wide I want them. Then I cover w/fabric and sometimes add flowers. Looking at yours, I just thought about adding wire + a few beads and going over the whole thing!......You got me thinking again! Thanks ;D
ReplyDelete Wow! These fashion bangles are too good! I really loved them! Thanks for sharing :)

Ireland's outlying islands
A view of Little Skellig from Skellig Michael, an uninhabited Unesco World Heritage-listed monastic settlement. (SuperStock/Getty)
Ireland's indented, craggy coast has more than 300 outlying islands, 30 of which are inhabited. Close in distance yet distinctly quieter than the mainland, these bastions of traditional life are places to breathe in the untainted sea air and soak up the spectacular scenery, and many offer a unique window into the country's rich cultural and spiritual heritage.
Tiny Heir Island -- one of the many isles that are scattered across County Cork's Roaring Water Bay in Ireland's southwest -- is one of the country's go-to gourmet spots. So you will need to book months in advance to dine at Island Cottage, a restaurant run by the husband-and-wife team John Desmond and Ellmary Fenton. Reached by a four-minute ferry ride from Cunnamore Pier on the mainland near Skibbereen, the quaint, whitewashed building is one of the many traditional-style cottages that still outnumber the bungalows blighting much of the Irish countryside.
Desmond, who also worked in the kitchen of the celebrated Ritz Hotel in Paris, crafts a simple menu that changes daily and is dictated by local seasonal produce. For example, locally caught, herb marinated salmon could be followed a duck leg with béarnaise sauce and gratin dauphinois. The couple also runs one-on-one cookery courses at Island Cottage throughout the year.
This June saw the opening of a second cookery school on the island, The Firehouse, which specialises in bread making and was set up by Heir Island native, Patrick Ryan, co-author of the book Bread Revolution. During the one-day courses, students learn the art of making cinnamon swirls, soda bread and pizza -- all cooked in a wood fired oven. Students also get a bag of baked goods to take home.
Further north along the southwestern coast are the Skelligs, two islands that poke dramatically skywards out of the flinty waters of the Atlantic Ocean, nearly 12km off the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry.
Try not to look down at the crashing waves as you gingerly climb the vertiginous steps that cut into the face of Skellig Michael, an uninhabited Unesco World Heritage-listed monastic settlement that was established sometime between the 6th and 8th Centuries. Three routes – each as vertigo inducing as the next – lead visitors to the top of one of western Europe's most important early Christian settlements. Its very existence on the twin peaked crag is awe-inspiring, as are the six well-preserved dry-built beehive-shaped cells that were once inhabited by monks. Despite the wind and waves, an otherworldly calm pervades. Local boat companies such as Casey's offer trips from the town of Portmagee, with a journey time of about an hour each way, depending on the weather.
On the way to and from Skellig Michael, visitors are afforded fine views of the neighbouring Little Skellig, home to some of northern Europe's most important native and migratory seabird colonies. The island is alive with the constant fluttering and cacophony of cawing, flapping and squabbling of more than 70,000 gannets as well as kittiwakes, Arctic terns, puffins, razorbills and shearwaters.
The Aran Islands off the country's western coast offer one of Ireland's most recognisable island landscapes, with towering Atlantic-bashed cliffs and a mosaic of velvety green fields starkly contrasted by dry stonewalls and rugged limestone terrain. These three islands, part of the Gaelic language-speaking region of Gaeltacht, seem stuck in a time warp as a symbol of the Ireland of yesteryear. Most day-trippers head for the largest island of the group, Inis More, with its spectacular Dun Aengus fort, a pre-Christian monument built in the 2nd Century BC.

UPDATE: May 7, 2014
Final Mock Draft Updated... 11:55 P.M.
Now, it's time to enjoy the draft!
UPDATE: May 7, 2014
6:00 p.m. -- **Steelers Draftboard Site Updated**
Top 100 (FINAL) is posted as of 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time!
Thank you to all that have had twitter banter and emails back and forth throughout the draft process about this most exciting 2014 draft class!
Breakdown of the TOP-100:
55 total offensive prospects
45 total defensive prospects
... and that's how I would project the Top 100 to go, overall, with a greater lean towards the offense (55 to 45), but then, the 4th and 5th round will contain 76 overall selections, and when the talent is chunked into likely prospects for the 76 players (Go here for link to 4th/5th rd prospects) -- it's 49 defense to 27 offense.
UPDATE: April 25, 2014
After having done the draft for a long time now, I can never remember wearing myself down or being as emotionally "spent" on the task as this year. Is it the two additional weeks that has led to additional scrutiny of the athletes entering the 2014 draft class? Or is it the pure phenom's that we have in these prospects this year? And will the extra two weeks of time before the draft cause grand relaxation and enjoyment because preparations are done? ... Or will it cause more heartache and additional workload trying to make this thing perfect? Does anyone have answers to these questions? Do people begin to ask questions to the World Wide Web when they've reached utter exhaustion?
UPDATE: April 25, 2014
Offensive Value Chart is now posted...
There are 19 more offensive players in '14 than there was in '13. I followed the same process I have every year for 15+ years now, and the formula is shaking out a lot more "NFL Worthy" candidates this year (182 offensive versus the 163 last year) -- It will take a few days until the Defensive Board is finalized; in the meantime updated Mock Draft and Top 100 will be published soon.
UPDATE: April 6, 2014
So little time to comment throughout the month of March because there's been so much work to do on this very intriguing draft class. I've been working the draft for 18 years and have never seen such a talented group. In every way, this is going to be the most exciting player selection we've witnessed.
... Top 100 List updated on 4/6/14
... Mock Draft (round 1) updated as well on 4/6/14
... more blogging and commenting on the way... as well as Offensive and Defensive
draftboards, which are nearing completion.
UPDATE: February 19, 2014
The first mock draft projection (Pre-Combine) has been loaded. Not a lot of flash or drama with trades and such, but it matches up 32 very possible first round prospects with estimated team needs at this stage of the game (an on-going and changing factor)....
UPDATE: February 18, 2014
Pre-Combine Top 100 List has been posted. This is the deepest draft, overall, that I can personally ever attest to having covered. Specifically, great depth at the positions of WR and CB make those positions very unique going into the NFL Combine. This list of 100 includes 50 on offense and 50 on defense.
As a reminder: The NFL DRAFT SCHEDULE
Round 1: 8:00 p.m. Thursday, May 8th
Round 2/3: 6:30 p.m. Friday, May 9th
Rounds 4-7: Noon, Saturday, May 10th

Richmond Kickers News Release -- www.richmondkickers.com
Thursday, May 30, 2013
RICHMOND, Va. – The Richmond Kickers look to continue their undefeated run in USL PRO this Friday night when they host Phoenix FC at 7 p.m. Join the Kickers for Happy Hour at City Stadium when the gates open at 6 p.m. with live music from the Acousta-Lites, draft beer trucks and food trucks. Tickets are on sale now at RichmondKickers.com.
"It's vital that we rebound from the disappointing loss to D.C. United with another inspirational home performance," said Leigh Cowlishaw, Richmond Kickers Director of Soccer. "So far we've played 10 games, won six, tied four and conceded only eight goals. Confidence is high and we continue to improve in all areas of our play. We now need to dig deep physically and make sure, on Friday night, we deliver the positive attitude and hunger for success we have shown in our previous 10 games."
The Kickers enter Friday's match three days after a heartbreaking penalty shootout loss to their official MLS affiliate, D.C. United, in the U.S. Open Cup Third Round. Scoreless through 120 minutes of regulation and overtime, the winner was determined when United goalkeeper Joe Willis made a pair of heroic saves while D.C. converted all four of its penalties to advance to the fourth round.
Unbeaten through their first eight regular season games, the Kickers are coming off a 2-0 win against USL PRO rivals the Harrisburg City Islanders. D.C. United loanees were integral in obtaining the critical three points with goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra posting nine saves to preserve his third shutout of the season and forward Michael Seaton rounding out the scoreline with his second professional goal. Signing 24 hours before the Kickers season opener out of the club's preseason combine, midfielder Nate Robinson made his scoring debut, tallying the game-winning goal that allowed the team to leapfrog the City Islanders into third place in the USL PRO standings.
Friday's match marks the first-ever meeting between the Kickers and Phoenix, who kicked off their inaugural USL PRO season in March. The Wolves head into the first leg of a back-to-back East coast road trip following a 2-2 draw with the Charlotte Eagles last week. The back-and-forth affair saw the Wolves level the score twice in the first half with midfielder Scott Morrison and defender Donny Toia notching the crucial equalizers before the break. Phoenix currently resides in 10th place in the USL PRO standings, carrying a 2-5-3 record into Friday's contest.
Players to Watch Kickers: Splitting time between the Richmond Kickers and Houston Dynamo, midfielder Brian Ownby returned to his home town on loan from the MLS side in early April. Since then, the former Richmond Strikers and University of Virginia midfielder has bolstered the Kickers attack, recording one goal and four assists, most recently setting up a goal against Harrisburg last week.
Joining the Kickers defense on loan from D.C. United in April, Conor Shanosky registered his first professional goal with a stoppage-time equalizer in the Kickers thrilling 3-3 tie with Charlotte earlier this month. The 6-foot-4 defender made his first start with United's first team on the opposite side of the pitch at City Stadium in the U.S. Open Cup Third Round match on Tuesday.
Goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra backstopped the Kickers to a scoreless draw through regulation and overtime against D.C. United. With an overall goals against average of just 0.77, the VCU product anchors the second-best defensive unit in the league, having allowed just eight goals in 10 games played.
Phoenix FC: Nineteen-year old midfielder Netinho led the Wolves to their first-ever win in club history when he notched the lone goal in the 1-0 victory over fellow expansion franchise VSI Tampa Bay FC in March. Having played with renowned Brazilian side Santos FC since he was 14, the youngster signed with Phoenix prior to the 2013 campaign.
Signing with MLS side Real Salt Lake as the club's first Homegrown player prior to the 2011 season, defender Donny Toia joined the Wolves after a one-year stint with FC Tucson. Playing all but one minute with the Wolves defense, he doubles as an offensive threat, posting his second goal of the season in the 2-2 draw against Charlotte last week.
Former Brazilian youth national team midfielder Diego Faria signed with the Wolves after spending time with his hometown club América T.O. The playmaker has been the most prolific player for the Wolves, attempting 12 shots while converting two goals and an assist.

On Monday I read the news that GM's CIO has decided to slash outsourcing in a move to transform IT and its role. As reported by InformationWeek:
Today, about 90% of GM's IT services, from running data centers to writing applications, are provided by outsourcing companies such as HP/EDS, IBM, Capgemini, and Wipro, and only 10% are done by GM employees. Mott plans to flip those percentages in about three years–to 90% GM staff, 10% outsourcers.
Other aspects of this massive transformation, that is expected to take place in the next three years, include data center, application and data warehouse consolidation, better portfolio management, the establishment of three new development centers, as well as considerable hiring of relevant IT skills.
This move, motivated by the ambition of being more responsive to business needs, runs contrary to the common wisdom around cloud computing, which assumes that "outsourcing" standard IT operations to the cloud frees resources for new development and a more transformation role for IT.
What makes it even more interesting, though, is the coincidence with the pro-insourcing spin taken by Obama's presidential campaign, and well-summarized in this TV ad, which I happened to see yesterday shortly after my arrival in the US. The ad portrays the republican candidate Matt Romney as a pro-outsourcing guy, who may lead to the loss of jobs to cheaper labor countries, and presents Obama as the defender of insourcing and savior of local jobs. It is indeed a curious coincidence, since GM was bailed-out by the Obama administration and was then criticized for its excessive attention to foreign markets.
While I am not speculating that there is necessarily a cause-effect link here, I'd like to offer a reflection on whether the insourcing message that is characterizing Obama's campaign may have a broader effect on the IT market in the US.
His administration has been quite aggressive on pushing cloud adoption by federal agencies, through several initiatives that both the OMB and the GSA have been conducting for the last three years. While for most government workloads, cloud infrastructure and staff are located on US soil, it is a fact that a broad adoption of government cloud would leverage economies of scale and effectively reduce the need for IT staff in individual agencies. Even further, as some workloads – around web presence and open government – may comfortably run in the public cloud, a portion of those jobs would be effectively outsourced outside the US.
So while the search for increased efficiency would call for more rather than less cloud use, the political priorities du jour may lead to different behaviors, e.g. relying more on own data center consolidation and virtualization as well as government-operated shared services, than on standardized vendor offerings.
Nor is this a US-only issue. As European politicians campaign in a very dire climate, messages that link government spending to job preservation and creation will intensify, especially in countries with overwhelming unemployment rates. It is likely that an increasingly important factor in everybody's sourcing strategy will be politics, which is rarely a good thing from a business perspective.

Picture This: D-Day for DTV
Jan 1, 2009 12:00 PM, By Jeff Sauer
A new era in broadcast television history.
What do Jan. 1, 1954, and Feb. 17, 2009, have in common? One is and the other presumably will become among the most important dates in television history, from a technology standpoint anyway, aside from the launch of broadcast television itself. Feb. 17, 2009, is, of course, the date the FCC has designated for the national transition to digital TV (DTV). Jan. 1, 1954, is often set forth as the birth of color TV.
Simplistically, each represents the dawn of a new era of broadcast technology, and they both stand as placeholders for what was/hopefully will be a dramatic change in how viewers experience television. And both sought/seek to enhance the viewing experience and, thus, the home-theater experience in their respective eras.
On Jan. 1, 1954, NBC — then owned by RCA — launched the first national color television broadcast "In Living Color," as the slogan would soon come to boast. It was a live broadcast of the annual Tournament of Roses parade, a spectacle that's still televised each year for its colorful splendor. Awkwardly, in 1954, very few people saw it.
At the time, only Admiral (the same manufacturer that is now best known for dishwashers and other appliances sold at the Home Depot) had a color TV set actually available for purchase. Although that model C1617A (oddly, given the model number, a 15in. display) only reached the market two days earlier on Dec. 30, 1953, and sales were anything but robust for the $1,175 TV that cost roughly the same as a new car at the time.
However, RCA was driving the technology. RCA didn't hit the market with a color TV set until nearly four months later, but it did have a very small number of prototype color TVs set up at special screenings that were able to tune into the parade broadcast. Interestingly, in a March 11, 2004, "Facts for Features" press release, the U.S. Census Bureau indirectly cited March 25, 1954, as the dawn on the color TV era. That was when RCA began initial production of the CT-100 at its plant in Bloomington, Ind. — RCA's first marketable color TV set and what would become the poster child for early switch to color. The CT-100 would begin shipping the following month for $1,000.
The idea of broadcasting color signals didn't begin in 1954 and was actually in development for several years previously, with competing technologies vying for how to do it. In fact, the FCC initially endorsed a different technology from CBS three years earlier, only to rescind that endorsement two years later after CBS testified that it was no longer pursuing the technology. The problem for CBS' technology — unlike that of RCA, which would become the color standard for the next five decades — was that it was not backward-compatible to existing black-and-white broadcast.
Demand was high for test screenings of CBS' technology as early as 1950 — first in Washington, D.C., then New York, Philadelphia, and other major cities. But the interest did not translate into sales on sets that were both expensive and had, at the time, very little on-air programming to display. Early adopters generally had an hour per week of color.

If you've missed the series, you can watch at vimeo.com/woodstockstudents.
Here is the article titled, On the Physical Death of Jesus Christ, published by the Journal of American Medical Association dated March 21, 1986.
On Monday, May 28, 2012 at Summer Surge, we cast a SIGNIFICANT new vision for the future of WoodstockHSM. Here is the message from that night [the specifics begin around 32:00 of the video]. Focused on the glory of God and our unshakeable belief that it should always be advancing and never receding in our lives personally and in our community corporately, we have come to a crossroads concerning our influence for the glory of God.
EPICENTER, our Wednesday night gathering, has seen a surge over the last 6 years, making a leap from 175 participants to well over 400 on most nights. We meet in a facility that, although only 4 years old, is at or above 80% capacity each Wednesday. Church growth experts tell us, and we know this to be true from our own experiences, that once we reach 80% capacity or higher new guests will walk into the auditorium and decide there isn't room for them. We have seen a SIGNIFICANT number of first time guests at EPICENTER over the last year and a half. In fact, there have been enough to more than double our ministry if they all stuck. But they haven't…and we're convinced that one of the reasons is that we are out of space and seats for them.
Because the glory of God matters NOW, we are faced with five choices…
#1 – Do Nothing
We tell these students to go to hell or at least try to find Jesus somewhere else. Our conviction – not even a consideration.
#2 – Start a Second Service on Wednesday nights
We could do a 6pm and a 7:30pm gathering. Our conviction – because of already existing programming times on campus, we prefer to give ourselves more freedom.
#3 – Start a Second Service Another Night
In addition to Wednesday night, we could add a Monday or Thursday gathering. Our conviction – although we are not afraid of hard work, we believe this will stretch our staff very thin.
#4 – Move to the Chapel
Currently, this is not even an option as it is occupied with Sunday morning worship practice. However, if it were an option we would have plenty of seats in the 2500 seat chapel. Our conviction – moving 400-500 students into a 2500 seat auditorium would dwarf our momentum and environment.
#5 – Start a Second Epicenter in Another Location at the Same Time on Wednesdays
A second epicenter would look and feel just like the one in our current facility, although it probably wouldn't have all the bells and whistles of media technology. It would run at the exact same time and day as EPICENTER currently. Our conviction – Multi-site EPICENTER gives us the greatest opportunity for giving our students ownership while at the same time reaching more students in Metro Atlanta.
We are going to be "planting" a second EPICENTER in the northern end of Cherokee County, focused on Creekview, Cherokee, and some Sequoyah High School students. There are a TON of obstacles, including the fact that we are unaware of ZERO non-multi site churches that have multi-site youth ministries. This is unchartered territory for our church. But here is what we do know we are facing:
1. A need for a facility to house EPICENTER North
2. Brand new team of volunteers and at least 24 volunteers to start the 1st night
3. Additional ministry dollars for possible facility rental, band, stage, media, marketing, etc.
4. A fast-track learning curve for our interns to improve their speaking ability
5. A core team that has our WoodstockHSM DNA to launch this second EPICENTER
FAQ: We know there are plenty of questions [and probably more than we can think of]. Here are some that you're probably asking.
1. Who will be preaching? Matt will primarily preach on our Woodstock campus and our staff and volunteers will primarily preach on our North campus. Likely, Matt will rotate to the North campus and our staff will come to our Woodstock campus once a month.
2. Who will be leading worship? Our current EPICENTER band is sold on the vision and is committed to helping raise up a new band. Because there are currently 6 guys in the band along with 2-3 that rotate in and out, the current band will likely send some guys to the North campus to play at least at the beginning.
3. Will it be like the Woodstock campus? We are going to make every effort to make sure that the North campus receives the same quality of experience that our Woodstock campus has. We know that it will likely not have all the media bells and whistles but it will at least be the same series with the same graphics, same worship songs, same videos, same content in message.
4. How do I get involved? Call or email our office to let us know you are interested or fill out the form below (best option). email@example.com or 678-494-2653. We will be having CORE NORTH meetings regularly on Wednesdays throughout the summer starting June 6th at 5:30pm in the Warehouse, room 1. We need you there.
5. What volunteer positions do you need and how many? Greeters, set up, guest services, altar counselors, media, safety, VIP Afterparty, and Small Group sign-up table. We project that we will need at least 24 to start the first night. We need both parent and student leaders.
6. How many people will be coming to EPICENTER North? We are praying and believing that we will start the first night with 100 students.
7. How can we get the word out? We hope you will make an effort like never before. Here are a few ways we plan to let people know…Mailers, yard signs, flyers in businesses, pass out cards, t-shirts, social media, ads in football programs at Creekview, Cherokee, & Sequoyah. If you have a suggestion, please let us know.
Will you prayerfully and seriously consider joining our team? You can make known you're interest by filling out the short form below. We know some of our current volunteers will be launching to EPICENTER North, which will create a void on our Woodstock campus. Either way, we will need more leaders on both campuses that will help us accomplish our vision to see 39,000 middle and high school students in a 10 mile radius of Woodstock know and love Jesus. Thanks for praying for us! We will look forward to hearing from you.
Have more questions? Feel free to call or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 678-494-2653.
How would you and/or your student respond to questions like:
Should Christians drink?
Is it ok to gamble or buy lottery tickets?
Is it ok for Christians to go see rated R movies?
What does the bible say about listening to secular music?
How should Christians respond to humanitarian efforts?
Is it ok to use social media, like Facebook & Twitter?
These are questions that enter the everyday life of a Christian. Because most of these don't have a direct biblical reference, most of us have a difficult time formulating an informed biblical response.
Tonight at EPICENTER (4-11-12), we start a brand new series called CHASING ELEPHANTS. Brent Crowe is the author of this book and he will be with us for 3 weeks helping us shape our thoughts and theology around the gray areas of life.
See you tonight!! We start at 6:30pm. Show up early to get a seat!!
Here's the video that kicked off the DASH series. Youth Pastors, the video is generic enough to be used in your ministry if you so choose. Feel free to use it if you have a need for it.
As promised, here are the notes from the first two weeks of Blended, a series on the Absolute Truth About God.
Blended Week 1 – The Absolute Truth About Heaven, Hell, and the Destiny of Everyone Who Ever Lived
Blended Week 2 – How To Discern Truth For Yourself
Blended Week 3 – Why is the God of the Bible the Source of Truth and NOT the God of [fill in the blanks]
Well, that's what one former prominent evangelical leader writes about in his new book coming out next week.
PARENTS|STUDENTS|LEADERS: the battle for RIGHT THINKING in your teenagers life is raging. We had a series already planned before this battle started brewing two weeks ago. The timing of this series and what's happening in culture is RIGHT NOW.
I'm asking you to do everything you can to be at Epicenter the NEXT THREE WEEKS and have your student there as well. THIS STUFF MATTERS!!!
BLENDED Series Week 1, March 16 – The Absolute Truth About Heaven, Hell, and Every Person Who Ever Lived
BLENDED Series Week 2, March 23 – How to Discern Truth For Yourself
BLENDED Series Week 3, March 30 – The Absolute Truth About the Destiny of Other Religions


text: MATT LAMBERT Matt Lambert LA Born and Berlin-based, Matt Lambert is a filmmaker whose recent work, through an exploration of identity and sexuality, looks to open a debate around the way youth perceives and presents itself in the digital space. His work is deeply entrenched in global sub-cultures spanning a breadth of cultural and sexual identities with a keen focus on expanding the methods and styles of documentary and short film making. Lambert credits a rebellious, anti-institution impulse with his initial entrance into the online space, wanting to get away from the trends and markets that he feels can overwhelm creativity. He enjoys that his online work can be niche yet global, and while never explicitly about "the internet," he frequently grounds his pieces in a distinctly digital age. Berlin is a huge influence on his work as well, where he excels in a slower pace of life and enjoys editing his pieces in a small house with a dog in the office next to Wim Wenders. While committed to short form and experimental work, Lambert admits he's ready for the challenge of a feature, and speaks tantalizingly about ideas that may have intimidated him years ago. When pressed to source his inspirations, he credits "everything from Tarkovsky to Tumblr," an apt way to encapsulate a body of work that aims to elevate pop culture to mythic proportions through technique and language. Lambert injects his projects with an intimacy, excitement and conceptual depth that resonates far beyond the engaging and intriguing surface. FEATURED FROM THIS ARTIST Heile Gänsje Profile: Kevin

This is a question I often hear from people who don't own small businesses and occasionally get from an entrepreneur who wonders why we take such a position.
Sometimes they follow with another question: "Why don't you want to help families who are struggling?"
We do want to help families and any who are struggling financially. But simply raising the minimum wage is not an effective way to end poverty. That's not just our opinion but a reality backed by official U.S. government research.
According to U.S. Department of Labor statistics, half of those who earn the minimum wage are under 26 and aren't the main source of family income. [See EPI study on number of workers dependent on minimum wage]
But politicians have seized this issue, clouding the true impact it could have on our economy. President Obama has made it a top agenda item.
In his recent State of the Union, he said he would ignore Congress and use "Executive Power" to raise base wages for some federal contractors' employees. Good politics, but bad news for those working single moms he often touts as examples.
The first question concerned people should ask is "What will happen when that single mom's employer is forced to make cuts to keep up with rising wages?"
And the second question should be: "Where will her children find their first jobs when they grow up?"
Answer to Question No. 1: Raising the cost of labor forces employers to use less of it. One only has to look at supermarket self-checkout lines to see that technology is steadily eliminating low-skill jobs.
Answer to Question No. 2: Creating jobs where future generations can one day learn the skills necessary to advance in the job market, build careers and stay ahead of technological change is the best benefit they could receive.
Artificially hiking wages ignores the key problem. It doesn't help many who have jobs: 95 percent of hourly-paid employees already earn above the minimum and worse, it will increase unemployment and prevent businesses from hiring.
Those questioning NFIB's opposition to government-mandated wage increases should ask themselves: "If I were a small-business owner facing labor costs that account for 70 percent to 80 percent of my operating expenses–costs that I'm unable to absorb–which option would I choose: Raise prices, lay off employees or close my business?"
Any of those options is a dead end for both small businesses and employees.Increasing the minimum wage will make things worse for families, for small-business owners and our economy overall.
It's important to ask the right questions.

The Power of Less: An Interview with Leo Babauta
I'm delighted today to bring you an interview with Leo Babauta, the creator and blogger at Zen Habits, a Top 100 blog with 80,000 subscribers — one of the top productivity and simplicity blogs on the Internet.
Leo has a new book out called The Power of Less: the fine art of limiting yourself to the essential… in business and in life, his first to be published in print. I thought I'd ask him a few questions on how and why he's moved from online to print for this book.
Mark: What were the major differences you found writing a book over writing for a blog?
Leo: Writing a blog is easier, because it's in little chunks — one blog post can be written in an hour. But a book is more overwhelming, even if you break it into chapters — you can't write a chapter a day, so it's harder to do in little bursts, like I do with blog posts. Still, I enjoyed the process!
Mark: How long did it take and how did you find the time?
Leo: I had a hard time at first because I was actually running not only the Zen Habits blog but a blog for writers and bloggers (WriteToDone.com), planning for my wedding and honeymoon, training for a marathon, and working on a couple other projects. So I procrastinated on the book writing and it dragged on for awhile. But I did the last 1/3 of the book in two weeks, after I decided to take a break from the blogs so I could clear my schedule and focus completely on the book.
Mark: How did you go about getting your book published?
Leo: It was much easier after Zen Habits became popular — when you have 20,000 very enthusiastic readers (as I did when I sold the book — I'm up to about 80,000 now), a publisher gets excited. I wrote up a book proposal, gave it to an agent who had contacted me, and she helped me polish it up a bit. Then she shopped it around and we found the right publisher.
Mark: You've written countless blog posts and released several ebooks. What prompted you to publish The Power of Less in print this time?
Leo: While I reach thousands of readers through my blog and through the ebooks, I know there are many more people I can't reach through digital means. So I decided to do the print book to reach those who are more familiar with bookstores than blogs — and there are lots of those still. It won't be much longer when that number has dwindled to a few holdouts, but for now, it's good to take a multiple-media attack if you want to reach the most people possible.
Mark: Do you have any offline promotion planned to reach this audience or are you hoping that word of mouth will simply spread from online readers?
Leo: I'd really love it if online readers spread the word about the book — I really think that's the best promotion possible: a satisfied customer. But I'm also doing some print and radio interviews and promotions. The majority of my promotions, at least for now, will be online, though.
Mark: Blogs and ebooks have the advantage over print of being able to provide timely information on rapidly changing subjects. However your advice has a timeless quality to it. The messages of simplicity and focus you describe in the companion ebook Thriving on Less: Simplifying in a Tough Economy are only likely to grow in importance as we're confronted with ever increasing choice, complexity and change in our lifetime. Was this a factor in deciding to publish in print?
Leo: I really think my message of simplicity is a perfect fit for both online and print reading. Online, our world is increasingly technical and overwhelming, so the simplicity that I recommend is extremely useful. But even for those who like to curl up with a good print book (like myself actually), it's good to be able to read this message of simplicity, and to look around you in the real world and see ways you can simplify your life, become happier and work more effectively.
Mark: What is the main message you're hoping readers will take away from the book?
Leo: That simplifying can have a profound impact on our lives — as we identify the essentials to be more effective and live the life we want, as we set limits and learn to say "no", as we start small and form positive habits, as we learn to focus on one thing at a time, and as we slow down to enjoy life more.
Mark: One of your key pieces of advice on simplifying your life is to eliminate the non-essential. When I did this exercise I found my day job came up high on this list. Although I enjoy my job, a 12 hour day (includes commuting time) away from my family and the fact I'm working for someone else makes it nonessential, save for the income it generates. I imagine this is a very common situation. Do you have any specific advice on reducing or eliminating the dependency on a regular day job?
Leo: What are you more passionate about than your day job? For me, it was writing about the things I write about on Zen Habits and in The Power of Less. So I made it a goal to transition to this, over time — I couldn't eliminate my day job overnight, but slowly I increased my income from writing and decreased my need for my day job. If you're passionate about it, you'll work hard at it. Make this passion one of your essentials and make time for it.
Mark: As you change your lifestyle is there a danger of growing apart from friends who are still living your old lifestyle? Should you just move on or try to change them too?
Leo: There is a danger of this happening, yes. But it doesn't have to happen — you can still maintain your bond with your friends and find common ground. Talk with them about the changes in your life, acknowledge that there are differences between you now and that it could make things uncomfortable, and talk about how they feel about it. It could take them awhile to adjust, so be patient, educate them, be positive.
However, if people cannot accept the new you, and are constantly critical and negative, there may be a point where you decide the relationship isn't worth it. That's OK too … people change and relationships don't always last forever. In the end, you want to have friendships that are meaningful and positive.
Mark: There is a huge difference between theory and practice. How successful are you at following your own advice on a daily basis? Do you have a sense of trying to live up to your readers expectations? Do you days where things go completely off the rails?
Leo: I fail on a daily basis! I'm not perfect, nor have I ever pretended to be. However, I have made most of these principles a habit for the most part, and I know that when I do focus on the essentials, focus on one task at a time, and clear away distractions, I'm much, much more effective. I also like to live a simple life, and I think my life reflects that most of the time.
I do feel that I have to live up to readers' expectations, but I try to be honest with them and don't pretend I'm a god or anything. They appreciate the honesty, and I think this kind of sincere relationship is much easier to live up to than trying to be perfect in the eyes of others.
Do I have days when things go completely off the rails? If you mean do I ever get lazy and unproductive, then yes! I sometimes take entire days off and just lounge around. I call these "good days". They're lovely. Do I also have days when things get complicated and hectic?
Yes, and that's when I pause and simplify things. I also remind myself to take one thing at a time, and then things calm down considerably.
Mark: Some tips for leading a frugal lifestyle can prove to be false economies in the long run. Do you think eliminating cable from your life might have contributed to you being the proud father of 6?
Leo: Ha! I have definitely found ways to have fun other than watch TV or spend a lot of money, although I still do those things now and then.
However, I should point out that I eliminated cable TV *after* I had my kids, so the cause-and-effect might be reversed — the 6 kids forced me to be more frugal! Being more frugal with my kids, though, is actually a blessing in disguise — when we do things for free or cheap, we have so much more fun than when we watch TV or spend a lot of money.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful answers today Leo. I'm sure The Power of Less is going to find a whole new group of appreciative readers.
The Power of Less is available now from Amazon.com here. For more information on the book, including a number of other valuable resources, visit ThePowerOfLess.com.

For a long time, we've been peeved by magazines' skewed ideas of what constitutes affordable. (Never mind the debate over whether fashion prices are deliberately exclusionary.) So pervasive is the notion that $150 is a reasonable expense for a belt that we occasionally have to wonder why our wardrobe contains so few expensive pieces. Will we ever own a pair of red-soled Louboutins? Is there some expense we could cut from our budget to be better able to afford a Balenciaga bag? Are we flat-out deluded thinking that our ensembles look like they don't come from H&M? Not that we want those things, exactly, but we want to be able to afford them.
And then we had a sobering experience. We were at MAGIC, talking to a sales rep. As she showed us a handful of modal t-shirts, we asked the wholesale price. "$37," she replied.
Our response? "Oh, so that's really accessible." The sales rep nodded and moved on to pick up a hooded sweatshirt, and we started to hate ourselves. At a wholesale price of $37, that t-shirt likely retails for at least $70. Which, even if money were no object, is an awful lot of cash to spend on a mere tee, and $70 is certainly not a mass-market price for a little cotton shirt. But in the moment we deemed that particular price point "accessible," we wholeheartedly believed it. We were sleep-deprived, we'd already spent days walking the never-ending aisles of the show seeing pieces whose prices were far more unjustified, and, well, the t-shirts were baby-blanket soft. (We just feel fortunate that we snapped back to reality before we broke out the Visa card at the Fashion Show Mall later in the week.)
All of which is a really long way of saying that, having been immersed in a fantasy land of desirable consumer goods, we sort of understand how writers for Bazaar choke up the nerve to refer to a $300 cardigan as a "steal." So our interest was piqued by "Why Does It Cost So Much?" in the March issue. Why, indeed?
Unfortunately, the article devotes just one brief paragraph to the actual reasons why apparel and accessories bear exorbitant price tags. Discard any notions of getting an educational glimpse inside the industry! Rather, the focus is on "how to cope and still look cool." Here's what writer Nandini D'Souza had to say:
…I held up my beloved pair of silver Dries Van Noten leather sandals…"How much do you think these cost?" I asked my husband, playing devil's advocate. "Flip-flops are cheap," he analyzed in a finance-thinking way. "But since they're designer, $40, maybe $50."
Until then, I had never doubted the $300-plus I had shelled out a few years ago for them…I started questioning my sanity: More than $300 for flip-flops?…I had thought I was one of the more frugal fashion editors around. But I wondered, when did everything get so expensive, and when did I stop noticing?
This apparently sincere question is followed by a litany of agreement from people who can actually afford those $300 flip-flops. Which, you know, is annoying. Can you really complain that $500 is too much to pay for shoes when, in fact, you have the ability to buy $500 shoes? (Tangential whine: when did "social" become acceptable parlance for "socialite"?)
"Social" Nina Griscom says,
"The prices today are so astronomical."
And designer Jenni Kayne weighs in:
"You can't get a pair for less than $500; $300 used to be the normal expensive shoe."
So who's to blame for these ultra-pricey pieces? Designers! Phillip Lim explains himself.
"A dress can cost you $20,000. That's a whole lot of money," he says. "You can renovate your kitchen for that, or for some people that's their salary or their child's school tuition. You start to feel guilty."
For one, lines like Lim's 3.1 Phillip Lim and Kayne's label are filling the yawning gap between high and low. Socialite turned designer Tory Burch says, "The whole reason I started my company is because fashion is expensive."
Tory Burch also charges $195 for a striped cotton tee, so forgive us if we aren't exactly in agreement with her assessment of "expensive."
To be fair, the article does give some reasonably good (if not novel) advice about not buying things just because they're on sale, and recommends that women develop a uniform that suits their body type and lifestyle so they don't feel the need to give in to every passing trend. However, the article gets progressively more grating, predictably returning to the justification of the positively vulgar price tags of luxury goods. What else can be expected from people whose livelihoods are dependent on the public buying costly stuff they don't need? A chorus of fashion people rationalize their expenditures thusly:
On a $1,300 pair of Chanel boots:
"But they're worth it, and they make everything look chic."
On an Oscar de la Renta dress:
"…I'll have it for the rest of my life. You can wear it again, and it never looks like last season's dress."
On $800 Azzedine Alaia shoes:
"Outrageous. But I wear them a lot."
About the $7,000-and-up Kelly and Birkin bags from Hermès:
"It's more about what's timeless than what's trendy."
And our favorite, on a handbag by Yves Saint Laurent:
"I was like, 'Oh my God, it's only $1,595. It's a deal!'" she recalls. "How sad is that?"
Very, very sad. Even worse is the article's next implication. Can't even manage to splash out on one of these "deal"s? You're probably fat, too!
But let's face it, not everyone can pull off those curved contours the way Jennifer Connelly did just weeks after Nicholas Ghesquiere introduced them. That doesn't mean that that look can't translate for a less-than-lithe nonceleb gal. "If you can't afford the dress, get the shirt or scarf," says [actress/designer Katie] Nehra. [emphasis ours]
Wait, we're confused. What exactly is our problem again? Is it that we can't afford or can't fit into designer garb? Never mind! Here's another plug for Phillip Lim!
…For spring, he has several alternatives to his own runway looks, including versions of a mint Grecian dress and a citron frock with a chain neckline.
At least he's smart enough to knock off his own designs before Forever 21 does! Though we aren't exactly sure how this reconciles with the guilt he mentioned earlier, especially when he suggests a way to acclimate to items whose prices contain a comma.
Lim's advice for things that seem too expensive at first? "Sit on it for a few days, maybe a week." [emphasis ours]
However, the most incredulity-inducing quote in the whole article has nothing to do with cash money:
Echoes Burch of seasonal hits, "They're so identifiable, and I'd rather not wear something that screams what it is."
This from a woman who puts her logo all over her line.
Ultimately, the article concludes that we should approach our wardrobes and our retirement plans in a similar manner.
The best way to stretch your dollar while still looking like a million of them is to think long-term investment…
Designer clothes as a long-term investment? Rather ludicrous coming from a magazine that tells us we need new clothes every single month.

On Saturday, Cleveland will play host to the Southeast Tennessee History Day competition for the first time.
Sixty-one students are expected to converge upon the Museum Center at Five Points for the event that will allow middle and high school students from around the region to share what they have learned about American history.
Students will be presenting a variety of historical projects based on a common theme in hopes of being named the best storytellers.
The theme this year is "Rights and Responsibilities." Students can choose any topic they feel fits within the theme.
Joy Veenstra, the curator of education at the museum and the district competition's coordinator, said this year's competitors have chosen to focus on a variety of themes, but many have chosen to focus on women fighting for the right to vote.
Once students have chosen their topic, they can write an academic paper, create a website, put on a theatrical performance, make a documentary film or create a museum-style exhibit. The possibilities of what can be done to share the stories of historical events is only limited by students' imaginations.
"I have been blown away by History Day projects," Veenstra said.
Students can compete as individuals or in groups. There are two different age group categories as well. Middle school students take part in the junior division, and high school students take part in the senior division.
Competitors from places like McMinn, Meigs and Monroe counties will be visiting to share their projects and performances. This year, only two students participating in the competition are from Bradley County. However, Veenstra said she is optimistic the number of local students will be larger next year.
"I've been working to raise awareness locally and get more Bradley County participants," Veenstra said.
She said teachers can either make creating a project for the competition a classroom assignment, or students can register to participate on their own.
The winners of the regional competition will then move on to the Tennessee History Day competition March 24 in Nashville. The winners of the state competition can then take part in National History Day, which will take place June 15-19 at the University of Maryland at College Park, which is near Washington, D.C.
Veenstra said much of the judging for the regional history event is closed to the public, because part of the process has students taking part in interviews with the judges. They will be judging students' exhibits between 10 a.m. and noon.
However, anyone interested in learning about the competition can stop to see what it is like. The event is set to take place at the museum on Saturday, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
"This is a cool opportunity for students," Veenstra said, reiterating her desire to see more local students take part next year.
Between now and then, the museum will be hosting events for teachers to help them learn how to lead their students in learning about history using primary sources, something that could help students tell others about history.
The first will be on April 2 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., when the museum will host a free workshop for educators titled "Primary Sources and Common Core."
The museum requires teachers to register for the event by calling 339-5745 or emailing email@example.com.

TCL Predicts The Stanley Cup Final

2012 Stanley Cup FinalNew Jersey Devils vs. Los Angeles Kings Every year, we predict, we project, we try to come up with logical conclusions to what's going to happen in the latest NHL season. Everyone has their opinions, everyone comes up with their own regular season and playoff winners, their own Final, their own Stanley Cup Champions. Usually, those predictions end up being wrong. Sure, you might get lucky with a high seed, but if the playoffs prove anything year-in and year-out, it's that the National Hockey League is absolutely unpredictable. This season has ramped that up to a degree we've never seen before. To give you a brief summary, the fir...
